Classical model of quantum interferometry tests of macrorealism
Brian R. La Cour
Macrorealism is a characteristic feature of many, but not all, classical systems. It is known, for example, that classical light can violate a Leggett-Garg inequality and, hence, r…
Pinching operators for approximating multiphoton entangled states
Skylar R. Turner, Brian R. La Cour
We introduce the pinching operator, which extends the theory of squeezing operators to non-Gaussian operators, and use it to approximate -photon entangled states using a pinched…
Photon number resolving detectors as evidence for the corpuscular nature of light
Morgan C. Williamson, Gabriel D. Ko, Brian R. La Cour
We consider the question of whether photon-number-resolving (PNR) detectors provide compelling evidence for the discrete nature of light; i.e., whether they indicate the prior pres…
The Virtual Quantum Optics Laboratory
Brian R. La Cour, Maria Maynard, Parth Shroff +2
We present a web-based software tool, the Virtual Quantum Optics Laboratory (VQOL), that may be used for designing and executing realistic simulations of quantum optics experiments…
Entanglement and Impropriety
Brian R. La Cour, Thomas W. Yudichak
The relationship between quantum entanglement and classical impropriety is considered in the context of multi-modal squeezed states of light. Replacing operators with complex Gauss…
