• Abstract: A possible way of generating nonclassical states of light, especially non-Gaussian states, is via the truncation of a given state in the Fock basis. In recent work, we presented an alternative scheme for such quantum scissors [Phys. Rev. A 104, 033715 (2021)], employing a nondegenerate parametric amplifier, a beam splitter and photodetectors. An advantage of this setup is that it does not require the generation of Fock states beforehand, as in previous proposals. Here we extend this treatment to mixed input states. We show the possibilities of generating truncated states with either a maximum Fock number N or states having a minimum Fock number N. We discuss two specific examples of states to be truncated: i) the thermal state, and ii) the phase-diffused coherent state. In both cases, we show that the generated states can have significant sub-Poissonian statistics as well as non-Gaussian character. The degree of such nonclassical properties, as well as the success probabilities, can be changed by adjusting the parametric amplifier strength and the beam splitter transmittance.

• Generation of squeezed Fock states by measurement [0.0]
  Generation of squeezed Fock states by the one or more photon subtraction from a two-mode entangled Gaussian (TMEG) state is theoretically addressed. We show that, for first squeezed Fock state, the generation of the first squeezed Fock state is still possible by a one photon subtraction from an arbitrary TMEG state. At the same time, the maximum generation probability of the first squeezed Fock state generation corresponds to the universal solution regime.

  We show that the amplitude of the coherent state can be tuned to filter out specific Fock components and generate states of light with enhanced nonclassical features. We provide two examples of input states and demonstrate the effectiveness of our scheme in enhancing the sub-Poissonian statistics or the quadrature squeezing of the output states.

We also consider the generation of cat states from photon-added and photon-subtracted squeezed states, improving over known schemes by introducing additional squeezing operations.

• Separability and entanglement in superpositions of quantum states [0.0]
  We study the superpositions of a pure entangled state and a pure product state, when the amplitudes corresponding to the states appearing in any superposition are nonzero. All such superpositions produce only entangled states if the initial entangled state has Schmidt rank three or higher. We find that conditional inseparability of superpositions help in identifying strategies for conclusive local discrimination of shared quantum ensembles.
