Correction to: npj Quantum Information https://doi.org/10.1038/s41534-023-00720-w, published online 26 May 2023

In the abstract for this article, the sentence “This fundamental theorem demonstrates that the quantum statistical fluctuations, which define the nature of diverse light sources, can be modified upon propagation in the absence of light-matter interactions” was inadvertently truncated after the text ‘quantum statistical fluctuations; the following text was missing ‘which define the nature of diverse light sources’. The original article has been corrected.
