The quantum interference effects of mixing the most non-classical states of light, number states, with the most classical-like of pure field states, the coherent state, are investigated. We demonstrate how the non-classicality of a single photon when mixed with a coherent field can transform the statistical properties of the output and further demonstrate that the entanglement of the output is independent of the coherent state amplitude.This article is part of the theme issue 'The quantum theory of light'.
研究了将光的最非经典态——数态，与最类似经典的纯场态——相干态混合时的量子干涉效应。我们展示了单光子与相干场混合时的非经典性如何改变输出的统计特性，并进一步证明输出的纠缠与相干态振幅无关。本文是主题为“光的量子理论”的特刊的一部分。
