Abstract:
The electric-field-quadrature statistics of the ensembles of the vacuum state 0> are nonclassical according to the Vogel criterion. These states were synthesized and measured with an improved pair-production rate achieved by the pulse picking method. The Vogel criterion is generalized to apply to quadrature distributions obtained in interferometrically unstable settings. In addition, a quantitative analysis of statistical errors is given.Quantum-optical catalysis by means of a single photon
