In this review, the authors introduce the notion of quantum nonclassicality of light and the role of nonclassicality in optical quantum metrology. The first part of this paper focuses on …
We derive a bound on the ability of a linear-optical network to estimate a linear combination of independent phase shifts by using an arbitrary nonclassical but unentangled input state …
Random walks have been employed in virtually every science related discipline to model everyday phenomena such as biochemical reaction pathways and DNA synapsis …
Quantum mechanics exhibits a wide range of nonclassical features, of which entanglement in multipartite systems takes a central place. In several specific settings, it is well known that …
We propose the entanglement potential (EP) as a measure of nonclassicality for quantum states of a single-mode electromagnetic field. It is the amount of two-mode entanglement …
Genuinely quantum states of a harmonic oscillator may be distinguished from their classical counterparts by the Glauber-Sudarshan P representation—a state lacking a positive P …
The existence of fundamentally identical particles represents a foundational distinction between classical and quantum mechanics. Because of their exchange symmetry, identical …
The nonclassicality of single-mode quantum states is studied in relation to the entanglement created by a beam splitter. It is shown that properly defined quantifications—based on the …
We demonstrate theoretically that the shot noise produced by a tunnel barrier in a two- channel conductor violates a Bell inequality. The nonlocality is shown to originate from …
