Abstract

In the paper we developed a procedure for constructing generalized coherent states with shifted argument, as a result of the action of the generalized displacement operator. This was based on the action of a pair of nonlinear ladder operators, which generate nonlinear coherent states. To examine the properties of coherent states with shifted argument, the rules of the normal operator ordering technique (DOOT) were used. The results obtained were verified for a series of particular cases, obtaining expressions consistent with those in the literature. The expressions obtained will be, among others, useful in quantum optics, e.g. for calculating the Wigner operator in the representation of coherent states.

A century of coherent states

Dusan Popov

During the century of existence of the notion of coherent states, either linear or nonlinear, several schemes for their construction, theoretical or experimental, have been developed. Generally, the mathematical structure of coherent states depends on the choice of ladder operators, and consequently on the structure constants. In this paper, we propose a way to construct generalized coherent states for anharmonic oscillators that is based on a diagonal operator ordering technique (DOOT) applied to generalized hypergeometric functions, that is, on some of the most general special functions. These states are generated by the action of a pair of ladder operators, the creation and the annihilation, whose ordered normal product is equal to the dimensionless Hamiltonian of the quantum system. In addition, the action of these operators is easy to find if the expression for the dimensionless energy eigenvalues is known.

Some operatorial properties of the generalized hypergeometric coherent states

Dušan Popov, Miodrag Popov

The technique regarding the integration within a normally ordered product of operators, which refers to the creation and annihilation operators of the harmonic oscillator coherent states, has proved to be very fruitful for different operator identities and applications in quantum optics. In this paper we propose a generalization of this technique by introducing a new operatorial approach—the diagonal ordering operation technique (DOOT)—regarding the calculations connected with the normally ordered product of generalized creation and annihilation operators that generate the generalized hypergeometric coherent states. We have pointed out a number of properties of these coherent states, including the case of mixed (thermal) states. At the same time, by particularizing the obtained results to the one-dimensional harmonic and pseudoharmonic oscillators, we get the well-known results achieved through other methods in the corresponding coherent states representation.

An observation of quadratic algebra, dual family of nonlinear coherent states and their non-classical properties, in the generalized isotonic oscillator

V. Chithiika Ruby, Murugaian Senthilvelan

In this paper, we construct nonlinear coherent states for the generalized isotonic oscillator and study their non-classical properties in detail. By transforming the deformed ladder operators suitably, which generate the quadratic algebra, we obtain Heisenberg algebra. From the algebra, we define two non-unitary and one unitary displacement type operators. While the action of one of the non-unitary type operators reproduces the original nonlinear coherent states, the other one fails to produce a new set of nonlinear coherent states (dual pair). We show that these dual states are not normalizable. For the nonlinear coherent states, we evaluate the parameter A3 and examine the non-classical nature of the states through quadratic and amplitude-squared squeezing effect. Further, we derive analytical formula for the P-function, Q-function, and the Wigner function for the nonlinear coherent states. All of them confirm the non-classicality of the nonlinear coherent states. In addition to the above, we obtain the harmonic oscillator type coherent states from the unitary displacement operator.

The construction of some important classes of generalized coherent states: the nonlinear coherent states method

R. Roknizadeh, Mohammad Kazem Tavassoly

Considering some important classes of generalized coherent states known in literature, we demonstrated that all of them can be created via conventional fashion, i.e. the "lowering operator eigen-state" and the "displacement operator" techniques using the {\it "nonlinear coherent states"} approach. As a result we obtained a {\it "unified method"} to construct a large class of coherent states which already have been introduced by different prescriptions.

Ladder operators and coherent states for nonlinear potentials

R. Román-Ancheyta, O de los Santos-Sánchez, J. Récamier

In this work we make use of deformed operators to construct the coherent states of some nonlinear systems by generalization of two definitions: i) As eigenstates of a deformed annihilation operator and ii) by application of a deformed displacement operator to the vacuum state. We also construct the coherent states for the same systems using the ladder operators obtained by traditional methods with the knowledge of the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the corresponding Schrödinger equation. We show that both methods yield coherent states with identical algebraic structure.

Nonlinear coherent state representation and related generalized Wigner function

Hong-Yi Fan, Hailing Cheng

The generalized Wigner operator and Wigner distribution function in phase space corresponding to the field-intensity-dependent operators is constructed in the nonlinear coherent state representation. The generalized Wigner theorem is also derived. The whole discussion is based on the technique of integration within an ordered product of the field-intensity-dependent operators.
