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.

Preparation and control of entangled states in the two-mode coherent fields interacting with a moving atom via two-photon process

We investigate the preparation and the control of entangled states in a system with the two-mode coherent fields interacting with a moving two-level atom via the two-photon transition. We discuss entanglement properties between the two-mode coherent fields and a moving two-level atom by using the quantum reduced entropy, and those between the two-mode coherent fields by using the quantum relative entropy. In addition, we examine the influences of the atomic motion and field-mode structure parameter p on the quantum entanglement of the system. Our results show that the period and the duration of the prepared maximal atom-field entangled states and the frequency of maximal two-mode field entangled states can be controlled, and that a sustained entangled state of the two-mode field, which is independent of atomic motion and the evolution time, can be obtained, by choosing appropriately the parameters of atomic motion, field-mode structure, initial state and interaction time of the system.

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.

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.

Generation of Superpositions of Two-Mode Coherent States for the Motion of Two Trapped Ions

We propose a method for the generation of superpositions of two-mode coherent states for the center-of-mass and relative vibrational modes of two trapped ions. In the scheme the ions are driven by a single travelling-wave laser field tuned to the carrier. Then a measurement of the internal states collapses the vibrational modes to the entangled coherent state.

Wigner functions and tomograms of the photon-depleted even and odd coherent states

Using the coherent state representation of Wigner operator and the technique of integration within an ordered product （IWOP） of operators, this paper derives the Wigner functions for the photon-depleted even and odd coherent states （PDEOCSs）. Moreover, in terms of the Wigner functions with respect to the complex parameter a the nonclassical properties of the PDEOCSs are discussed. The results show that the nonclassicality for the state ｜β, m〉o （or ｜β,m〉e） is more pronounced when m is even （or odd）. According to the marginal distributions of the Wigner functions, the physical meaning of the Wigner functions is given. Further, the tomograms of the PDEOCSs are calculated with the aid of newly introduced intermediate coordinate-momentum representation in quantum optics.

Even and Odd Coherent States for Time-Dependent Harmonic Oscillator

The dynamical invariant for a general time-dependent harmonic oscillator is constructed by making use of two linearly independent solutions to the classical equation of motion. In terms of this dynamical invariant we define the time-dependent creation and annihilation operators and relevantly introduce even and odd coherent states for time dependent harmonic oscillator. The mathematical and quantum statistical properties of these states are discussed in detail. The harmonic oscillator with periodically varying frequency is treated as a demonstration of our general approach.

Continuous-variable quantum teleportation of even and odd coherent states through varied gain channels

This paper has investigated quantum teleportation of even and odd coherent states in terms of the EPR entanglement states for continuous variables. It discusses the relationship between the fidelity and the entanglement of EPR states, which is characterized by the degree of squeezing and the gain of classical channels. It shows that the quality of teleporting quantum states also depends on the characteristics of the states themselves. The properties of teleporting even and odd coherent states at different intensities are investigated. The difference of teleporting two such kinds of quantum states are analysed based on the quantum distance function.

Quasiprobability distributions of new kinds of even and odd nonlinear coherent states

Using a numerical computational method, quasiprobability distributions of new kinds of even and odd nonlinear coherent states （EONLCS） are investigated. The results show that the distributions of the new even nonlinear coherent states （NLCS） are distinct from those of the new odd NLCS and imply that the new EONLCS always exhibit some different nonclassical effects. Finally, with the aid of newly introduced intermediate coordinate-momentum representation in quantum optics, the tomograms of the new EONLCS are calculated. This is a new way of obtaining the tomogram function.

Amplitude-squared squeezing of the generalized odd-even coherent states of the anharmonic oscillator in a finite-dimensional Hilbert space

This paper discusses the properties of amplitude-squared squeezing of the generalized odd-even coherent states of anharmonic oscillator in finite-dimensional Hilbert space. It demonstrates that the generalized odd coherent states do exhibit strong amplitude-squared squeezing effects in comparison with the generalized even coherent states.

Finite-dimensional even and odd nonlinear pair coherent states and their some nonclassical properties

In this paper a new class of finite-dimensional even and odd nonlinear pair coherent states （EONLPCSs）, which can be realized via operating the superposed evolution operators D±（τ） on the state ｜q, 0）, is constructed, then their orthonormalized property, completeness relations and some nonclassical properties are discussed. It is shown that the finite-dimensional EONLPCSs possess normalization and completeness relations. Moreover, the finite-dimensional EONLPCSs exhibit remarkably different sub-Poissonian distributions and phase probability distributions for different values of parameters q, η and ξ.

