Abstract
We report the experimental realization and tomographic analysis of quantum light states obtained by exciting a classical thermal field by a single photon. Such states, although completely incoherent, possess a tunable degree of quantumness which is here exploited to put to a stringent experimental test some of the criteria proposed for the proof and the measurement of state nonclassicality. The quantum character of the states is also given in quantum information terms by evaluating the amount of entanglement that they can produceFile in questo prodotto:
