Abstract

In this paper, ordinary and amplitude-squared squeezing as well as Wigner functions of single-photon-added coherent state after postselected von Neumann measurements are investigated. The analytical results show that the weak measurement procedure, which is characterized by postselection and weak value, can significantly change the principal squeezing feature of the single-photon-added coherent state. From the analysis of the Winger function we notice that in the strong measurement regime significant interference structures manifest and the negative regions become larger than the initial pointer state. Our results indicate that after postselected von Neumann measurement the degree of nonclassicality of single-photon-added coherent state is increased. It is anticipated that this work may provide alternate and effective methods for solving the state optimization problems based on the single-photon-added coherent state pointer via a postselected von Neumann measurement technique.

Effects of postselected von Neumann measurement on the properties of single-mode radiation fields*

Yusuf Turek

Postselected von Neumann measurement characterized by postselection and weak value has been found to possess potential applications in quantum metrology and solved plenty of fundamental problems in quantum theory. As an application of this new measurement technique in quantum optics and quantum information processing, its effects on the features of single-mode radiation fields such as coherent state, squeezed vacuum state and Schrödinger cat sate are investigated by considering full-order effects of unitary evolution. The results show that the conditional probabilities of finding photons, second-order correlation functions, Qm -factors and squeezing effects of those states after the postselected measurement is significantly changed are comparable with the corresponding initial pointer states.

Enhancement of non-Gaussianity and nonclassicality of pair coherent states with a postselected von Neumann measurement

Yi-Fang Ren, Janarbek Yuanbek, Yusuf Turek

We investigate the effects of postselected von Neumann measurements on the nonclassical properties of pair coherent states (PCS). We calculated key quantum characteristics, such as squeezing, photon statistics, entanglement between the two modes of PCS, and teleportation fidelity. Our results demonstrate that postselected von Neumann measurements enhance both the non-Gaussianity and nonclassicality of PCS. These findings are validated by analyzing the scaled joint Wigner function across various system parameters. We also notice that in weak measurement regimes, the teleportation fidelity via a PCS-based quantum channel under postselected von Neumann measurements could maintain successful teleportation for anomalous weak values of the measured system observable. The theoretical optimization scheme offers an alternative approach for improving PCS-based quantum information efficiency and facilitates practical implementations in quantum technologies.

Enhancement of nonclassical properties of the two-mode squeezed vacuum state with a postselected von Neumann measurement

Janarbek Yuanbek, Yi-Fang Ren, Ahmad Abliz +1 more

We investigate the effects of weak value amplification on the nonclassical properties of the two-mode squeezed vacuum state. We calculate the quadrature squeezing and second-order cross-correlation functions to demonstrate the advantages of postselective weak measurement (WM). We also examine the entanglement between the two modes by evaluating various entanglement criteria, including the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality, Hillery-Zubairy correlation, and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations. Our results show that postselected von Neumann measurements significantly optimize the two-mode squeezed vacuum state. Notably, the amplification effect of weak values plays a critical role in this process. We demonstrated that in the WM regime, as the weak values increase, the nonclassical properties of the two-mode squeezed vacuum state such as entanglement and correlations between the two modes become more pronounced compared to the original state. We also propose possible implementation methods for our approach using trapped ion systems and optical platforms. Our enhanced two-mode squeezed vacuum state may have potential applications in quantum information processing scenarios, such as single-photon generation, advanced imaging techniques, quantum computation, and long-distance quantum communication.

Quantum Fisher Information of a Single-Photon Subtracted Squeezed Vacuum under Postselected von Neumann Measurement

Hunduz Halemjan, Chang Guohao, Shangyun Liu +3 more

Abstract This paper mainly focuses on the optimization of the quantum Fisher information (QFI) for a single-photon subtracted squeezed vacuum (SPSSV) state within the framework of postselected von Neumann measurements. By utilizing the polarization and spatial degrees of freedom of the single-photon subtracted squeezed vacuum state as the measured system and the probe, respectively, the manipulation of the QFI is achieved via the probe state under standard postselected von Neumann measurement. The results demonstrate that a large QFI can invariably be obtained through the combinatory effects of the interaction strength and squeezing parameter, which characterizes the non-classical properties of the SPSSV state. The weak value is found to be crucial in increasing the QFI under weak interaction strength. Our findings clarify the weak-value amplification (WVA) effect on the QFI, thereby revealing the advantage of non-Gaussian states in information acquisition under postselected measurement. Meanwhile, this paper also presents the corresponding implementation scheme for optical experiments.

Single-photon-added coherent state-based postselected weak measurement

Yi-Fang Ren, Yusuf Turek

We investigated precision measurements in a two-level system coupled to a single-photon-added coherent state (SPACS) under postselected weak measurement. We analyzed strategies for improving measurement precision, including parameter estimation and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in postselected weak measurements, using the photon statistics of SPACS as the meter. Our results demonstrate that SPACS-based postselected weak measurements can outperform conventional measurement schemes in terms of precision. Additionally, we explicitly introduced an alternative weak measurement method, which is commonly applied in dispersive light-atom interactions. Our work presents a novel approach to addressing fundamental issues in quantum precision measurement based on photon statistics, and it provides a method for extracting the photon and phase shifts of radiation fields through the weak values of system observables.
