- Abstract: Propagating modes of light with negative-valued Wigner distributions are of fundamental interest in quantum optics and represent a key resource in the pursuit of optics-based quantum information technologies. Most schemes proposed or implemented for the generation of such modes are probabilistic in nature and rely on heralding by detection of a photon or on conditional methods where photons are separated from the original field mode by a beam splitter. In this Letter we demonstrate theoretically, using a cascaded-quantum-systems model, the possibility of deterministic generation of Wigner-negativity in temporal modes of the steady-state emission of a two-level system driven by finite-bandwidth quadrature-squeezed light. Optimal negativity is obtained for a squeezing bandwidth similar to the linewidth of the transition of the two-level system. While the Wigner distribution associated with the incident squeezed light is Gaussian and everywhere positive, the Wigner functions of the outgoing temporal modes show distinct similarities and overlap with a superposition of displaced squeezed states.

Bosonic quantum error correcting codes are primarily designed to protect against single-photon loss.
Error correction requires a recovery operation that maps the error states -- which have opposite parity -- back onto the code states.
Here, we realize a collection of photon-number-selective, simultaneous photon addition operations on a bosonic mode.

Photon correlations, as measured by Glauber's $n$-th order coherence functions, are highly sought to be minimized and/or maximized.
In systems that are coherently driven, so-called blockades can give rise to strong correlations according to two scenarios.
We show how these two approaches relate to the admixing of a coherent state with a quantum state.
