This review covers recent theoretical and experimental efforts to extend the application of the continuous-variable quantum technology of light beyond "Gaussian" quantum states, such as coherent and squeezed states, into the domain of "non-Gaussian" states with negative Wigner functions. Starting with basic Gaussian nonclassicality associated with single- and two-mode vacuum states produced by means of parametric down-conversion and applying a set of standard tools, such as linear interferometry, coherent state injection, and conditional homodyne and photon number measurements, one can implement a large variety of optical states and processes that are relevant in fundamental quantum physics as well as quantum optical information processing. We present a systematic review of these methods, paying attention to both fundamental and practical aspects of their implementation, as well as a comprehensive overview of the results achieved therewith.

The symplectic rank of non-Gaussian quantum states
The number of symplectic eigenvalues above the vacuum value defines a computable non-Gaussianity monotone that governs compression, tomography, simulation, and irreversibility under Gaussian operations.

Rigorous characterization of continuous-variable quantum states via optical parametric amplifiers
Quadrature-power (sign-free) measurements after phase-sensitive amplification are tomographically complete for parity-symmetric states and certify Wigner negativity and stellar rank from the same data.

Characterization of Generalized Coherent States through Intensity-Field Correlations
Intensity-field correlation functions witness nonclassicality in generalized coherent states by deviating from unity, providing an accessible alternative to intensity-intensity measurements.

Simplified scheme for continuous-variable entanglement distillation: multicopy distillation of Gaussian entanglement without heralding Gaussian measurements
The Gaussian vacuum-projection steps in a standard CV entanglement distillation protocol can be absorbed into the preparation of the input Gaussian states, leaving an equivalent protocol that uses only single-photon d...

Enhancement of non-Gaussianity and nonclassicality of pair coherent states with postselected von Neumann measurement
Postselected von Neumann measurement on one mode of a pair coherent state can enhance non-Gaussianity and nonclassicality for anomalous weak values, though quantum teleportation fidelity is not improved over the initi...
