Abstract

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, and entanglement between the two PCS modes. 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. The theoretical optimization scheme offers an alternative approach for improving PCS-based quantum information efficiency and facilitates practical implementations in quantum technologies.

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

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.

Reshaping nonclassical properties and metrological performance of entangled coherent states via post-selected von Neumann measurements

Janarbek Yuanbek, Bruno Tenorio, Yusuf Turek

In quantum metrology, measurements are usually treated as passive readout processes. Here we investigate whether post-selected von Neumann measurements (PVNMs) can be used as an active resource to reshape the nonclassical properties of a two-mode entangled coherent state (ECS). By analyzing the finite-coupling post-selected state, we show that PVNMs can enhance quadrature squeezing and sum squeezing, increase the Wigner-function negativity, and strengthen bipartite correlations, as witnessed by the Hillery-Zubairy criterion and linear entropy. We further evaluate the quantum Fisher information and the corresponding quantum Cramér-Rao bound for phase estimation, and discuss the trade-off between metrological gain and measurement-induced disturbance through the fidelity. Our scheme exhibits a phase-sensitivity advantage over standard ECS metrology for large average photon numbers. Our results suggest that PVNMs provide a tunable route for engineering nonclassical resources in continuous-variable sensing protocols.

Studying the squeezing effect and phase-space distribution of a single-photon-added coherent state using a postselected von Neumann measurement

Wen Jun Xu, Taximaiti Yusufu, Yusuf Turek

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.

Harnessing Post-selected von Neumann Measurements to Strengthen Entanglement and Quantum Signatures in Coherent States

Janarbek Yuanbek, Zelalem Abebe Bekele, Zhi-qiang Liu

We investigate how post-selected von Neumann measurements modify the nonclassical properties of two-mode entangled coherent states (ECSs). From the conditional pointer state, we characterize squeezing, photon statistics, intermode correlations, entanglement, fidelity, and post-selection probability. Anomalous weak values with moderate coupling enhance squeezing, antibunching, sub-Poissonian statistics, intermode correlations, and bipartite entanglement, while fidelity captures the crossover from weak perturbation to strong distinguishability. These results demonstrate post-selection as a tunable approach to engineering ECSs.

Enhancement of non-Gaussianity and nonclassicality of pair coherent states by superposition of photon addition and subtraction

Ho Sy Chuong, Truong Minh Duc

Abstract Pair coherent states (PCSs) as a kind of two-mode non-Gaussian and nonclassical states were introduced and studied. Some nonclassical characteristics of them such as two-mode sum-squeezing, two-mode antibunching, and entanglement have been well investigated. In this paper, we focus on studying the superposition of photon addition and subtraction to the PCSs called superposition of photon-added and photon-subtracted pair coherent states (SPAPSPCSs). Our main purpose is to show that the non-Gaussian feature and all the above-mentioned nonclassical properties of the SPAPSPCSs can be enhanced compared with the photon-added-and-subtracted two modes pair coherent states (PAASTMPCSs) and the original PCSs. In general, we demonstrate that the SPAPSPCSs have more enhanced non-Gaussian character and nonclassical properties than the PCSs and the PAASTMPCSs by examining the negativity of the Wigner function. Specifically, we indicate that both the SPAPSPCSs and the PAASTMPCSs can exist in two-mode sum-squeezing while the original PCSs (without photon-addition and photon-subtraction) cannot, and the degree of squeezing is stronger in the SPAPSPCSs than in the PAASTMPCSs. The obtained results also indicate that the superposition of photon addition and subtraction of the SPAPSPCSs plays a vital role in enhancing the two-mode antibunching property and the entanglement degree compared with the PCSs and the PAASTMPCSs.
