This review covers recent theoretical and experimental efforts to extend the application of
the continuous-variable quantum technology of light beyond" Gaussian" quantum states …

Advanced quantum technologies require scalable and controllable quantum resources,.
Gaussian states of multimode light, such as squeezed states and cluster states, are scalable …

We report a measurement workflow free of systematic errors consisting of a reconfigurable
photon-number-resolving detector, custom electronic circuitry, and faithful data-processing …

We develop a general formalism, based on the Wigner function representation of continuous-
variable quantum states, to describe the action of an arbitrary conditional operation on a …

Maxwell's Demon is at the heart of the interrelation between quantum information
processing and thermodynamics. In this thought experiment, a demon generates a …

Negativity of the Wigner function is seen as a crucial resource for reaching a quantum
computational advantage with continuous variable systems. However, these systems, while …

Thermal radiation played a pivotal role in the preliminary development of quantum physics
where it helped resolve the apparent incongruity of the ultraviolet catastrophe. In …

Thermal states of light are widely used in quantum optics due to their correlation properties.
As is well known, their correlation properties and the photon-number distribution as a whole …

The concept of Maxwell's demon, proposed in classical physics as a means to extract work
from a thermodynamics system beyond the constraints set by the second law of …

We address the characterization of a photon-number-resolving detector based on
continuous time multiplexing. We develop and verify a mathematical model of this detector …
