| contents | The Glauber-Sudarshan, Wigner and Husimi quasiprobability distributions are indispensable tools in quantum optics. However, although mathematical relations between them are well established, not much is known about their operational connection. In this paper, we prove that a single composition of finite-strength quantum limited amplifier and attenuator channels, known for their noise-adding properties, turns the Glauber-Sudarshan distribution of any input operator into its Wigner distribution, and its Wigner distribution into its Husimi distribution. As we dissect, the considered process, which can be performed in a quantum optical laboratory with relative ease, may be interpreted as realizing a quantum-to-classical transition. |
