Nonclassical states of light can be efficiently generated by performing conditional measure-ments.

Abstract

Nonclassical states of light can be efficiently generated by performing conditional measure-ments. An experimental setup including Silicon Photomultipliers can currently be implemented for this purpose. However, these devices are affected by correlated noise, the optical cross talk in the first place. Here we explore the effects of cross talk on the conditional states by suitably expanding our existing model for conditional measurements with photon-number-resolving detectors. We assess the nonclassicality of the conditional states by evaluating the Fano factor and provide experimental evidence to support our results.
