Effects of squeezing on quantum nonlocality of superpositions of coherent states

Abstract

We analyze effects of squeezing upon superpositions of coherent states (SCSs) and entangled coherent states for Bell-inequality tests. We find that external squeezing can always increase the degrees of Bell violations, if the squeezing direction is properly chosen, for the case of photon parity measurements. On the other hand, when photon on/off measurements are used, the squeezing operation can enhance the degree of Bell violations only for moderate values of amplitudes and squeezing. We point out that a significant improvement is required over currently available squeezed SCSs in order to directly demonstrate a Bell-inequality violation in a real experiment.

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

Benyuan Zhou, Lei Deng, Yong-Fa Duan +2 more

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.

Enhanced Bell violation by a coherent superposition of photon subtraction and addition

Jiyong Park, Su-Yong Lee, Hai-Woong Lee +1 more

We show that the coherent superposition ta^+ra^† of photon subtraction and addition applied to each local mode of a two-mode entangled state can enhance the nonlocality manifested by the violation of a Bell inequality. A two-mode squeezed state is used as an input state for this demonstration with four different Bell inequalities employed: Bell inequalities adopting displaced parity operator, pseudospin operator, homodyne measurement, and conditional entropy, respectively. We find that the coherent operation significantly enhances the nonlocality remarkably in the weak squeezing limit, compared with other possible non-Gaussian operations. It can also give a maximal Bell violation with a very small squeezing for the inequalities with pseudospin operator and conditional entropy.

Role of externally induced coherent superposition in demonstrating quantum nonlocality in a correlated emission laser

Sintayehu Tesfa

Analysis of the effects of external pumping on the quantum features, including entanglement, quantum nonlocality and nonclassical photon number correlations, of the cavity radiation of a correlated emission laser is presented. It turns out that the contribution of externally induced coherent superposition in demonstrating quantum nonlocality is significant. Despite the available evidence that entangled states can exhibit nonlocality for certain values of the rate at which the atoms are injected into the cavity and amplitude of the driving radiation, a direct relation between the degree of entanglement and quantum nonlocality cannot be established. However, it seems likely to make a consistent connection between the Cauchy–Schwarz and Bell–Clauser–Horne–Shimony–Holt inequalities. It is evident that comparison among various nonclassical correlations enhances the understanding of the otherwise intricate quantum theoretical predictions.

Quantum entanglement and quantum nonlocality for N -photon entangled states

Sun Yan-Hua, Kuang Le-Man

Quantum entanglement and quantum nonlocality of N -photon entangled states |ψ Nm ⟩ = C m [cos γ| N − m ⟩ 1 | m ⟩ 2 +e iθ m sin γ| m ⟩ 1 | N − m ⟩ 2 ] and their superpositions are studied. We point out that the relative phase θ m affects the quantum nonlocality but not the quantum entanglement for the state |ψ Nm ⟩. We show that quantum nonlocality can be controlled and manipulated by adjusting the state parameters of |ψ Nm ⟩, superposition coefficients and the azimuthal angles of the Bell operator. We also show that the violation of the Bell inequality can reach its maximal value under certain conditions. It is found that quantum superpositions based on |ψ Nm ⟩ can increase the amount of entanglement and give more ways to reach the maximal violation of the Bell inequality.

Bell-inequality tests with entanglement between an atom and a coherent state in a cavity

Jinwoo Park, Mark Saunders, Yong-il Shin +2 more

We study Bell-inequality tests with entanglement between a coherent-state field in a cavity and a two-level atom. In order to detect the cavity field for such a test, photon on-off measurements and photon number parity measurements, respectively, are investigated. When photon on-off measurements are used, at least 50$%$ of detection efficiency is required to demonstrate violation of the Bell inequality. Photon number parity measurements for the cavity field can be effectively performed using ancillary atoms and an atomic detector, which leads to large degrees of Bell violations up to Cirel'son's bound. We also analyze decoherence effects in both field and atomic modes and discuss conditions required to perform a Bell inequality test free from the locality loophole.
