Multimode minimum uncertainty squeezed states

Gerard J Milburn

Published Mar 11, 1984• 102 citations
Publisher

Abstract

The concept of the single mode 'squeezed state', a minimum uncertainty state with reduced fluctuations in either of the two canonically conjugate variables, is generalised to an arbitrary number of modes. It is shown that the n-mode squeezed states are a subset of the generalised coherent states of Sp(2n:R).

Generalized multimode squeezed states

Chi‐Fai Lo, Roger Sollie

The notion of squeezing is generalized to the case of multimodes. The multimode generalized squeezing operator has similar algebraic properties to those of the single-mode case and reduces to the usual two-mode squeezing operator in the case of two modes. It is also shown that the generalized multimode squeezed state is a multimode minimum-uncertainty state if the squeezing parameters are real.

Correlations and squeezing of two-mode oscillations

ARTUR K. EKERT, P. L. Knight

In a squeezed state, the variance in one canonical variable may be suppressed below that normally associated with either the ground state or a coherent state, at the expense of an expansion in the variance of the conjugate variable. Squeezed states are usually discussed in the context of quantized light fields. The principal properties of squeezed states are demonstrated using the motion of quantum mechanical simple harmonic oscillators. The motion of a single oscillator is discussed to introduce the key concepts of squeezing, including quadrature operators, and the error contours of the Wigner function describing the quantum quasiprobability distributions in phase space of the oscillator motion. The main topic of two-mode squeezing is then addressed, in which the fluctuations in a system of two oscillators are tightly correlated. The existence of squeezing is demonstrated in normal mode coordinates representing motion of superpositions of the motion of the two oscillators. The fluctuations within a single oscillator are shown to increase when squeezing increases in the normal modes, generating thermal noise in individual mode subsystems.

General Multimode Squeezed States

Gan Qin, Wang, Ke-lin, Tong-Zhong Li

By the complex multimode Bogoliubov transformation, we obtain the general forms of squeeze operators and squeezed states including squeezed vacuum states, squeezed coherent states, squeezed Fock states and squeezed coherent Fock states, for a general multimode boson system. We decompose the squeezed operator into disentangling form in normal ordering to simplify the expressions of the squeezed states. We also calculate the statistical properties of the SS. Furthermore we prove that if it is non-degenerate, a Bogoliubov transformation matrix can be decomposed into three basic matrix, by which we can not only check the criterion of the minimum uncertainty state (MUS) found by Milburn, but also prove that except the special cases, any multimode squeezed state is MUS after the original creation and annihilation operators rotate properly. We also discuss some special cases of the three basic matrices. Finally we give an analytical results of a two-mode system as an example.

MINIMUM UNCERTAINTY SU(1,1) COHERENT STATES FOR NUMBER DIFFERENCE — TWO-MODE PHASE SQUEEZING

Hong-Yi Fan, Zhihu Sun

For the two-mode photon number-difference operator D = a†a -b†b and the Noh, Fougers and Mandel (NFM) operational phase operator [Formula: see text], we introduce the concept of number-difference-phase squeezing. We then find a new minimum-uncertainty state for number-difference-phase squeezing, which turns out to be a special combination of generalized SU(1,1) coherent state. As a by-product, a new orthonormal and complete representation in two-mode Fock space made up of R†n|m, m> is found.

Time Evolution of Stable Squeezed States

Xin Ma

It is shown using a straightforward approach that, for a single mode of an electromagnetic field, only quadratic Hamiltonians can preserve squeezed states for all time. The time-evolution equations for the parameters of a stable squeezed state are given for arbitrary quadratic Hamiltonians. It is also pointed out that there is no single Hamiltonian that preserves minimum uncertainty for all squeezed minimum-uncertainty states.

Quantum limits for minimum-uncertainty (MU) angular momentum polarization squeezed states

Y. Ben-Aryeh

It is shown that there are certain quantum limits to angular momentum minimum-uncertainty (MU) obtained by polarization squeezing Hamiltonians, beyond which the MU cannot be realized. The analysis is made for two cases: (a) when a strong coherent state is in one mode and a squeezed vacuum is in the other mode. (b) For the interference between two optical modes which are amplitude squeezed, with equal squeezing and intensities’ magnitudes.
