This study presents a comprehensive study of a driven degenerate Λ-type three-level laser system utilizing a squeezed vacuum reservoir to enhance its performance. The interaction between the laser medium and the squeezed vacuum field is analyzed, revealing significant improvements in coherence and output characteristics. By employing a Λ-type configuration, we explore the population inversion dynamics and the role of squeezed states in reducing quantum noise, ultimately leading to enhanced laser stability and efficiency. Theoretical models are developed to describe the laser dynamics, incorporating the effects of external pumping and the non-classical properties of the squeezed vacuum. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the incorporation of squeezed states leads to a notable increase in the laser's output power and spectral purity compared to traditional systems. These findings suggest that squeezed vacuum reservoirs can serve as a powerful tool for advancing the capabilities of three-level laser systems, with potential applications in quantum optics, communication technologies, and precision measurement.

Observing non-classical properties of light is a long-standing interest to advance a wide range of quantum applications. Optical cavities are essential to generate and manipulate non-classical light. However, detecting changes in cavity properties induced by the quantum state remains a critical challenge in the optical domain due to the weak material nonlinearity.

To that end, we derive the Wigner characteristic function of the -PCTMSC state and show that the 0-PCTMSC state is a Gaussian state and is an inferior choice as compared to the zero photon catalyzed two-mode squeezed vacuum state for CV-MDI-QKD. We carry out the optimization of the secret key rate with respect to all state parameters, namely variance, transmissivity, and displacement.

We explore how entanglement and non-locality evolve between specific spectral components of two-mode squeezed states in thermal environments. These spectral components are extracted from output modes using filters that are frequently utilized in optomechanical systems. We consider two distinct thermalization scenarios: one occurring in the vacuum state prior to entering the nonlinear crystal for squeezing and another after the generation of the two-mode squeezed vacuum but before passing through filters and detectors.
