This review covers the latest developments in continuous-variable quantum-state
tomography of optical fields and photons, placing a special emphasis on its practical aspects …

We present a review of theoretical and experimental aspects of multiphoton quantum optics.
Multiphoton processes occur and are important for many aspects of matter–radiation …

Provides fully updated coverage of new experiments in quantum optics This fully revised
and expanded edition of a well-established textbook on experiments on quantum optics …

This book is a comprehensive survey of most of the theoretical and experimental
achievements in the field of quantum estimation of states and operations. Albeit still quite …

A state of a quantum-mechanical system is completely described by a density matrix or a
phase-space distribution such as the Wigner function. The complete family of squeezed …

The state of a physical system is the mathematical description that provides complete
information on the system. Its knowledge is equivalent to knowing the result of any possible …

We have measured the complete Wigner function W of the vacuum and of a single-photon
state for a field stored in a high-Q cavity. This experiment implements the direct Lutterbach …

The term'nonclassical states' refers to the quantum states that cannot be produced in the
usual sources of light, such as lasers or lamps, rather than those requiring more …

We perform state tomography of an itinerant squeezed state of the microwave field prepared
by a Josephson parametric amplifier (JPA). We use a second JPA as a preamplifier to …

We present a detailed discussion of a general theory of phase-space distributions,
introduced recently by the authors [J. Phys. A 31, L9 (1998)]. This theory provides a unified …
