Integration of superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors with nanophotonic
waveguides is a key technological step that enables a broad range of classical and quantum …

The generation, measurement, and manipulation of light at the single-and few-photon levels
underpin a rapidly expanding range of applications. These range from applications moving …

Single-photon detectors are ubiquitous in quantum information science and quantum
sensing. They are key enabling technologies for numerous scientific discoveries and …

We report a measurement workflow free of systematic errors consisting of a reconfigurable
photon-number-resolving detector, custom electronic circuitry, and faithful data-processing …

The advantages of using quantum states of light for object detection are often highlighted in
schemes that use simultaneous and optimal measurements. Here, we describe a theoretical …

Although heralding signals in quantum optics experiments are typically based on the
detection of exactly one photon, it has recently been theoretically shown that heralding …

Zero-photon subtraction (ZPS) is a conditional measurement process that can reduce the
mean photon number of quantum optical states without physically removing any photons …

The process of single-photon subtraction (SPS) is known to dramatically alter the properties
of certain quantum optical states. Somewhat surprisingly, subtracting zero photons can also …

We present a study of optical quantum states generated by subtraction of photons from the
thermal state. Some aspects of their photon number and quadrature distributions are …

Normalized correlation functions provide expedient means for determining the photon-
number properties of light. These higher-order moments, also called the normalized factorial …
