Photon-added and photon-subtracted displaced Fock states and their non-classical properties

Si Kun, Miao Zhang, Jia Huan-Yu

Abstract

A new kind of quantum optical state, photon-added and -subtracted displaced Fock states, is introduced by applying the inverse of bosonic creation and annihilation operators to displaced Fock states. The quantum statistical properties of these states are investigated by numerical methods. Numerical results indicate that these states reveal some interesting non-classical properties, such as anti-bunching effects, sub-Poisson distributions and negativities of their Wigner functions.

Nonclassicality of photon-added squeezed vacuum states

Si Kun, Ji Xiao-Hui, Jia Huan-Yu

By applying the bosonic creation operator to squeezed vacuum states, this paper introduces a new kind of quantum states: photon-added squeezed vacuum states. It also presents an experimental approach to prepare these states, and investigates their quantum statistical properties by the numerical method. The results indicate that these states reveal some interesting non-classical properties, such as anti-bunching effects, squeezing effects and negativities of the relevant Wigner functions.

Lower‐ and Higher‐Order Nonclassical Properties of Photon Added and Subtracted Displaced Fock States

Priya Malpani, Nasir Alam, Kishore Thapliyal +3 more

Abstract Nonclassical properties of photon added and subtracted displaced Fock states are studied using various witnesses of lower‐ and higher‐order nonclassicality. Compact analytic expressions are obtained for the nonclassicality witnesses. Using those expressions, it is established that these states and the states that can be obtained as their limiting cases (except coherent states) are highly nonclassical as they show the existence of lower‐ and higher‐order antibunching and sub‐Poissonian photon statistics, in addition to the nonclassical features revealed through the Mandel parameter, zeros of Q function, Klyshko's criterion, and Agarwal–Tara criterion. Further, some comparison between the nonclassicality of photon added and subtracted displaced Fock states have been performed using witnesses of nonclassicality. This has established that between the two types of non‐Gaussianity inducing operations (i.e., photon addition and subtraction) used here, photon addition influences the nonclassical properties more strongly. Further, optical designs for the generation of photon added and subtracted displaced Fock states from squeezed vacuum state have also been proposed.

Non‐Gaussian and Nonclassical Properties of Superpositions of Photon‐Added and Photon‐Subtracted Displaced Fock States

Ho Sy Chuong, Phan Ngoc Duy Tinh, Nguyen Minh Xuan +1 more

ABSTRACT In this paper, we study new non‐Gaussian states known as superpositions of photon‐added and photon‐subtracted displaced Fock states (SPA‐PS‐DFSs). We express the SPA‐PS‐DFSs in terms of displaced Fock states (DFSs) and investigate their Wigner function and nonclassical properties. The obtained results of the Wigner function show that the superposition of photon addition and subtraction can enhance the non‐Gaussian and nonclassical properties of the SPA‐PS‐DFSs. Furthermore, the SPA‐PS‐DFSs exhibit nonclassical features, including higher‐order squeezing and higher‐order antibunching. Notably, these nonclassical characteristics are more enhanced than those of previous states generated solely by adding or subtracting photons to DFSs without superposition. These findings underscore the effectiveness of the superposition technique in enhancing the non‐Gaussian and nonclassical properties of the states.

Wigner Functions of Photon-added and-subtracted Squeezed Vacuum States and Their Non-classical Properties

Hou Bang-pin

Based on the expressions of Wigner functions in Fock-spaces,we reconstruct the Wigner functions of photon-added and-subtracted states of squeezed vacuum states.Negativities of these Wigner functions numerically indicate that these states are really non-classical quantum states.We also discuss how these negativities depend on the photon number k added to and subtraced from the squeezed vacuum states.The negativities are greater when k is odd numbers than those when k is even numbers.The result provides a theoretical foundation for measuring these states.

Nonclassicality versus quantum non-Gaussianity of photon-subtracted displaced Fock state

Deepak Deepak, Arpita Chatterjee

In this paper, a quantitative investigation of the non-classical and quantum non-Gaussian characters of the photon-subtracted displaced Fock state [Formula: see text], where k is the number of photons subtracted and n is Fock parameter, is performed by using a collection of measures like Wigner logarithmic negativity, linear entropy potential, skew information-based measure, and relative entropy of quantum non-Gaussianity. It is noticed that the number of photons subtracted ( k) changes the nonclassicality and quantum non-Gaussianity in a significant amount in the regime of small values of the displacement parameter, whereas the Fock parameter ( n) presents a notable change in the large regime of the displacement parameter. In this respect, the role of the Fock parameter is found to be stronger as compared to the photon subtraction number. Finally, the Wigner function dynamics considering the effects of photon loss channel is used to show that the Wigner negativity can only be detected by highly efficient detectors.

Generalized Photon Added and Subtracted f ‐Deformed Displaced Fock States

Mohammad Javad Faghihi

Abstract In this paper, by making use of the nonlinear coherent states approach, the generalized photon added and subtracted f ‐deformed displaced Fock states are introduced. In other words, a natural link between photon added and subtracted displaced Fock states and nonlinear coherent states associated with nonlinear oscillator algebra is obtained. It is found that various kinds of nonclassical states can be generated by adopting appropriately controlling parameters in both linear and nonlinear regimes. Moreover, examining some of the most nonclassical properties such as Mandel's Q parameter, different types of squeezing, namely, quadrature, amplitude–squared and phase entropic squeezing, and Vogel's characteristic function, the nonclassicality features of the considered quantum states of interest are studied. Furthermore, to obtain the degree of quantum coherence, the relative entropy of coherence is investigated. Indeed, the nonclassicality aspects of the states obtained have been numerically studied to understand the roles of deformation functions, photons added and subtracted, and photon number occupied in the Fock state on physical properties. It is demonstrated that the depth and the domain of the nonclassicality features of the system can properly be controlled by selecting the suitable parameters.
