We analyze the one-dimensional potential barrier scattering problem of two-mode squeezed vacuum state and entangled coherent state. We show that the entanglement of both the scattering states exhibits a parabolic relation with the transmission coefficient of the barrier, and valley of the parabola corresponds with a semi-anti-semi-permeable barrier. In addition, the entanglement of the former has a similar parabolic relation with the incident squeezed factor, and the entanglement of the latter has a linear relation with the incident entanglement. The fidelities of both the scattering states increase as the transmission coefficient increases, but the former decreases as the incident squeezed factor increases and the latter decreases as the incident module of coherent state increases.

A method to compute the scattering of two-partite continuous variable entangled state is proposed.The equivalence of one dimensional potential barrier and beam splitter is proven and the scattering of one dimensional potential barrier in two-mode squeezed vacuum state is studied.The results show that after the scattering of one dimensional potential barrier,the two-mode squeezed vacuum state will lose its entanglement,but it can keep a nonzero fidelity,and the fidelity will decrease as the squeezed factor increases.
Although the geometric phase for one-mode squeezed state had been studied in detail, the counterpart for two-mode squeezed state is vacant. In this paper, we aim at the special case, namely, two-mode squeezed vacuum state. Furthermore, the total phase factor is to be written in an elegant form, which is just identical to one term of product of two squeezed operators. In addition, when this system undergoes cyclic evolutions, the corresponding geometric phase is obtained, which is the sum of the counterparts of two isolated one-mode squeezed vacuum state. Finally, the relationship between the cyclic geometric phase and entanglement of two-mode squeezed vacuum state is established. Key words: Quantum optics, Geometric phases, Entanglement
Two-mode entangled-state wavefunctions and with complex variables z and y are introduced and investigated. They are direct analogues of the wavefunctions and in the single-mode case or are linearly related to each other by two-dimensional Fourier transformation. The states and are eigenstates of two pairs of commuting operators ( Z , Z † ) (or ( Q + , P − )) and ( Y , Y † ) (or ( P + , Q − )) to eigenvalues ( z , z * ) and ( y , y * ), respectively, and are normalized by means of the two-dimensional delta function. The entangled states and are represented as two limiting cases of two-mode squeezed coherent states. Different representations of these states, in particular, the analogue of the Agarwal–Simon representation of squeezed vacuum states, are derived and the properties of these states are discussed. The transition from the single-mode to the two-mode case is made using the common property of the squeezing operators to belong to different realizations of the abstract SU (1,1) group. The Wigner quasiprobability in representation of the states and is discussed and is explicitly calculated for two-mode squeezed vacuum (and squeezed coherent) states.
The quantum entanglement of two entangled atoms interacting with the squeezed coherent state is studied by means of full quantum theory. The influences of coherent amplitude factor, squeezing factor, ratio of two coupling coefficients on the entanglement property are discussed. The results show that two atoms entanglement evolution property is opposed to atom-field entanglement evolution property when the coherent amplitude factor was zero or small. The interaction of the atoms and field weakens the entanglement degree of atom-atom. With increasing coherent amplitude factor or decreasing squeezing factor of light, the time of two atoms staying in the steady entangled state becomes longer. The increase of the coherent amplitude factor or the decrease of squeezing factor of light lead to the increase of atom-atom entanglement degree while the decrease of atoms-field entanglement degree. Moreover, the two-atom quantum state stays in the maximum entangled state when the atomic dipole-dipole coupling coefficient is large enough.
Considering the propagation of a two-mode optical field that is initially in a squeezed vacuum state in a thermal environment, we obtain an intuitive expression for inseparability condition of the two-mode mixed state which is given in the coherent state representation. This condition shows that the two modes have quantum entanglement if and only if the coefficient of the correlation term between the two modes is larger than that of the off-diagonal term of each mode in the density matrix. We find that even if the quantum channel is dynamically coupled to the thermal environment, the fidelity for teleporting coherent states larger than 1/2 is still the criterion for quantum teleportation. We also show that the entanglement, squeezing and quantum teleportation conditions are always consistent with each other.
The quantum oscillator model plays a significant role in quantum optics and quantum information and has been one of the hot topics in related research fields. Inspired by the single-mode linear harmonic oscillator and the two-mode entangled state representation, we construct a two-mode coupled harmonic oscillator in this work. Different from the quantum transformation method used in previous literature, the entangled state representation is directly used in this work to solve its energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions easily. The energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of this two-mode coupled harmonic oscillator are continuous compared with those of the one-mode harmonic oscillator. Using the matrix theory of quantum operators, we derive the transformation and inverse transformation of the time evolution operator corresponding to the two-mode coupled harmonic oscillator. In addition, using the entangled state representation, the specific form of the time evolution of the two-mode vacuum state under the action of the oscillator is obtained. Through the analysis of quantum fidelity, it is found that the fidelity of the output quantum state decreases with the oscillator frequency increasing, and the fidelity eventually tends to zero with the increase of time. When analyzing the orthogonal squeezing properties of the output quantum state, this type of two-mode oscillator does not have the orthogonal squeezing effect, but it has a strong quantum dissipation effect instead. This conclusion is further verified by the quasi-probability distribution Q function of the quantum state phase space. Therefore, the two-mode coupled harmonic oscillator has a major reference value in quantum control such as quantum decoherence and quantum information transmission. Like the two-mode squeezed vacuum state, the photon distribution of the output quantum light field corresponding to the two-mode harmonic oscillator presents a super-Poisson distribution, and the photons exhibit a strong anti-bunching effect. Using the three-dimensional discrete plot of the photon number distribution, the super-Poisson distribution and quantum dissipation effect of the output quantum state are intuitively demonstrated. Finally, the SV, which is an entanglement criterion, is used to determine that the output quantum state has a high degree of entanglement. Further numerical analysis shows that the degree of entanglement increases with the action time and the oscillator frequency. In summary, the two-mode coupled harmonic oscillator constructed in this work can be used to prepare highly entangled quantum states through a complete quantum dissipation process. This provides theoretical support for experimental preparing quantum entangled states based on dissipative mechanisms.
