Generation of Nonclassical States of Microwave Radiation via Single
Photon Detection
   [PDF]

Luke C. G. Govia, Emily J. Pritchett, Frank K. Wilhelm
We describe the creation of nonclassical states of microwave radiation via ideal dichotomic single photon detection, i.e., a detector that only indicates presence or absence of photons. Ideally, such a detector has a back action in the form of the subtraction operator. Using the non-linearity of this back action, it is possible to create nonclassical states of microwave radiation, including squeezed and cat-like states, starting from a coherent state. We discuss the applicability of this protocol to current experimental designs of Josephson Photomultipliers (JPMs).
