Proposal for witnessing non-classical light with the human eye

Proposal for witnessing non-classical light with the human eye

We give a complete proposal showing how to detect the non-classical nature of photonic states with naked eyes as detectors. The enabling technology is a sub-Poissonian photonic state that is obtained from single photons, displacement operations in phase space and basic non-photon-number-resolving de...
