Quantum Statistics of Single-mode Processes Preserving Generalized Superposition of Coherent and Chaotic Fields

Abstract

A unified approach to the quantum statistics of single-mode linear processes described by the general Fokker-Planck equation and the generalized initial superposition of coherent and chaotic fields is developed to reveal the common traits in the mathematical models of several quantum optical systems. Processes such as the degenerate parametric amplification and the harmonic oscillator eventually coupled to the thermal or rigged reservoir are involved as special cases. A sufficient condition for the validity of the master equation is formulated as its being formally independent of possible reservoirs. The dependence of non-classical phenomena such as the sub-Poisson photon statistics and squeezing on the drift and diffusion coefficients is discussed.

Photon Statistics of Non-classical Fields

Vlasta Peřinová, J. Křepelka, Jan Peřina

The photon statistics of radiation of a damped harmonic oscillator with an initial squeezed state are investigated. It is shown that a generalized model of the superposition of coherent and chaotic fields involving possibly negative noise is appropriate in this case. The influence of quantum damping can easily be recognized in this process. A relationship between sub-Poissonian statistics and squeezing is thoroughly discussed. A degenerate parametric process is related to the investigated model.

Quantum statistics of nonclassical radiation in dissipative forward four-wave mixing. I. Method of generalized superposition of coherent and chaotic fields

Vlasta Peřinová, J. Křepelka

The Fokker-Planck equation approach to forward four-wave mixing developing from the initial coherent states is adopted to obtain a set of recursive relations for the expectation values of the normally ordered field operators. This set of equations is closed, in accordance with the model of the generalized superposition of coherent and chaotic fields, to provide differential equations for unknown quantities in this model. A numerical solution of these equations enables one to determine the photon number distribution, its factorial moments, squeezing variances, and entropy of radiation under discussion. Fully quantum-mechanical features of radiation such as its sub-Poisson behavior and squeezing of vacuum fluctuations are preserved in this approach. The validity of this approximation is discussed and numerical results are provided.

Squeezing and Sub-poisson Statistics in Three-mode Interactions

Jan Peřina, J. Bajer, J. Křepelka +1 more

A unique approach to the photon statistics in nonlinear optical interactions is suggested based on the use of moment equations and generalized superposition of coherent fields and quantum noise. Non-classical features such as squeezing of fluctuations and sub-Poisson statistics are derived for finite interaction times in the three-mode interaction process and limits of the model are provided.

Quantum Statistics of Quadratic Optical Parametric Processes with Intense Coherent or Stochastic Pumping: Equations of motion and their solutions

Vlasta Peřinová

A unified treatment of the description of the statistical dynamical properties of two-mode quadratic optical parametric processes with intense coherent or stochastic pumping (parametric amplification, frequency conversion, second subharmonic generation, etc. as special cases are involved) including the lossy mechanism is developed. The Heisenberg-Langevin equations are derived and their solutions are used to obtain the quantum characteristic functions and the corresponding quasidistributions. The Fokker-Planck equation approach is adopted as well and the equivalence of both the approaches is explicitly found.

A Solvable Model for Light Scattering in a Stationary Field

Jan Peřina, Vlasta Peřinová, J. Křepeika +3 more

The quantum statistical properties of independent light beams are considered, forming interference fringes, which are in interaction with a particle (electron) beam treated as a two-level system. Using the master equation and the generalized Fokker-Planck equation techniques, the photocount statistics are derived and it is demonstrated that the whole, initially coherent, radiation field remains coherent for all times while single modes exhibit two-peak bistable behaviour, varying their photon statistics from Poisson statistics to some intermediate statistics for coherent and chaotic radiation.

Quantum statistics of nonclassical radiation in dissipative forward four-wave mixing. II. Coupled third-order nonlinear dissipative oscillators

V. Peinová, M. Kárská

The statistical properties of nonlinear oscillators modeling dissipative forward four-wave mixing are investigated, adopting the Fokker-Planck equation approach. The photon statistics are shown to be insensitive to the nonlinearities and are formulated in terms of the superposition of coherent and chaotic fields. The only approximation in describing the squeezing properties consists in the way of including thermal noise. The effect of the initial coherent amplitudes, that of the interplay of the coupling constants, and that of the reservoir on the squeezing properties are studied. An interesting connection between the revivals of coherent amplitudes and squeezing is pointed out.
