- Authors: Oscar Rosas-Ortiz and Kevin Zelaya
- Abstract summary: We introduce a model of entangled light beams leading to the subtraction of photons in one of the modes.
We show that photon subtraction does not produce nonclassical fields from classical fields.
We also show that injecting optical cats into a beam splitter gives rise to entangled states in the Bell representation.

- Abstract: Photon subtraction is useful to produce nonclassical states of light
addressed to applications in photonic quantum technologies. After a very
accelerated development, this technique makes possible obtaining either single
photons or optical cats on demand. However, it lacks theoretical formulation
enabling precise predictions for the produced fields. Based on the
representation generated by the two-mode $SU(2)$ coherent states, we introduce
a model of entangled light beams leading to the subtraction of photons in one
of the modes, conditioned to the detection of any photon in the other mode. We
show that photon subtraction does not produce nonclassical fields from
classical fields. It is also derived a compact expression for the output field
from which the calculation of conditional probabilities is straightforward for
any input state. Examples include the analysis of squeezed-vacuum and
odd-squeezed states. We also show that injecting optical cats into a beam
splitter gives rise to entangled states in the Bell representation.

Bosonic quantum error correcting codes are primarily designed to protect against single-photon loss.
Error correction requires a recovery operation that maps the error states -- which have opposite parity -- back onto the code states.
Here, we realize a collection of photon-number-selective, simultaneous photon addition operations on a bosonic mode.

No class-B quantum density-matrix model is available to date, capable of accurately describing coherence and photon correlations within a unified theory.
Here we carry out a density-matrix theoretical approach for generic class-B lasers, and provide closed equations for the photonic and atomic reduced density matrix in the Fock basis of photons.
This model enables the study of few-photon bifurcations and non-classical photon correlations in class-B laser devices, also leveraging quantum descriptions of coherently coupled nanolaser arrays.
