TLDR
The entanglement potential detects nonclassicality, has a direct physical interpretation, and can be computed efficiently, which make it stand out from previously proposed non classicality measures.
Abstract
We propose the entanglement potential (EP) as a measure of nonclassicality for quantum states of a single-mode electromagnetic field. It is the amount of two-mode entanglement that can be generated from the field using linear optics, auxiliary classical states, and ideal photodetectors. The EP detects nonclassicality, has a direct physical interpretation, and can be computed efficiently. These three properties together make it stand out from previously proposed nonclassicality measures. We derive closed expressions for the EP of important classes of states and analyze as an example of the degradation of nonclassicality in lossy channels.

Measuring quantum coherence with entanglement

TL;DR: This work demonstrates the usefulness of the approach by proving that the fidelity-based geometric measure of coherence is a full convex coherence monotone, and deriving a closed formula for it on arbitrary single-qubit states.

Quantum-enhanced measurements without entanglement

TL;DR: In this article, a review of quantum-enhanced measurements can be found, including the use of more general quantum correlations such as quantum discord, identical particles, or non-trivial hamiltonians, and the estimation of thermodynamical parameters or parameters characterizing non-equilibrium states.

Frozen quantum coherence.

TL;DR: This work identifies universal conditions in terms of initial states and local incoherent channels such that all bona fide distance-based coherence monotones are left invariant during the entire evolution of an open quantum system.

Multiphoton quantum optics and quantum state engineering

TL;DR: A review of theoretical and experimental aspects of multiphoton quantum optics can be found in this paper, where the authors focus on parametric processes in nonlinear media, with special emphasis on the engineering of nonclassical states of photons and atoms that are relevant for the conceptual investigations and for the practical applications of modern quantum mechanics.

All nonclassical correlations can be activated into distillable entanglement.

TL;DR: A protocol in which general nonclassical multipartite correlations produce a physically relevant effect, leading to the creation of bipartite entanglement, emphasizing the key role of state mixedness in maximizing non classicality.

On the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that even without such a separability or locality requirement, no hidden variable interpretation of quantum mechanics is possible and that such an interpretation has a grossly nonlocal structure, which is characteristic of any such theory which reproduces exactly the quantum mechanical predictions.

Coherent and incoherent states of the radiation field

TL;DR: In this article, the photon statistics of arbitrary fields in fully quantum-mechanical terms are discussed, and a general method of representing the density operator for the field is discussed as well as a simple formulation of a superposition law for photon fields.

Computable measure of entanglement

TL;DR: A measure of entanglement that can be computed effectively for any mixed state of an arbitrary bipartite system is presented and it is shown that it does not increase under local manipulations of the system.

Experimental Test of Bell's Inequalities Using Time- Varying Analyzers

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship of linear polarizations of pairs of photons was measured with time-varying analyzers, and the results were in good agreement with quantum mechanical predictions but violate Bell's inequalities by 5 standard deviations.

Peres-horodecki separability criterion for continuous variable systems

R. Simon
TL;DR: The Peres-Horodecki criterion of positivity under partial transpose is studied in the context of separability of bipartite continuous variable states and turns out to be a necessary and sufficient condition for separability.
