Photon-number statistics with Silicon photomultipliers
Marco Ramilli, Alessia Allevi, Valery Chmill +3
We present a description of the operation of a multi-pixel detector in the presence of non-negligible dark-count and cross-talk effects. We apply the model to devise self-consisten…
On the discrimination between classical and quantum states
G. Brida, M. Bondani, I. P. Degiovanni +4
With the purpose to introduce a useful tool for researches concerning foundations of quantum mechanics and applications to quantum technologies, here we study three quantumness qua…
Non-Gaussian states by conditional measurements
Marco G. Genoni, Federica A. Beduini, Alessia Allevi +3
We address realistic schemes for the generation of non-Gaussian states of light based on conditional intensity measurements performed on correlated bipartite states. We consider bo…
Self-consistent phase determination for Wigner function reconstruction
Maria Bondani, Alessia Allevi, Alessandra Andreoni
We present the reconstruction of the Wigner function of a classical phase-sensitive state, a pulsed coherent state, by measurements of the distributions of detected-photons of the…
Photon statistics in the macroscopic realm measured without photon-counters
Alessandra Andreoni, Maria Bondani
In a macroscopic realm, in which photons are too many for being counted by any photon counting detector, photon statistics can be measured by using detectors simply endowed with li…
Wigner function of pulsed fields by direct detection
Maria Bondani, Alessia Allevi, Alessandra Andreoni
We present the reconstruction of the Wigner function of some classical pulsed optical states obtained by direct measurement of the detected-photon probability distributions of the…
State reconstruction by on/off measurements
A. Allevi, A. Andreoni, M. Bondani +7
We demonstrate a state reconstruction technique which provides either the Wigner function or the density matrix of a field mode and requires only avalanche photodetectors, without…
Correlations in photon-numbers and integrated intensities in parametric processes involving three optical fields
Jan Perina, Jaromir Krepelka, Maria Bondani +2
Two strongly-pumped parametric interactions are simultaneously realized in a single nonlinear crystal in order to generate three strongly correlated optical fields. By combining to…
