- Abstract summary: We show that the Wasserstein distance $W_1$ faithfully captures changes that arise due to photon addition to, or subtraction from, nonclassical states.
We explicate this in the case of the squeezed vacuum and even coherent states and show that photon addition (or subtraction) is mirrored in the shift in the intensity of specific regions in the tomogram.

- Abstract: We demonstrate that the Wasserstein distance $W_{1}$ corresponding to optical tomograms of nonclassical states faithfully captures changes that arise due to photon addition to, or subtraction from, these states. $W_{1}$ is a true measure of distance in the quantum state space, and is sensitive to the underlying interference structures that arise in the tomogram after changes in the photon number. Our procedure is universally applicable to the cat and squeezed states, the former displaying the characteristic negativity in its Wigner function, while the latter does not do so. We explicate this in the case of the squeezed vacuum and even coherent states and show that photon addition (or subtraction) is mirrored in the shift in the intensity of specific regions in the tomogram. Further, we examine the dependence of $W_{1}$ on the squeezing parameter, and its sensitivity to different quadratures.

multiphotonic interference and asymptotic classical correspondence [44.99833362998488]
We present the analysis of the quantum two-port interferometer in the $n rightarrow infty$ limit of $n$ partially indistinguishable photons.
Our main result is that the output distribution is dominated by the $O(sqrtn)$ channels around a certain $j*$ that depends on the degree of indistinguishability.
The form is essentially the doubly-humped semi-classical envelope of the distribution that would arise from $2 j*$ indistinguishable photons, and which reproduces the corresponding classical intensity distribution.

We formulate the density matrices of a quantum state obtained by first adding multi-photons to and then subtracting multi-photons from any arbitrary state.
Considering the field to be initially in a thermal (or in an even coherent) state, we evaluate the photon number distribution, Wigner function and Mandel's $Q$ parameter of the resulting field.

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.
