The semiclassical analysis of Floquet systems can not account for quantum-optical phenomena that rely on the quantized nature of light. Here, we go beyond the semiclassical description by unifying Floquet theory with quantum optics using the framework of Full-Counting Statistics. This formalism, which we dub 'Photon-resolved Floquet theory' (PRFT), is based on two-point tomographic measurements, instead of the two-point projective measurements used in standard Full-Counting Statistics [1,2]. The PRFT predicts the generation of macroscopic light-matter entanglement when atoms interact with multimode electromagnetic fields, thereby leading to complete decoherence in the Floquet-state basis. Employing the PRFT, we propose a quantum communication protocol that may outperform the state-of-art few-photon protocols by two orders of magnitude or better.
