• Authors: Kun Zhang, Huijun Li, Jietai Jing, Nicolas Treps, Mattia Walschaers,
• Abstract summary: We show that photon subtraction can reduce entanglement and purify some reduced states simultaneously. In a multimode system, we find that photon subtraction can increase entanglement and purify some of the reduced states simultaneously. We thus present purification through the suppression of Gaussian noise as a new application for photon subtraction in continuous-variable quantum information processing.

• Abstract: Photon subtraction can enhance entanglement, which for pure states induces a decrease in the purity of reduced states. In contrast, by analyzing the purities of Gaussian states before and after subtracting a single photon, we prove that the purity of a Gaussian state can also be increased by less than 20%. On the one hand, it reveals that photon subtraction can reduce entanglement, and on the other hand, it reveals that it can achieve a limited amount of Gaussian state purification. Through the analysis of some examples, we demonstrate the inherent mechanism and applicable scope of photon-subtraction-based purification. In a multimode system, we find that photon subtraction can increase entanglement and purify some of the reduced states simultaneously. We thus present purification through the suppression of Gaussian noise as a new application for photon subtraction in continuous-variable quantum information processing.

  We provide an extended theoretical analysis of squeezing distillation and purification. We show that the combination of photon subtraction and heralded Gaussification cannot suppress losses that have affected the input state. We have found that squeezing distillation by two-photon subtraction is closely related to certain methods for generating Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) states.

  Photon-subtracted two-mode squeezed vacuum states exhibit intricate correlations and unique quantum properties. We propose a theoretical yet experimentally feasible model to engineer these states using a waveguide trimer. Our study uncovers distinct characteristics of the photon-subtracted state depending on whether an even or odd number of photons is extracted.

  We look at the onset of Fermi's golden rule as a discrete microscopic bath of modes approaches the macroscopic thermodynamic limit. We show that it is necessary to keep a small but finite escape rate for each single-photon mode to obtain a finite long-time decay rate. Our formalism could be used to analyze recent experiments in superconducting circuits.

We experimentally observe the parity symmetry breaking of an ancillary Xmon artificial atom induced by the field of a lumped-element superconducting resonator.
