Global quantum communication based on atmospheric free-space channels is a rapidly developing and growing research area. In this contribution, we address the question of how fluctuating losses in such channels affect the quantum properties of light. We perform a rigorous analysis of the quantum states after passing through the turbulent atmosphere and study different quantum effects including single-mode nonclassicality and Gaussian, non-Gaussian, and multi-partite entanglement. The survival of nonclassical effects in free-space channels is shown to depend on the mean photon number and on coherent displacements. Therefore, it differs essentially from constant-loss scenarios. We propose optimal strategies for the transmission of nonclassical quantum states. Eventually, our results will help to improve free-space quantum communication.
