• Abstract summary: Wigner functions negativity could exist only if the overall quantum efficiency $eta$ of the setup is higher than 1/2. We prove that this condition is not only necessary but also a sufficient one. In the case of bright (multi-photon) non-Gaussian quantum states, the negativity dependence on $eta$ is highly non-linear.

• Abstract: Non-Gaussian quantum states, described by negative valued Wigner functions, are important both for fundamental tests of quantum physics and for emerging quantum information technologies. However, they are vulnerable to dissipation. It is known, that the Wigner functions negativity could exist only if the overall quantum efficiency $\eta$ of the setup is higher than 1/2. Here we prove that this condition is not only necessary but also a sufficient one: the negativity always persists while this condition is fulfilled. At the same time, in the case of bright (multi-photon) non-Gaussian quantum states, the negativity dependence on $\eta$ is highly non-linear. With the loss of several photons, it drops by orders of magnitude, hampering its experimental detection.

• Effective algorithms for calculation of quasiprobability distributions of bright "banana'' states [0.0]
  Non-Gaussian quantum states, described by negative valued Wigner functions, are important both for fundamental tests of quantum physics and for emerging quantum information technologies. One of the promising ways of generation of the non-Gaussian states is the use of the cubic (Kerr) optical non-linearity, which produces the characteristic banana-like shape of the resulting quantum states. In this work, we develop quick algorithms for computing the Husimi and Wigner quasiprobability functions of these non-Gaussin states by means of the Kerr nonlinearity.

  quantitative investigation of the non-classical and quantum non-Gaussian characters of the photon-subtracted displaced Fock state. It is noticed that the number of photons subtracted ($k$) changes the nonclassicality and quantum non-Gaussianity in a significant amount. Wigner function dynamics considering the effects of photon loss channel is used to show that the Wigner negativity can only be exposed by highly efficient detectors.

We describe the first fully deterministic preparation of non-Gaussian Wigner-negative states of light, obtained by mapping the internal state of an intracavdberg superatom onto an optical qubit.

  We experimentally prepare optical non-Gaussian state with negative Wigner function at a remote node via local non-Gaussian operation. We show that the Wigner negativity is sensitive to loss on the target mode, but robust to loss on the mode performing photon subtraction. As an application, we present that the generated non-Gaussian state exhibits metrological power in quantum phase estimation.

  Negativity of the Wigner function is arguably one of the most striking non-classical features of quantum states. We derive witnesses for Wigner negativity of quantum states based on fidelities with Fock states. We show that our witnesses form a complete family - each Wigner negative state is detected by at least one witness.

We have shown that the obtained quantum state is more resistant to few particle losses from the condensates if tiny components of entangled Fock states are present.
