Generating nonclassical states from classical radiation by subtraction measurements

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 (bare lowering operator). Using...
