All states, except the identity, are nonclassical: entanglement of joint statistics

Abstract

Simple measurement protocols reveal that every states is nonclassical excluding just the identity state. We show that this is a consequence of the fact that we can always find a joint measurement whose statistics is not separable.

All states are nonclassical: entanglement of joint statistics

Alfredo Luis

Joint measurements of two observables reveal that every state is nonclassical, with the only trivial exception of the state with density matrix proportional to the identity. This naturally includes states considered universally as classical-like, such as SU(2) and Glauber coherent states. We show that this holds because we can always find a joint measurement whose statistics is not separable.

Nonclassicality of coherent states: Entanglement of joint statistics

Alfredo Luis, Laura Monroy

Simple joint measurements of pairs of observables reveal that states considered universally as classical-like, such as SU(2) spin coherent states, Glauber coherent states, and thermal states, are actually nonclassical. We show that this holds because we can find a joint measurement the statistics of which is not separable. Eventually this may be extended to all states different from the maximally mixed state.

Nonclassical light revealed by the joint statistics of simultaneous measurements

Alfredo Luis

Nonclassicality cannot be a single-observable property, since the statistics of any quantum observable is compatible with classical physics. We develop a general procedure to reveal nonclassical behavior of light states from the joint statistics arising in the practical measurement of multiple observables. Beside embracing previous approaches, this protocol can disclose nonclassical features for standard examples of classical-like behavior, such as SU(2) and Glauber coherent states. When combined with other criteria, this would imply that every light state is nonclassical.

Correlation measurements with systems of on-off detectors

Jan Sperling, W. Vogel, G. S. Agarwal

We consider measurements with systems of on-off detectors. Quantum correlations will be directly revealed by higher order moments of the joint click counting statistics. Some applications to nonclassical states will be discussed.

Apparatus contribution to observed nonclassicality

Alfredo Luis, Laura Ares

Any nonclassical effect noticed in measured statistics is usually attributed just to the light state being observed. According to Born's rule, quantum probabilities are given by the overlap between the system state and measurement states in a quite symmetrical way. We demonstrate that the nonclassicality of the measurement is a necessary condition to obtain nonclassical statistics. To this end, we present a detector characterization for two-observable joint detection processes based on detector tomography. This is particularized to the most common signatures of nonclassical light.
