By introducing a generalization of the (p, q)-deformed boson oscillator algebra, we establish a two-parameter deformed oscillator algebra in an infinite-dimensional subspace of the Hilbert space of a harmonic oscillator without first finite Fock states. We construct the associated coherent states, which can be interpreted as photon-added deformed states. In addition to the mathematical characteristics, the quantum statistical properties of these states are discussed in detail analytically and numerically in the context of conventional as well as deformed quantum optics. Particularly, we find that for conventional (nondeformed) photons the states may be quadrature squeezed in both cases Q = pq < 1, Q = pq > 1 and their photon number statistics exhibits a transition from sub-Poissonian to super-Poissonian for Q < 1 whereas for Q > 1 they are always sub-Poissonian. On the other hand, for deformed photons, the states are sub-Poissonian for Q > 1 and no quadrature squeezing occurs while for Q < 1 they show super-Poissonian behavior and there is a simultaneous squeezing in both field quadratures.PACS Nos.: 42.50.Ar, 03.65.–w

An outstanding idea originally introduced by Greenberg is to investigate whether there is equivalence between intermediate statistics, which may be different from anyonic statistics, and q-deformed particle algebra. Also, a model to be studied for addressing such an idea could possibly provide us some new consequences about the interactions of particles as well as their internal structures. Motivated mainly by this idea, in this work, we consider a q-deformed Fermi gas model whose statistical properties enable us to effectively study interpolating statistics. Starting with a generalized Fermi-Dirac distribution function, we derive several thermostatistical functions of a gas of these deformed fermions in the thermodynamical limit. We study the high-temperature behavior of the system by analyzing the effects of q deformation on the most important thermostatistical characteristics of the system such as the entropy, specific heat, and equation of state. It is shown that such a deformed fermion model in two and three spatial dimensions exhibits the interpolating statistics in a specific interval of the model deformation parameter 0 < q < 1. In particular, for two and three spatial dimensions, it is found from the behavior of the third virial coefficient of the model that the deformation parameter q interpolates completely between attractive and repulsive systems, including the free boson and fermion cases. From the results obtained in this work, we conclude that such a model could provide much physical insight into some interacting theories of fermions, and could be useful to further study the particle systems with intermediate statistics.

We consider the large q limit of systems made of deformed Heisenberg operators. When the deformation parameter is infinite the Fock space and the statistical properties have a fermionic behaviour. We also investigate the ideal q-gas and find the virial expansion of its equation of state.
