Sufficient single-mode witnesses include a Fano factor Varn/⟨n⟩<1, an optical quadrature variance below 1/4 for [X,P]=i/2, or photon antibunching with g(2)(0)<1. Classical mixtures obey Varn≥⟨n⟩, and g(2)(0)=E(∣α∣4)/E(∣α∣2)2≥1 by nonnegative variance. The tests are sufficient rather than necessary and exclude the vacuum case when dividing by zero mean occupation.
