Phys. Rev. A 59, 1658–1661 (1999)Generation of arbitrary quantum states of traveling fieldsSee Also: Erratum Received 31 July 1998; published in the issue dated February 1999 We show that any single-mode quantum state can be generated from the vacuum by alternate application of the coherent displacement operator and the creation operator. We propose an experimental implementation of the scheme for traveling optical fields, which is based on field mixings and conditional measurements in a beam-splitter array, and calculate the probability of state generation. © 1999 The American Physical Society URL:
