Generating Fock-state superposition from coherent state by quantum
measurement
High-level Fock states and their superpositions are essentially exotic testbeds for nonclassical physics and valuable resources for quantum technologies. We provide a simple protocol on quantum measurement to generate an arbitrary Fock state and selected superposed Fock states from a coherent state of a target resonator, without any carefully tailored …
