Abstract: The conventional photon subtraction and photon addition transformations,

v a r r h o i g h t a r r o w t a v a r r h o a^{d a g}

and

v a r r h o i g h t a r r o w t a^{d a g} v a r r h o a

, are not valid quantum operations for any constant

t > 0

since these transformations are not trace nonincreasing. For a fixed density operator

v a r r h o

there exist fair quantum operations,

{c a l N}_{-}

and

{c a l N}_{+}

, whose conditional output states approximate the normalized outputs of former transformations with an arbitrary accuracy. However, the uniform convergence for some classes of density operators

v a r r h o

has remained essentially unknown. Here we show that, in the case of photon addition operation, the uniform convergence takes place for the energy-second-moment-constrained states such that

m t r [v a r r h o H^{2}] l e q E_{2} < i n f t y

,

H = a^{d a g} a

. In the case of photon subtraction, the uniform convergence takes place for the energy-second-moment-constrained states with nonvanishing energy, i.e., the states

v a r r h o

such that

m t r [v a r r h o H] g e q E_{1} > 0

and

m t r [v a r r h o H^{2}] l e q E_{2} < i n f t y

. We prove that these conditions cannot be relaxed and generalize the results to the cases of multiple photon subtraction and addition.
