Some statistical properties of the even and the odd negative binomial states
Amitabh Joshi, A.‐S. F. Obada
New states of electromagnetic field, i.e. even and odd negative binomial states are introduced here. These states interpolate between the even (odd) coherent states and the even (odd) quasi-thermal states. Various statistical properties of these states such as the mean photon number, second-order coherence function, normal squeezing are calculated. The Wigner function for these states are also discussed. These results may be useful for carrying out systematic study of the non-classical properties of `Schrödinger cat states' as one moves from even (odd) coherent state to even (odd) quasi-thermal state.
