• Abstract: Photon addition to quantum states of light is of immense current interest, both experimentally and theoretically. We identify a set of markers of photon addition to coherent states of light, which are directly computable from relevant optical tomograms. The amplification gain due to photon addition, and the dependence of quadrature variances on relevant parameters, are calculated from the tomograms and compared with results from a recent experiment, obtained after state reconstruction. Our results match well with the fidelity plots reported by the experimenters. These markers could provide a viable procedure to characterize specific aspects of photon addition to light from the corresponding tomograms themselves.

  We theoretically explore the properties of heralded number states including up to three photons generated from single-mode twin beams. We use the fidelity, normalized second-order factorial moment of photon number for the heralded state $(g(2)_h)$, and photon-number parity as figures of merit.

• Measuring photon correlation using imperfect detectors [0.0]
  We show how the efficiency-recovery, photon statistics and intensity have an interdependent relationship which suppresses a detector's ability to count photons and measure correlations. We also demonstrate this effect with an experiment using $n$ such detectors to determine the $nmathrmth$ order correlation function with pseudothermal light.

Our results put forward photon correlation asymmetry as a promising approach to investigate coherent contributions to excited-stated dynamics in molecular aggregates and other many-site quantum emitters.

• Directional spontaneous emission in photonic crystal slabs [49.1574468325115]
  Spontaneous emission is a fundamental out-of-equilibrium process in which an excited quantum emitter relaxes to the ground state due to quantum fluctuations. One way to modify these photon-mediated interactions is to alter the dipole radiation patterns of the emitter, e.g., by placing photonic crystals near them. Our study delves into the interaction between these directional emission patterns and the aforementioned variables, revealing the untapped potential to fine-tune collective quantum optical phenomena.
