Solid-state spin systems including nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond constitute an
increasingly favored quantum sensing platform. However, present NV ensemble devices …

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 …

The subtraction or addition of a prescribed number of photons to a field mode does not, in
general, simply shift the probability distribution by the number of subtracted or added …

Although heralding signals in quantum optics experiments are typically based on the
detection of exactly one photon, it has recently been theoretically shown that heralding …

Zero-photon subtraction (ZPS) is a conditional measurement process that can reduce the
mean photon number of quantum optical states without physically removing any photons …

The process of single-photon subtraction (SPS) is known to dramatically alter the properties
of certain quantum optical states. Somewhat surprisingly, subtracting zero photons can also …

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

Conditional addition of photons represents a crucial tool for optical quantum state
engineering and it forms a fundamental building block of advanced quantum photonic …

Extreme events appear in many physics phenomena, whenever the probability distribution
has a “heavy tail” differing very much from the equilibrium one. Most unusual are the cases …
