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

Abstract
Quantum non-Gaussian states represent an important class of highly non-classical states whose preparation requires quantum operations or measurements beyond the class of Gaussian operations and statistical mixing. Here we derive 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. We prove that the criteria hold for arbitrary multimode states, which is important for their applicability in experiments with broadband sources and single-photon detectors. Interestingly, our approach allows to detect quantum non-Gaussianity using only one photodetector instead of complex multiplexed photon detection schemes, at the cost of increased experimental time. We also formulate a quantum non-Gaussianity criterion based on the vacuum probability and mean photon number of the state and we show that this criterion is closely related to the criteria based on pair of vacuum probabilities. We illustrate the performance of the obtained criteria on the example of realistic imperfect single-photon states modeled as a mixture of vacuum and single-photon states with background Poissonian noise.
