A new kind of squeezed thermal state of continuum variables in degenerate case

In thermal field dynamics usually for every real field operator acting on a real space has an image acting on a fictitious space. In this work we construct a new kind of squeezed thermal state of continuum variables in which two real modes share one fictitious mode, this can be named the degenerate case. We also prove that this state-set makes up a new quantum-mechanical representation and show its application in solving some master equation.

Dissipation of a two-mode squeezed vacuum state in the single-mode amplitude damping channel

We explore how a two-mode squeezed vacuum state sechθ e^{a+b+ tanh θ} |00> evolves when it undergoes a singlemode amplitude dissipative channel with rate of decay κ. We find that in this process not only the squeezing parameter decreases, tanh θ → e^-κt tanh θ, but also the second-mode vacuum state evolves into a chaotic state exp{b⁺bln[1 - e^-2κt tanh² θ]}. The outcome state is no more a pure state, but an entangled mixed state.

Evolution of the single-mode squeezed vacuum state in amplitude dissipative channel

Using the way of deriving infinitive sum representation of density operator as a solution to the master equation describing the amplitude dissipative channel by virtue of the entangled state representation, we show manifestly how the initial density operator of a single-mode squeezed vacuum state evolves into a definite mixed state which turns out to be a squeezed chaotic state with decreasing-squeezing and deeoherence. We investigate average photon number, photon statistics distributions for this mixed state.

Spatial reshaping of a squeezed state of light

Reshaping the spatial profile, or mode, of a quantum state of light is one of the challenges in many quantum optics applications. We test the noise properties of a universal programmable mode converter and demonstrate that it can reshape the spatial mode of a beam while retaining its quantum properties. No detectable amount of noise is added to the light and only the standard transmission losses through conventional optical elements are found to affect the non-classical nature of the transformed light.     

Statistical properties for a class of nonlinear squeezed states

Theoretical investigations of dynamical behavior in optical parametric oscillators (OPO) have generally assumed that the cavity detunings of the interacting fields are controllable parameters. However, OPOs are known to experience mode hops, where the system jumps to the mode of lowest cavity detuning. We note that this phenomenon significantly limits the range of accessible detunings and thus may prevent instabilities predicted to occur above a minimum detuning from being evidenced experimentally. As a simple example among a number of instability mechanisms possibly affected by this limitation, we discuss the Hopf bifurcation leading to periodic behavior in the monomode mean-field model of a triply resonant OPO and show that it probably can be observed only in very specific setups.     

Quantum interferometry via a coherent state mixed with a squeezed number state

We theoretically investigate the phase sensitivity with parity measurement on a Mach–Zehnder interferometer with a coherent state combined with a squeezed number state. Within a constraint on the total mean photon number, we find, via parity measurement, that the mixing of a coherent state and squeezed number state can give better phase sensitivity than mixing a coherent state and squeezed vacuum state when the phase shift deviates from the optimal phase φ= 0. In addition,we show that the classical Fisher information for parity measurement saturates the quantum Fisher information when the phase shift approaches to zero. Thus, the quantum Crame′r–Rao bound can be reached via the parity measurement in the case of φ= 0.     

Direct sampling of negative quasiprobabilities of a squeezed state

Although squeezed states are nonclassical states, so far, their nonclassicality could not be demonstrated by negative quasiprobabilities. In this work we derive pattern functions for the direct experimental determination of so-called nonclassicality quasiprobabilities. The negativities of these quantities turn out to be necessary and sufficient for the nonclassicality of an arbitrary quantum state and are therefore suitable for a direct and general test of nonclassicality. We apply the method to a squeezed vacuum state of light that was generated by parametric down-conversion in a second-order nonlinear crystal.     

Quasiprobability distributions of a new kind 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.     

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 81]. 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 nonclassicality is displayed in terms of the intense oscillation of photon-number distribution and the negativity of the Wigner function.

Distribution of a modulated squeezed state over a lossy channel

The distribution of a modulated squeezed state over a quantum channel is the basis for quantum key distribution(QKD) with a squeezed state. In this Letter, a modulated squeezed state is distributed over a lossy channel. The Wigner function of the distributed state is measured to observe the evolution of the quantum state over a lossy channel, which shows that the squeezing level and the displacement amplitude of the quantum state are decreased along with the increase of the channel loss. We also measure the squeezing level in the frequency domain by the frequency shift technique. The squeezing of the modulated squeezed state at the modulation frequency is observed in this way. The presented results supply a reference for a QKD with a squeezed state.     

Generalized characteristic functions for a single-mode radiation field

We derive simple formulas for the higher-order moments of the quadrature operators operators of a two-field superposition by introducing a new generalized characteristic function depending on two complex variables. Using this formalism we investigate the preservation of higher-order squeezing during weak thermalization of an even coherent state.

Analytical investigation on interactions among squeezed vacuum and coherent state,coherent vacuum and squeezed state,and among phase squeezed and amplitude squeezed states of light

Squeezed state of light has drawn an enormous attention in information processing and digital communication since it has broken the quantum limit of noise. Here we have analytically investigated the interactions among coherent and vacuum squeezed states of light, interaction among coherent vacuum and squeezed states of light, and that between phase and amplitude squeezed states of light signals. Hence we established the nature of the resulting interaction with the help of photon statistics.     

Wave function for the squeezed atomic coherent state in entangledstate 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.     

Non-Gaussianity of photon-added-then-subtracted squeezed vacuum state

In this paper, the photon-added-then-subtracted squeezed vacuum state (PASSVS), a non-Gaussian state, is presented by adding then subtracting photon to a squeezed vacuum state. It is found that PASSVS is just a superposition state between S(r) | 0〉 and S(r) | 2〉, where S(r) is the single-mode squeezing operator with the squeezing parameter r. Its non-Gaussianity is exhibited via its Wigner function and the Hilbert–Schmidt distance. In addition, a possible scheme is presented to produce the PASSVS by virtue of the cavity QED.
