• Abstract: Employing electro-optic sampling (EOS) with ultrashort probe pulses, recent experiments showed direct measurements of quantum vacuum fields and their correlations on subcycle timescales. Here, we propose a quantum-enhanced EOS where photon-number entangled twin beams are used to derive conditioned non-classical probes. In the case of the quantum vacuum, this leads to a six-fold improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio over the classically-probed EOS. In addition, engineering of the conditioning protocol yields a reliable way to extract higher-order moments of the quantum noise distribution and robust discrimination of the input quantum states, for instance a vacuum and a few-photon cat state. These improvements open a viable route towards robust tomography of quantum fields in space-time, an equivalent of homodyne detection in energy-momentum space, and the possibility of precise experiments in real-space quantum electrodynamics.

Our observations are a first step towards finer control of driven-dissipative systems, which have been predicted to generate quantum states.

• Macroscopic quantum superpositions in superconducting circuits [0.0]
  A test current pulse of fixed energy and adjustable length acquires quantum features after interacting with the quantum vacuum of the photon field. As the length of the pulse grows with respect to the characteristic size of the quantum system, the test pulse undergoes quantum-to-classical transition. This model differs from previous ones for its simplicity and points towards a new way of creating correlated systems suitable for quantum-based technology.

  In many states of the quantum electromagnetic field, including the vacuum state, entanglement exists between different space-time regions. We propose an experimental implementation of such an entanglement-harvesting scheme based on electro-optic sampling (EOS) We demonstrate that state-of-the-art EOS experiments enable one to harvest entanglement from the vacuum field and to study quantum correlations within general THz fields.
