Generation and Properties of Two-Mode Circular States
Zhang Ke-Fu, Zhongjie Wang
Abstract
Two-mode circular states, which are superposition states from some two-mode coherent states, are studied theoretically. It is shown that under certain conditions two-mode circular states may exhibit nonclassical effects, such as sub-Poissonian statistics and intermode correlation. We propose schemes to generate two-mode circular states by the interaction of a trapped ion with traveling wave lasers.
