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 non-Gaussianity criteria based on vacuum probabilities of original and attenuated state

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived criteria for certification of quantum non-Gaussianity based on probability of vacuum in the original quantum state and a state transmitted through a lossy channel with transmittance T. The criteria hold for arbitrary multimode states, which is important for their applicability in experiments with broadband sources and single-photon detectors.

Quantum Maximal Correlation for Gaussian States

TL;DR: In this paper , the quantum maximal correlation for bipartite Gaussian states of continuous-variable systems was derived for the Gaussian version of the local state transformation problem when both resource and target states are Gaussian.

Generation of Non-Gaussian Quantum State in Telecommunication Band

TL;DR: A dip in reconstructed Wigner functions of generated quantum states is observed, which is the clear evidence that a non-Gaussian operation was realized.

Nonclassicality versus quantum non-Gaussianity of photon subtracted displaced Fock state

TL;DR: In this paper , a quantitative investigation of the nonclassical and quantum non-Gaussian characters of the photon-subtracted displaced Fock state is performed by using a collection of measures like Wigner logarithmic negativity, linear entropy potential, skew information based measure, and relative entropy of quantum nonGaussianity.

Witnessing Wigner Negativity

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived witnesses for Wigner negativity of single mode and multimode quantum states, based on fidelities with Fock states, which can be reliably measured using standard detection setups.

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.
