Abstract

We propose an experimental quantum state engineering scheme for the high-fidelity conditional generation of various nonclassical states of practical relevance in traveling optical fields. It contains a single measurement, thereby achieving a high success probability. The generated state is encoded in the optimal choice of the physically controllable parameters of the arrangement. These parameter values are determined via numerical optimization.
