Wigner Distribution Function and Husimi Function of a Kind of Squeezed Coherent State

We find a new x-parameter squeezed coherent state （p, q）κ representation, which possesses well-behaved features, i.e., its Wigner function＇s marginal distribution in the ＂q-direction＂ and in the ＂p-direction＂ is the Gauss/an form exp（-κ（q＇ - q）2}, and exp{（p＇ - p）2/κ}, respectively. Based on this, the Husimi function of（p, q）κ is also obtained, which is a Gauss/an broaden version of the Wigner function. The （P, q）κ state provides a good representative space for studying various properties ot the Husimi operator.

A generalized Collins formula derived by virtue of the displacement-squeezing related squeezed coherent state representation

Based on the displacement-squeezing related squeezed coherent state representation ｜z〉g and using the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators, this paper finds a generalized Fresnel operator, whose matrix element in the coordinate representation leads to a generalized Collins formula （Huygens-Fresnel integration transformation describing optical diffraction）. The generalized Fresnel operator is derived by a quantum mechanical mapping from z to sz -- rz^＊ in the ｜Z〉g representation, while ｜z〉g in phase space is graphically denoted by an ellipse.

Photon statistical properties of photon-added two-mode squeezed coherent states

We investigate photon statistical properties of the multiple-photon-added two-mode squeezed coherent states （PA- TMSCS）. We find that the photon statistical properties are sensitive to the compound phase involved in the TMSCS. Our numerical analyses show that the photon addition can enhance the cross-correlation and anti-bunching effects of the PA- TMSCS. Compared with that of the TMSCS, the photon number distribution of the PA-TMSCS is modulated by a factor that is a monotonically increasing function of the numbers of adding photons to each mode; further, that the photon addition essentially shifts the photon number distribution.

A new type of photon-added squeezed coherent state and its statistical properties

We construct a new type of photon-added squeezed coherent state generated by repeatedly operating the bosonic creation operator on a new type of squeezed coherent state [Fan H Y and Xiao M 1996 Phys. Lett. A 220 81l. We find that its normalization factor is related to single-variable Hermite polynomials. Furthermore, we investigate its statistical properties, such as Mandel＇s Q parameter, photon-number distribution, and Wigner function. The nonelassieality is displayed in terms of the intense oscillation of photon-number distribution and the negativity of the Wigner function.

Entanglement Properties of Two-Mode Squeezed Coherent States in Radiation Field

Entanglement properties of two-mode squeezed coherent states in the radiation field ＆re investigated according to the entanglement criterion [Phys. Rev. Lett. 84 （2000） 2722]. The dependence of entanglement on squeeze angle and squeeze parameter is discussed. It shows that the system evolves into entangled states and entanglement does not increase persistently with the increase of squeeze angle and squeeze parameter. There only exists a certain squeeze angle in which the entanglement exists continuously.

Preparation of Motional Mesoscopic Superpositions of Squeezed Coherent States of N Trapped Ions

A scheme is proposed to generate arbitrary, discrete superpostions of squeezed coherent states of the squeezed center of mass of N trapped ions along a straight line in phase space. The scheme is based on a resonant bichromatic excitation of each trapped ion that generates displacement and squeezing in the vibrational motion conditioned to each internal state. In this paper, we also show that such a method can be used for the engineering of motional quantum states.

The dependence of fidelity on the squeezing parameter in teleportation of the squeezed coherent states

This paper investigates an analytical expression of teleportation fidelity in the teleportation scheme of a single mode of electromagnetic field. The fidelity between the original squeezed coherent state and the teleported one is expressed in terms of the squeezing parameter r and the quantum channel parameter （two-mode squeezed state） p. The results of analysis show that the fidelity increases with the increase of the quantum channel parameter p, while the fidelity decreases with the increase of the squeezing parameter r of the squeezed state. Thus the coherent state （r= O） is the best quantum signal for continuous variable quantum teleportation once the quantum channel is built.

Oscillation behaviour in the photon-number distribution of squeezed coherent states

From the normally ordered form of the density operator of a squeezed coherent state（SCS）,we directly derive the compact expression of the SCS＇s photon-number distribution（PND）.Besides the known oscillation characteristics,we find that the PND is a periodic function with a period of π and extremely sensitive to phase.If the squeezing is strong enough,and the compound phase which is relevant to the complex squeezing and displacement parameters are assigned appropriate values,different oscillation behaviours in PND for even and odd photon numbers appear,respectively.

Properties of field quantum entropy evolution in the Jaynes-Cummings model with initial squeezed coherent states field

The properties of the field quantum entropy evolution in a system of a single-mode squeezed coherent state field interacting with a two-level atom is studied by utilizing the complete quantum theory, and we focus our attention on the discussion of the influences of field squeezing parameter γ, atomic distribution angle θ and coupling strength g between the field and the atom on the properties of the evolution of field quantum entropy. The results obtained from numerical calculation indicate that the amplitude of oscillation of field quantum entropy evolution decreases with the increasing of squeezing parameter γ, and that both atomic distribution angle θ and coupling strength g between the field and the atom can influence the periodicity of field quantum entropy evolution.

Quantum Properties of Two-Mode Squeezed Even and Odd Coherent States

Two new types of quantum states are constructed by applying the operator s（ξ） = exp（ξ＊ ab - ξa＋b＋） on the two-mode even and odd coherent states. The mathematical and quantum statistical properties of such states are investigated. Various nonclassical features of these states, such as squeezing properties, the inter-mode photon bunching, and the violation of Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, are discussed. The Wigner function in these states are studied in detail.

Wave function for the squeezed atomic coherent state in entangled state representation and some of its applications

Based on the Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen （EPR） entangled state representation, this paper introduces the wave function for the squeezed atomic coherent state （SACS）, which turns out to be just proportional to a single-variable ordinary Hermite polynomial of order 2j. As important applications of the wave function, the Wigner function of the SACS and its marginal distribution are obtained and the eigenproblems of some Hamiltonians for the generalized angular momentum system are solved.

Effects of photon addition on the quantum nonlocality of squeezed entangled coherent states

Effects of photon addition on the quantum nonlocality of squeezed entangled coherent states for Bell-inequality tests are studied theoretically. By utilizing the method of photon-parity measurement, it is found that photon addition can always increase the degrees of Bell violations within a certain parameter range. A possible scheme for generating photon-added squeezed entangled coherent states is proposed.

Quantum Light and Coherent States in Conducting Media

We present a simple description of classical and quantum light propagating through homogeneous conducting linear media. With the choice of Coulomb gauge, we demonstrate that this description can be performed in terms of a damped harmonic oscillator which is governed by the Caldirola-Kanai Hamiltonian. By using the dynamical invariant method and the Fock states representation we solve the time-dependent Schrödinger equation associated with this Hamiltonian and write its solutions in terms of a special solution of the Milne-Pinney equation. We also construct coherent states for the quantized light and show that they are equivalent to the well-known squeezed states. Finally, we evaluate some important properties of the quantized light such as expectation values of the amplitude and momentum of each mode, their variances and the respective uncertainty principle.
