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.

Capacity of optical transmission with attenuation and amplification

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the optical signal transmitted on a fiber with thermal noise, attenuation and amplification, and the capacity was characterized by the attenuation/amplification coefficient and thermal noise in the transmission and at the measurement process together by the power of the input.

Entanglement enhancement in multimode integrated circuits

TL;DR: In this article, a multimodal extension to the enhancement via photon subtraction protocol is studied, and the authors show that the gain in entanglement is not monotonic with the number of modes or the degree of squeezing in the additional modes.

Fundamental limits on concentrating and preserving tensorized quantum resources

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigate the manipulation of quantum resources possessing the so-called tensorization property and identify the fundamental limitations on concentrating and preserving those quantum resources, and they show that if a resource measure satisfies the tensorisation property as well as the monotonicity, it is impossible to concentrate multiple noisy copies into a single better resource by free operations.

The “Squeeze Laser”

TL;DR: In this article , the authors presented a continuous-wave 1550-nm "squeeze laser" with a footprint of 80 × 80 cm and the well-defined output beam has an interference contrast of 99% with an overlapped 10mW beam being in an almost perfect TEM00 mode.

Matrix Analysis

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present results of both classic and recent matrix analyses using canonical forms as a unifying theme, and demonstrate their importance in a variety of applications, such as linear algebra and matrix theory.

Generalized Coherent States

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.
