• Title: No Tradeoff between Coherence and Sub-Poissonianity for Heisenberg-Limited Lasers
• Authors: L. A. Ostrowski, T. J. Baker, S. N. Saadatmand, and H. M. Wiseman
• Abstract summary: Heisenberg limit to laser coherence $mathfrakC$ is the number of photons in the maximally populated mode of the laser beam. We generalize the previous proof of this upper bound scaling by dropping the requirement that the beam photon statistics be Poissonian. We show that the relation between $mathfrakC$ and sub-Poissonianity ($Q0$) is win-win, not a tradeoff.

• Abstract: The Heisenberg limit to laser coherence $\mathfrak{C}$ -- the number of photons in the maximally populated mode of the laser beam -- is the fourth power of the number of excitations inside the laser. We generalize the previous proof of this upper bound scaling by dropping the requirement that the beam photon statistics be Poissonian (i.e., Mandel's $Q=0$). We then show that the relation between $\mathfrak{C}$ and sub-Poissonianity ($Q<0$) is win-win, not a tradeoff. For both regular (non-Markovian) pumping with semi-unitary gain (which allows $Q\xrightarrow{}-1$), and random (Markovian) pumping with optimized gain, $\mathfrak{C}$ is maximized when $Q$ is minimized.

  We show that the limit of large quantum spin $S$ should be understood as a semiclassical limit. We present two families of classical approximation algorithms for $mathrmQMaxCut_S$ based on rounding the output of a semidefinite program to a product of Bloch coherent states.

• A Unified Framework for Uniform Signal Recovery in Nonlinear Generative Compressed Sensing [68.80803866919123]
  Under nonlinear measurements, most prior results are non-uniform, i.e., they hold with high probability for a fixed $mathbfx*$ rather than for all $mathbfx*$ simultaneously. Our framework accommodates GCS with 1-bit/uniformly quantized observations and single index models as canonical examples. We also develop a concentration inequality that produces tighter bounds for product processes whose index sets have low metric entropy.

  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.
