TLDR
It is shown that Gaussian states cannot be distilled by local Gaussian operations and classical communication, and positive (but not completely positive) Gaussian maps are defined.
Abstract
We characterize the class of all physical operations that transform Gaussian states to Gaussian states. We show that this class coincides with that of all operations that can be performed on Gaussian states using linear optical elements and homodyne measurements. For bipartite systems we characterize the processes that can be implemented by local operations and classical communication, as well as those that can be implemented using positive partial transpose preserving maps. As an application, we show that Gaussian states cannot be distilled by local Gaussian operations and classical communication. We also define and characterize positive (but not completely positive) Gaussian maps.

Quantum metrology with optomechanical systems in the nonlinear regime

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived a general expression of the quantum Fisher information given the extended optomechanical Hamiltonian, and demonstrate its applicability through three concrete examples: estimation of a nonlinear light-matter coupling, the strength of a time-modulated mechanical displacement, and the sensitivity of a single-mode mechanical squeezing parameter, all of which are modulated at resonance.

All phase-space linear bosonic channels are approximately Gaussian dilatable

TL;DR: It turns out that all linear bosonic channels can be approximated by a Gaussian dilation using an ancilla with the same number of modes as the system, and an alternative dilation where the unitary is fixed in the approximating procedure is provided.

Generation and Detection of Continuous Variable Quantum Vortex States via Compact Photonic Devices

TL;DR: In this article, a quantum photonic circuit with the ability to produce continuous variable quantum vortex states is proposed, which produces two singlemode squeezed states which go through a Mach-Zehnder interferometer where photons are subtracted by means of weakly coupled directional couplers towards ancillary waveguides.

Generalized Coherent States

- 15 Oct 1971 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the generalized coherent states were studied using an operator technique similar to one we have used in a previous paper, and an alternative derivation of the most general coherent state was provided.
