Abstract summary: Bell nonclassicality of a single photon superposition in two modes is one of the most striking nonclassical phenomena discussed in the context of quantum physics. We show how to robustly violate local realism within the weak-field homodyne measurement scheme for textitany superposition of one photon with vacuum.

Abstract: Bell nonclassicality of a single photon superposition in two modes, often referred to as `nonlocality of a single photon', is one of the most striking nonclassical phenomena discussed in the context of foundations of quantum physics. Here we show how to robustly violate local realism within the weak-field homodyne measurement scheme for \textit{any} superposition of one photon with vacuum. Our modification of the previously proposed setups involves tunable beamsplitters at the measurement stations, and the local oscillator fields significantly varying between the settings, optimally being {\it on} or {\it off}. As photon number resolving measurements are now feasible, we advocate for the use of the Clauser-Horne Bell inequalities for detection events using precisely defined numbers of photons. We find a condition for optimal measurement settings for the maximal violation of the Clauser-Horne inequality with weak-field homodyne detection, which states that the reflectivity of the local beamsplitter must be equal to the strength of the local oscillator field. We show that this condition holds not only for the vacuum-one-photon qubit input state, but also for the superposition of a photon pair with vacuum, which suggests its generality as a property of weak-field homodyne detection with photon-number resolution. Our findings suggest a possible path to employ such scenarios in device-independent quantum protocols.

We show that there exists an interplay between photon polarization and emission wavevector, strongly affecting quantum correlations when emitters are embedded in micro-cavities. Our results, backed by theoretical modelling, yield a brand-new understanding of cascaded emission for various quantum emitters.

In this work, we present the experimental realization of a protocol employing a time-multiplexing strategy to optimally discriminate among eight non-orthogonal states. The experiment was built on a custom-designed bulk optics analyser setup and single photons generated by a nearly deterministic solid-state source. Our work paves the way for more complex applications and delivers a novel approach towards high-dimensional quantum encoding and decoding operations.

Non-Gaussian states of an optical field are important as a proposed resource in quantum information applications. We propose a novel approach involving displacement of the ancilla field into the regime where mesoscopic detectors can be used. We conclude that states with strong Wigner negativity can be prepared at high rates by this technique under experimentally attainable conditions.
