Abstract

Based on the definition of coherent states for continuous spectra and analogous to photon added coherent states for discrete spectra, we introduce the excited coherent states for continuous spectra. It is shown that, the main axioms of Gazeau-Klauder coherent states will be satisfied, properly. Nonclassical properties and quantum statistics of coherent states, as well as the introduced excited coherent states are discussed. In particular, through the study of quadrature squeezing and amplitude squared squeezing, it will be observed that both classes of the above states can be classified in the intelligent states category.

Ladder operators and coherent states for continuous spectra

Joseph Ben Geloun, John R. Klauder

The notion of ladder operators is introduced for systems with continuous spectra. We identify two different kinds of annihilation operators allowing the definition of coherent states as modified 'eigenvectors' of these operators. Axioms of Gazeau–Klauder are maintained throughout the construction.

Single-mode nonlinear excited entangled coherent states and their nonclassical properties

Amir Karimi, Mohammad Kazem Tavassoly

In this paper, after a brief review of the single-mode excited entangled coherent states, two new classes of continuous-variable entangled pure states, namely, single-mode nonlinear excited entangled coherent states, have been produced by using the f -deformed creation operator instead of . In order to establish the nonclassicality of the states, some of the physical properties of the corresponding entangled states, such as entanglement degree, photon statistics, second-order correlation function and quadrature squeezing have been studied in detail by choosing a particular f -deformation function. In addition, the influence of photon excitations on the properties of our introduced states has been analyzed and the results compared with those of a single-mode excited entangled coherent state. In continuation, a theoretical scheme for their generation based on the interaction of a two-level atom with a quantized cavity field has been proposed.

Engineering nonclassical SU (1,1) coherent states of light by multiphoton excitation

Sunia Javed, Hadiah Bint Monir, Naila Amir +1 more

Abstract Quantum optical systems with nonclassical features play a vital role in the physical implementation of a large variety of quantum technologies, such as quantum metrology, quantum information processing, and quantum computation protocols, and hence are important to exploit the quantum advantage. In this work, we construct a general class of nonclassical coherent states (CSs) of light and present a scheme to enhance their nonclassicality by multiphoton excitation. In particular, using various optical realizations of s u ( 1 , 1 ) Lie algebra, we construct CSs of light following Barut-Girardello formalism and then perform the multiphoton discrete excitation on these continuous-variable optical CSs. We investigate the nonclassical features by analyzing the photon-counting probability distribution, Mandel Q − parameter, quadrature squeezing, and Wigner quasi-probability distribution. Our numerical results show that, for a particular set of parametric values, these multiphoton excited states exhibit sub-Poisson photon-counting statistics, quadrature squeezing, and negativity of Wigner distribution, which are indicators of nonclassicality. Moreover, it is shown that the nonclassical nature of these states gets enhanced as the photon-excitation number increases.

A class of nonlinear coherent states and some of their properties

A.‐S. F. Obada, Mahmoud Darwish

Nonclassical properties such as the autocorrelation function, quadrature and amplitude-squared squeezing, the phase properties in the Pegg–Barnett formalism, the Husimi–Kano Q function and the Wigner–Moyal ( W ) function of a wider class of nonlinear coherent states, are calculated and discussed in this paper.

Nonclassicalities of the Superposition State of Coherent and Photon-Added-Coherent State

Sandip Kumar Giri

The nonclassical properties of the hybrid coherent state (HCS), which is the superposition state of the coherent state and photon-added coherent (PAC) state, is investigated analytically. We evaluated the photon number statistics, the Wigner-Yanase skew information, the Mandel Q factor and the quadrature squeezing of the HCS to quantify its nonclassicality. This superposition state exhibits more nonclassical properties than the PAC state and even the superposition state of coherent state and single-photon-added coherent (SPAC) state. We reported that the addition of more photons to the PAC state part of the HCS generally quantifies more nonclassicalities. The nonclassical properties of the HCS also depend on the amplitudes of coherent state and the PAC state in the HCS.

Nonclassical features of entangled coherent states

Muhammad Ashfaq Ahmad, Syed Hamad Bukhari, Salman Naeem Khan +3 more

Nonclassical features of entangled coherent states (two-mode superposition coherent states) based on two coherent states shifted in phase by π/2 are discussed. Analysis of Cauchy–Schwartz inequality, two-mode quadrature squeezing, oscillatory and sub-Poissonian photon statistics show that nonclassicality exists for these states. Furthermore, it is also observed that special states have remarkably strong nonclassical properties than the entangled coherent states based on famous even–odd coherent states.
