Description
Summary:The impact of a noisy Gaussian channel on a wide range of non-Gaussian input states is studied in this work. The nonclassical nature of the states, both input and output, is developed by studying the corresponding photon statistics and quasi-probability distributions. It is found that photon addition has more robust quantum mechanical properties as compared to the photon subtraction case. The threshold value of the noise parameter corresponding to the transition from partial negative ( W and P ) and zero ( Q ) to completely positive definite, at the center of phase space, depends not only on the average number of thermal photons in the state but also on the squeezing parameter. In addition, it is observed that the nonclassicality of the k th number filtrated thermal state could be further enhanced by adding photon(s).
