Abstract

Enlightened by the algorithmic isomorphism between the rotation of the Wigner distribution function (WDF) and the αth fractional Fourier transform, we show that the optical Fresnel transform performed on the input through an ABCD system makes the output naturally adapting to the associated Wigner transform, i.e. there exists algorithmic isomorphism between ABCD transformation of the WDF and the optical Fresnel transform. We prove this adaption in the context of operator language. Both the single-mode and the two-mode Fresnel operators as the image of classical Fresnel transform are introduced in our discussions, while the two-mode Wigner operator in the entangled state representation is introduced for fitting the two-mode Fresnel operator.

Correspondence between quantum-optical transform and classical-optical transform explored by developing Dirac’s symbolic method

Hong-Yi Fan, Liyun Hu

By virtue of the new technique of performing integration over Dirac’s ket-bra operators, we explore quantum optical version of classical optical transformations such as optical Fresnel transform, Hankel transform, fractional Fourier transform, Wigner transform, wavelet transform and Fresnel-Hadmard combinatorial transform etc. In this way one may gain benefit for developing classical optics theory from the research in quantum optics, or vice-versa. We cannot only find some new quantum mechanical unitary operators which correspond to the known optical transformations, deriving a new theorem for calculating quantum tomogram of density operators, but also can reveal some new classical optical transformations. For examples, we find the generalized Fresnel operator (GFO) to correspond to the generalized Fresnel transform (GFT) in classical optics. We derive GFO’s normal product form and its canonical coherent state representation and find that GFO is the loyal representation of symplectic group multiplication rule. We show that GFT is just the transformation matrix element of GFO in the coordinate representation such that two successive GFTs is still a GFT. The ABCD rule of the Gaussian beam propagation is directly demonstrated in the context of quantum optics. Especially, the introduction of quantum mechanical entangled state representations opens up a new area in finding new classical optical transformations. The complex wavelet transform and the condition of mother wavelet are studied in the context of quantum optics too. Throughout our discussions, the coherent state, the entangled state representation of the two-mode squeezing operators and the technique of integration within an ordered product (IWOP) of operators are fully used. All these have confirmed Dirac’s assertion: “...for a quantum dynamic system that has a classical analogue, unitary transformation in the quantum theory is the analogue of contact transformation in the classical theory”.

New decomposition of the Fresnel operator corresponding to the optical transformation inABCD-systems

Jian-ming Du, Hong-Yi Fan

By virtue of the coherent state representation of the newly introduced Fresnel operator and its group product property, we obtain new decomposition of the Fresnel operator as the product of the quadratic phase operator, the squeezing operator, and the fractional Fourier transformation operator, which in turn sheds light on the matrix optics design of ABCD -systems. The new decomposition for the two-mode Fresnel operator is also obtained by the use of entangled state representation.

Fresnel-Transform's Quantum Correspondence and Quantum Optical ABCD Law

Fan Hong-Yi, Liyun Hu

Corresponding to the Fresnel transform there exists a unitary operator in quantum optics theory, which could be known the Fresnel operator (FO). We show that the multiplication rule of the FO naturally leads to the quantum optical ABCD law. The canonical operator methods as mapping of ray-transfer ABCD matrix is explicitly shown by the normally ordered expansion of the FO through the coherent state representation and the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators. We show that time evolution of the damping oscillator embodies the quantum optical ABCD law.

Relation between optical Fresnel transformation and quantum tomography in two-mode entangled case

Hong-Yi Fan, Liyun Hu

Similar in spirit to the preceding work 9 Fan, H-Y and Hu, L-Y. 2009. Opt. Commun., 282: 3734–3736. [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar], where the relation between optical Fresnel transformation and quantum tomography is revealed, we explore this kind of relationship in a two-mode entangled case. We show that under the two-mode Fresnel transformation the entangled state density becomes density operator , which is just the Radon transform of the two-mode Wigner operator in entangled form, i.e. where F 2 is a two-mode Fresnel operator in quantum optics, and s , r are the complex-value expressions of (A,B,C,D). So the probability distribution is the tomography (Radon transform of the two-mode Wigner function), and gives a tomogram. Similarly, we find where is the conjugated state to .