Properties of Phase and Their Evolutions in Damped Odd and Even Coherent States

The properties of measured phase operators in damped odd and even coherent states have been studied. The fluctuations associated with measured phase and their squeezing in these states are investigated. The phase properties in damped superposition coherent states are considered too with the help of measured phase operators. These fluctuations and their squeezing are affected by damping and evolve with time elapsing.

Superposition Coherent States and Their Properties

Special kinds of generalized superposition states, superposition coherent states, are studied in this paper. These states can be produced by superposing a pair of coherent states ｜ α 〉 and ｜- α 〉. Their quantum statistical properties, the fluctuations of field and squeezing have been discussed in detail. These properties are dependent on superposition phase. We also describe the squeezing regions in phase space for these states.

Nonstandard Unitary Transformations of Quantum States

In quantum optics, unitary transformations of arbitrary states are evaluated by using the Taylor series expansion. However, this traditional approach can become cumbersome for the transformations involving non-commuting operators. Addressing this issue, a nonstandard unitary transformation technique is highlighted here with new perspective. In a spirit of “quantum” series expansions, the transition probabilities between initial and final states, such as displaced, squeezed and other nonlinearly transformed coherent states are obtained both numerically and analytically. This paper concludes that, although this technique is novel, its implementations for more extended systems are needed.

Nonclasssical Properties in Two-Mode Fields Resonantly Interacting with a Three-Level -Type Atom

Some noclassical properties in electromagnetic field are investigated for the interaction of two-modes initially taken in coherent-state representation with the three-level -type atom, such as squeezing properties and violation of the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality. The enhancement of field squeezing is found by selective atomic measurement. The Cauchy-Schwartz inequality is violated by the application of the classical field followed by detection in excited state.

奇偶相干态信号场下的量子关联和纠缠

为了实现两原子之间的非经典关联,借助于电磁诱导光透明(electromagnetically induced optical transparency,EIT)机制,利用量子态的映射技术,研究原子系综内两原子的量子关联和纠缠。结果表明:分别通过测量扰动刻画的量子关联和并发度刻画的量子纠缠,发现它们都能够被绝热地生成,但是,随着平均光子数的增加,二者的演变完全不同。随着平均光子数的增加,无论信号场是奇数相干态还是偶数相干态,它们都有利于量子关联的生成。对于奇相干态信号场,量子纠缠随着光子数的增加而逐渐减小;对于偶相干态信号场,量子纠缠却经历了一个先增加后减小的过程。系综内原子个数的增加,使得原子间的退相干加剧,从而导致量子关联和纠缠都被削弱。

Dynamics of Nonclassicality of Time-and Conductivity-Dependent Squeezed States and Excited Even/Odd Coherent States

Recently, the quantum description of electromagnetic waves in conducting media has been performed. It has been demonstrated that in particular case, the Hamiltonian of the corresponding field can be expressed by Caldirola–Kanai Hamiltonian. In this paper, using the associated annihilation and creation operators of the above-mentioned quantized field, the time-and conductivity-dependent squeezed vacuum and one-photon squeezed states as well as their superpositions, and also the time-and conductivity-dependent excited even and odd coherent states are produced. Also,using a few well-known nonclassicality criteria, the time evolution of nonclassicality features of the above classes of obtained states, in addition to the influence of medium conductivity on them are demonstrated, numerically. It has been shown that the nonclassicality indicators may be adjusted by tuning the conductivity of media.

kth-order antibunching effect for a new kind of excited even and odd q-coherent states

A new kind of excited even q-coherent states （aq^-1）^m｜α〉q^e and excited odd q-coherent states （aq^-1）^m｜α〉q^o is constructed by acting with inverse boson operators on the even and odd q-coherent states. The m dependence of the kth-order antibunching effect is numerically studied for k = 2, 3, 4, 5. It is shown that the kth-order antibunching effect enhances as m increases. The larger k, the quicker the antibunching effect enhances.

Squeezing and displacing related two-mode squeezed coherent state

A type of special two-mode squeezed coherent state is constructed which is a characteristic of squeezing and displacing related. The new states take simpler and neater form than the usual two-mode squeezed coherent states, and also possess a completeness relation. It is expected that experimentalists woking on quantum optics should fabricate such a type of squeezed coherent optical field.
