Continuous-variable nonclassicality certification under coarse-grained measurement

Year: 2023
Type: article
Abstract: Coarse graining is a common imperfection of realistic quantum measurement, obstructing the direct observation of quantum features. Under highly coarse-grained measurement, we experimentally certify the continuous-variable nonclassicality of both Gaussian and non-Gaussian states. Remarkably, we find that this coarse-grained measurement outperforms the conventional fine-grained measurement for nonclassicality certification: it detects nonclassicality beyond the reach of the variance criterion, and furthermore, it exhibits stronger statistical significance than the high-order moments method. Our work demonstrates the usefulness of coarse-grained measurement by providing a reliable and efficient way of nonclassicality certification for quantum technologies.
