• Abstract: We develop a method for generating a more squeezed than single-mode squeezed vacuum (SMSV) state by subtracting 2,4,6 photons from it. In general, the more photons are subtracted, the more gain of the squeezing (more of 3 dB) is observed in the measurement-induced continuous variable (CV) states of definite parity. However, the two-photon subtraction strategy is practically preferred. It can be implemented with higher success probability, wider squeezing gain width ~ 5 dB and least quadrature variance in the corresponding range of initial squeezing. We demonstrate the mitigating effect of a photon-number resolving (PNR) detector with non-unit quantum efficiency on the output characteristics of the measurement-induced CV states, resulting in their slight decrease compared to ideal photon subtraction. Use of a single photon in addition to the SMSV state at beam splitter (BS) input with subsequent registration of odd number of photons (say, 3 photons) allows the implementation of the measurement-induced even CV state which is several times brighter than the initial state and has lower quadrature noise.

  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.
