Abstract

The quantum phase distributions and variances of strong coherent and phase-squeezed states mixed with thermal light are calculated. We find that the effect of thermal light on the coherent phase distribution becomes important only when the number of thermal photons is of order one-half. Its effect on the phase distribution of phase-squeezed states (for the case where the number of photons is very large compared to ${e}^{2r})$ becomes important when the number of thermal photons is of order $\frac{1}{2}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}2r}$, where $r$ is the squeezing parameter.

Quantum properties of two-mode squeezed thermalized states

Alemayehu Getahun Kumela, Mohammed Kelif

We have studied the statistical and squeezing properties of the Two-mode squeezed thermal light. We have calculated the mean of the photon number sum and difference, the variance of the photon number sum and difference, second order correlation function, the quadrature variance and quadrature squeezing, employing the Q function. We have found that the mean of the photon number sum for the two-mode squeezed thermal light is the sum of the means of the photon number sum of the separate modes and the photon statistic is super Poissonian. And the photon number of a two-mode squeezed thermal light is correlated and we have seen that the two-mode squeezed thermal light exhibiting the photon bunching effect. Moreover, the quadrature variance of the two-mode squeezed thermal light turns out to be the product of the quadrature variances of the two-mode thermal and two-mode squeezed vacuum states. The squeezing increase with increasing the squeeze parameter and with decreasing the mean photon number of thermal light.

Properties of squeezed number states and squeezed thermal states

M. S. Kim, F. A. M. de Oliveira, P. L. Knight

Much attention has been given in the past to two classes of squeezed states: the squeezed vacuum and coherent states. Here we study the effects of squeezing on number states and on thermal field states. The statistical properties of these various squeezed states are discussed using the second-order correlation functions. The quasiprobabilities of the Wigner, Q, and positive P representations are calculated and compared for the squeezed states. The Glauber P representation for the squeezed thermal state explicitly shows the limit of its applicability. The photon number distributions of the squeezed number and squeezed thermal states are extensively discussed and new interference effects in phase space are shown to lead to highly structured number distributions.

Characteristic function and quasi-probability distribution of photons and of squeezed coherent photons

Moorad Alexanian

We consider the p-ordered characteristic function and its Fourier transform, the quasidistribution function, of squeezed coherent photons in a thermal state of photons and calculate the mean number and number variance of squeezed coherent photons. All the properties calculated from the previous characteristic function can be used to calculate said properties for photons in a thermal state of squeezed coherent photons via a parametric transformation. In particular, one can obtain the mean number and number variance via the parametric transformation.

Photon-number distributions of non-Gaussian states generated by photon subtraction and addition

Shuai Wang, Hong-Yi Fan, Liyun Hu

We study the photon-number distributions (PND) of non-Gaussian states generated by subtracting m photons from or adding m photons to a displacement squeezed thermal state (DSTS). Compared with the PND of DSTS, PND of both m-photon-subtracted DSTS (PSDSTS) and m-photon-added DSTS (PADSTS) are modulated by a factor that is a monotonically increasing function of n, the photonnumber in the resulting non-Gaussian states. And the photon subtraction or addition essentially shifts the PND. We further demonstrate that both PND are periodic functions of the compound phase ϕ−θ/2 involved in complex squeezing and displacement parameters with a period πand exhibit more remarkable oscillations than that of DSTS. In the case of small squeezing and weak coherence, we investigate the negativity of Mandel’s Q parameter and the properties of PND of both PSDSTS and PADSTS. Our results indicate that generating new photon-number-controllable nonclassical states from a squeezed light with coherent component is effective by multiple-photon subtraction or addition when ϕ−θ/2=π/2.

Photon-subtracted squeezed coherent state: nonclassicality and decoherence in thermal environment

Zhen Wang, Xiang‐Guo Meng, Hong-Yi Fan

We introduce the photon-subtracted squeezed coherent state (PSSCS), which is theoretically constructed by repeatedly subtracting photons from the squeezed coherent state (SCS) with squeezing parameter r and displacement amplitude α=|α|eiφ. Employing the normal ordering form of density operator of the SCS, we study the nonclassicality of the PSSCS by analyzing Mandel’s Q-parameter, quadratures squeezing, photon-number distribution (PND), and Wigner function (WF). We find that the PND in a PSSCS is a periodic function of φ with a period π and exhibits more remarkable oscillations than that of a SCS in the case of strong squeezing. The partial negative region of the WF is sensitive to r and |α|. The fidelity between PSSCS and SCS is analyzed, which manifests that larger photon subtraction number may result in lower fidelity. By virtue of the thermal entangled state representation the decoherence of the PSSCS in thermal environment is studied through the time evolution of the WF. The negative volume of the WF gradually diminishes with the increase of evolution time and thermal photon number, respectively. The study of the PSSCS shows that generating new photon-number-controllable nonclassical states from a weak coherent light may be realized by subtracting suitable photons from a SCS.

The quantum phase distributions and variances of strong coherent and phase-squeezed states mixed with thermal light are calculated. We find that the effect of thermal light on the coherent phase distribution becomes important only when the number of thermal photons is of order one-half. Its effect on the phase distribution of phase-squeezed states (for the case where the number of photons is very large compared to e2r){e}^{2r})e2r) becomes important when the number of thermal photons is of order 12e\ensuremath−2r\frac{1}{2}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}2r}21​e\ensuremath−2r, where rrr is the squeezing parameter.
