Abstract

For optical Raman coherent effect we introduce the atomic coherent state (or the angular momentum coherent state with various angular momemtum values) in Schwinger bosonic realization, they are the eigenvectors of the Hamiltonian describing the Raman effect. Similar to the fact that the photon coherent state describes laser light, the atomic coherent state is related to Raman process.

Nonclassicality of photon-modulated atomic coherent states in the Schwinger bosonic realization*

Ji‐Suo Wang, Xiang‐Guo Meng, Xiaoyan Zhang

We theoretically introduce two new photon-modulated atomic coherent states (ACSs) via using the Schwinger bosonic representation of the angular momentum operators (the sequential operations J ± n ) on an ACS, and investigate their nonclassicality using the Wigner distribution, photon number distribution, and entanglement entropy. It is found that photon-modulated ACSs possess more stronger nonclassicality than the original ACS in certain regions of τ, the nonclassicality enhances with increasing number n of the operations J ± and the operation J + ( − ) n enhances the entanglement in the region of small (large) τ.

Phase Operators for Atomic System in Schwinger Boson Representation and their Properties

Fan Hong-Yi, Li Yong-ping

In terms of the Schwinger boson representation of angular momentum We introduce suitable phase operators which exhibit similar properties to those of the phase operators in radiation field into atomic system. With the help of them angular momentum's third component phase uncertainty relation are discussed. Also, the eigenstates of the Hermitian phase operator are derived.

Atomic coherent states as energy eigenstates of a Hamiltonian describing a two-dimensional anisotropic harmonic potential in a uniform magnetic field

Xiang-Guo Meng, Ji‐Suo Wang, Bao‐Long Liang

In this paper we find that a set of energy eigenstates of a two-dimensional anisotropic harmonic potential in a uniform magnetic field is classified as the atomic coherent states |τ〉 in terms of the spin values of j in the Schwinger bosonic realization. The correctness of the above conclusions can be verified by virtue of the entangled state 〈η| representation of the state |τ〉.

Angular momentum coherent states

P. W. Atkins, J. C. Dobson

Abstract The work of Carruthers & Nieto on the harmonic oscillator coherent states is combined with Schwinger’s construction of angular momentum to produce the angular momentum coherent states. It is shown that these states become the vector representatives of angular momentum in the classical limit, and so are particularly useful for discussing the transition from quantum to classical angular momentum. The uncertainty relations for angle and angular momentum are described and are compatible with the classical limit. Under rotations the coherent states transform in a manner that in the classical limit is equivalent to the transformation of vectors, and in the same limit the root mean square variation of the expectation values of the components of angular momentum become negligible in comparison with the expectation values themselves. The coupling of two angular momenta in the classical limit is investigated: it is shown that although the product of two coherent states is not itself a coherent state, it does represent a packet similar to a true coherent state, and centred on the direction of the classical resultant of the two component vectors. The properties and implications of hyperbolic angular momentum space are discussed.

New Approach to the Study of Atomic Coherent State

Fan Hong‐Yi

On the basis of the technique of performing integration within ordered product proposed in our previous paper [1] and Schwinger boson representation for angular momentum, we derive new normal product forms for coset element of group and their product as well as some new operator identities which are useful in studying atomic coherent state. This new formulation provides the possibility of making use of the Glauber coherent state to find new properties of atomic system.

Atom lasers, coherent states, and coherence. I. Physically realizable ensembles of pure states

Howard M. Wiseman, John A. Vaccaro

A laser, be it an optical laser or an atom laser, is an open quantum system that produces a coherent beam of bosons (photons or atoms, respectively). Far above threshold, the stationary state ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{\mathrm{ss}}$ of the laser mode is a mixture of coherent-field states with random phase, or, equivalently, a Poissonian mixture of number states. This paper answers the question: can descriptions such as these, of ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{\mathrm{ss}}$ as a stationary ensemble of pure states, be physically realized? Here physical realization is as defined previously by us [H. M. Wiseman and J. A. Vaccaro, Phys. Lett. A 250, 241 (1998)]: an ensemble of pure states for a particular system can be physically realized if, without changing the dynamics of the system, an experimenter can (in principle) know at any time that the system is in one of the pure-state members of the ensemble. Such knowledge can be obtained by monitoring the baths to which the system is coupled, provided that coupling is describable by a Markovian master equation. Using a family of master equations for the (atom) laser, we solve for the physically realizable (PR) ensembles. We find that for any finite self-energy $\ensuremath{\chi}$ of the bosons in the laser mode, the coherent-state ensemble is not PR; the closest one can come to it is an ensemble of squeezed states. This is particularly relevant for atom lasers, where the self-energy arising from elastic collisions is expected to be large. By contrast, the number-state ensemble is always PR. As the self-energy $\ensuremath{\chi}$ increases, the states in the PR ensemble closest to the coherent-state ensemble become increasingly squeezed. Nevertheless, there are values of $\ensuremath{\chi}$ for which states with well-defined coherent amplitudes are PR, even though the atom laser is not coherent (in the sense of having a Bose-degenerate output). We discuss the physical significance of this anomaly in terms of conditional coherence (and hence conditional Bose degeneracy).
