A theoretical study of nonclassical effects in optical and spin systems and their applications

Kishore Thapliyal

Nonclassical states, having no classical analogue, promise advantage in the performance in several fields of technology, such as computation, communication, sensing. This led to an escalated interest in the recent years for the generation and characterization of nonclassical states in various physical systems of interest. Keeping this in mind, we examined generation of various lower- and higher-order nonclassical states in both codirectional and contradirectional asymmetric nonlinear optical couplers operating under second harmonic generation with the help of moments-based criteria. Using another such system (a symmetric nonlinear optical coupler), we have also established the possibility of observing quantum Zeno and anti-Zeno effects and further reduced the obtained results to yield the corresponding expressions for the asymmetric coupler. These studies have been accomplished using a complete quantum description of the system considering all the field modes as weak. Further, characterization of nonclassicality in spin systems using quasiprobability distributions has been performed, which has also provided us the dynamics of the amount of nonclassicality (using nonclassical volume). As the reconstruction of quasiprobability distributions is possible with the help of tomograms accessible in the experiments, tomograms are computed here for both finite and infinite dimensional systems. Finally, a set of controlled quantum communication (both insecure and secure) schemes with minimum number of entangled qubits has been proposed, which is also analyzed over Markovian channels. The optimized controlled secure quantum communication scheme is observed to be reducible to several cryptographic tasks. Using this interesting observation, we obtained the performance of a set of cryptographic schemes over non-Markovian channels, too.

Pauli equation for joint tomographic probability distribution of spin 1/2 particle

Ya. A. Korennoy, Vladimir I. Man’ko

The positive vector optical tomogram fully describing the quantum state of spin 1/2 particle without any redundancy is introduced. Reciprocally the vector symplectic tomogram and vector quasidistributions $\vec W({\mathbf q},{\mathbf p})$, $\vec Q({\mathbf q},{\mathbf p})$, $\vec P(\vecα)$ are introduced. The evolution equations for proposed vector optical and symplectic tomograms and vector quasidistributions for arbitrary Hamiltonian are obtained. The quantum system of charged spin 1/2 particle in arbitrary electro-magnetic field is considered in proposed representations and evolution equations which are analogs of Pauli equation are obtained. The propagator of evolution equation in the case of homogeneous and stationary magnetic field in Landau gauge is found and the evolution of initial entangled superposition of lower Landau levels in the vector optical representation is considered. The system of linear quantum oscillator with spin in vector optical tomography representation is considered and the evolution of initial entangled superposition of two lower Fock states and spin-up, spin-down states is studied in this representation.

From free-evolution to tomographic representation

Sergio Cordero, Ramón López–Peña, Eduardo Nahmad-Achar +3 more

We use the free evolution propagator to determine the quantum probability representation (i.e., the general expression of the tomogram) of any one-dimensional system described by a density state. The evolution operator for the considered quantum system is additionally used to establish the corresponding time dependent tomogram. Applications are given for a Gaussian wave packet, the quantum shutter related with the phenomenon of diffraction in time, the double quantum shutter, and a finite potential. A generalisation to describe $N$ particle systems is also presented and, in particular, we find the tomogram associated to the 2 particle case occupying in general non-orthogonal states. In the latter case, for a bipartite quantum system, the entanglement properties are established by considering quantum information concepts such as the linear entropy.
