摘要

Low-order nonlinear phase gates allow the construction of versatile higher-order nonlinearities for bosonic systems and grant access to continuous variable quantum simulations of many unexplored aspects of nonlinear quantum dynamics. The resulting nonlinear transformations produce, even with small strength, multiple regions of negativity in the Wigner function and thus show an immediate departure from classical phase space. Towards the development of realistic, bounded versions of these gates we show that the action of a quartic-bounded cubic gate on an arbitrary multimode quantum state in phase space can be understood as an Airy transform of the Wigner function. This toolbox generalises the symplectic transformations associated with Gaussian operations and allows for the practical calculation, analysis and interpretation of explicit Wigner functions and the quantum non-Gaussian phenomena resulting from bounded nonlinear potentials.
