- Abstract: Quantum non-Gaussianity, a more potent and highly useful form of
nonclassicality, excludes all convex mixtures of Gaussian states and Gaussian
parametric processes generating them. Here, for the first time, we conclusively
test quantum non-Gaussian coincidences of entangled photon pairs with the
CHSH-Bell factor $S=2.328\pm0.004$ from a single quantum dot with a depth up to
$0.94\pm 0.02$ dB. Such deterministically generated photon pairs fundamentally
overcome parametric processes by reducing crucial multiphoton errors. For the
quantum non-Gaussian depth of the unheralded (heralded) single-photon state, we
achieve the value of $8.08\pm0.05$ dB ($19.06\pm0.29$ dB). Our work
experimentally certifies the exclusive quantum non-Gaussianity properties
highly relevant for optical sensing, communication and computation.

of the population inversion: transition to lasing in the class-B limit [62.997667081978825]
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.

Photonic quantum technology provides a viable route to quantum communication, quantum simulation, and quantum information processing.
Recent progress has seen the realisation of boson sampling using 20 single-photons and quantum key distribution over hundreds of kilometres.
For applications, a significant roadblock is the poor quantum coherence upon interfering single photons created by independent quantum dots.
Here, we demonstrate two-photon interference with near-unity visibility ($93.0pm0.8$)% using photons from two completely separate GaAs quantum dots.
