Two new types of quantum states generated via higher powers of Bogoliubov’s transformation

Abstract
By applying higher powers of Bogoliubov’s transformation operator b†=ν*a+μ*a† to the even and odd coherent states we construct mathematically two new types of quantum states. Various special functions and mathematical formulations are used to obtain the matrix elements for the states in the coherent state representation. The nonclassical nature of these states is found to be related to their quantum coherence in phase space. The interference effects can also be regarded as a consequence of the oscillatory behavior of the special functions in the structure of the states.
