Abstract :
Nonclassicality of optical fields are the key resources in quantum information processing. Recently, Agarwal [New J. Phys., 13, 073008(2011)] proposed a method for engineering of a two-mode vortex state, a non-Gaussian state, by subtracting a photon from a two-mode squeezed state produced by down-converter from idler mode via a beam splitter with low reflectivity and detection of one photon by the avalanche photo diode (APD), or even better by a single-photon detector. We study the nonclassicalities of this state in terms of squeezing, antibunching, photon number correlation and distribution of photon number. In addition, we study higher-order nonclassical properties, viz., sum squeezing. We find that the non-Gaussian state shows strong nonclassical effects.
