• Abstract: A theoretical framework is developed to analyze the generation of the optical GKP state using a single-photon-added squeezed vacuum. This state, defined by the squeezing parameter $r$, is injected into a 50:50 beam splitter, and the optical GKP state is obtained through conditional measurement at one output port. The single-photon-added squeezed vacuum is especially prominent in this context because it provides a simpler and more experimentally accessible ingredient than Schrodinger cat states, while conditional measurement ensures projection onto a state that closely approximates the finite-energy GKP form. Fidelity is employed to quantify this closeness, and the analysis demonstrates that the scheme achieves a maximum fidelity of 85% at a squeezing level of $3.76 \ \text{dB}$. This performance surpasses approaches based on squeezed optical odd Schrodinger cat states, underscoring the single-photon-added squeezed vacuum as a practical and effective pathway toward fault-tolerant photonic quantum computing.

  Two-photon absorption (TPA) is a nonlinear optical process with wide-ranging applications from spectroscopy to super-resolution imaging. We study the potential of single-mode quantum light to enhance TPA parameter estimation through the quantum Fisher information (QFI) For fixed average energy $barn in 2mathbbN$, the Fock state is shown to be optimal for large TPA parameters, while a superposition of vacuum and a particular Fock state is optimal for small absorption for all $barn$.

  Cat states with their unique phase-space interference properties are ideal candidates for understanding quantum mechanics. They are highly susceptible to photon loss, which inevitably diminishes their quantum non-Gaussian features.
