• Abstract: Photon addition and subtraction render Gaussian states non-Gaussian. We provide a quantitative analysis of the change in nonclassicality produced by these processes by analyzing the Wigner negativity and quadrature coherence scale (QCS) of the resulting states. The QCS is a recently introduced measure of nonclassicality [PRL 122, 080402 (2019), PRL 124, 090402 (2020)], that we show to undergo a relative increase under photon addition/subtraction that can be as large as 200\%. This implies that the degaussification and the concomitant increase of nonclassicality come at a cost. Indeed, the QCS is proportional to the decoherence rate of the state so that the resulting states are considerably more prone to environmental decoherence. Our results are quantitative and rely on explicit and general expressions for the characteristic and Wigner functions of photon added/subtracted single- and multi-mode Gaussian states for which we provide a simple and straightforward derivation. These expressions further allow us to certify the quantum non-Gaussianity of the photon-subtracted states with positive Wigner function.

  We predict quantum non-Hermitian phenomena: the fractional quantum Zeno (FQZ) effect and FQZ-induced photon antibunching. We find FQZ-induced strong photon antibunching in the steady state of a driven emitter even for weak nonlinearities. Remarkably, we identify that the sub-Poissonian quantum statistics of photons, which has no classical analogs, stems here from the key role of non-Hermiticity.

  We study the role of photon addition, a non-Gaussianity inducing operation, in the enhancement of nonclassicality in a finite dimensional quantum state. In principle, decreasing the dimension of the state is analogous to holeburning and is thus expected to increase nonclassicality.
