Physical Review A

Violation of the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality and anticorrelation effect in second-harmonic generation

M. Kozierowski

Published Sep 1, 1987• 4 citations
Publisher

Abstract

Applying the perturbative method, it is shown that the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality is violated in the process of second-harmonic generation. Moreover, anticorrelation between the fundamental and harmonic modes takes place.

Colliding matter waves from a Bose-Einstein condensate violate a relation called the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, proving that such interactions must be considered quantum mechanically.

Nonclassical magnon pair generation and Cauchy-Schwarz inequality violation

Yaqi Fan, Jiahua Li, Ying Wu

We theoretically propose a magnon-based superconducting qubit hybrid system containing two ferromagnetic yttrium iron garnets (YIGs) and one superconducting qubit, demonstrating that this hybrid quantum system is feasible in achieving the unconventional two-mode magnon blockade and generating the quantum correlated magnon pairs. Through the virtual-photon excitation mediated by the same cavity mode, the effective couplings can be established not only between the Kittel modes and the qubit, but also between the two Kittel modes. We characterize the magnon blockade by utilizing the equal-time second-order correlation functions and impose a constraint on the correlations between the two Kittel modes by introducing the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality (CSI). In the weak qubit-magnon coupling regime, our results indicate the following: (i) Under the scenario of the resonance couplings, the ratio of driving strengths and the ratio of coupling strengths between the two Kittel modes and the cavity mode can be employed to control and regulate the magnon blockade and the violation of the CSI. Not only the two Kittel modes can achieve the unconventional magnon antibunching effects simultaneously, but also the correlations between them violate the classical CSI. It is important to note that when the degrees of both the antibunching effects for the two Kittel modes and the anticorrelation between them reach their highest levels simultaneously, the correlations happen not to violate the CSI. But our proposal offers a feasible route for preparing a high-quality single-magnon source. (ii) Under the scenario of the out-of-resonance couplings, by adjusting the frequency detunings between the first Kittel mode and the second Kittel mode as well as the qubit, the quantum correlated two-mode magnon pairs can be obtained. (iii) Finally, it is found that the magnon antibunching effect of the second Kittel mode is robust against the dissipation ratio between the two Kittel modes. These results illustrate how to optimally choose the parameters to realize nonclassical magnon pair generation and CSI violation. The hybrid YIG quantum system we propose here holds the potential in the development of efficient microwave single-magnon sources and quantum magnon-magnon pairs required in future quantum information processing tasks.

The failure of the modified Kronig-Kramers relations for second harmonic generation

GORDON J. TROUP

Second harmonic generation can take place via magnetic resonance under saturation conditions. The modification of the Kronig-Kramers relations which applies (to the fundamental) under saturation condition is shown strictly not to apply in the second harmonic case.

Quantum effects in second harmonic generation

B. Crosignani, Paolo Di Porto, S. Solimeno

A simple quantum-mechanical model shows a new qualitative feature of the process of second harmonic generation. This feature is the impossibility of complete depletion of the fundamental wave and is not present in the classical description.

Violations of Bell Inequality, Cauchy—Schwarz Inequality and Entanglement in a Two-Mode Three-Level Atomic System

Yunxia Ping, Lie Liu, Chaomin Zhang +1 more

Violations of Bell inequality, Cauchy—Schwarz inequality and entanglement in a two-mode three-level atomic system are investigated. It is shown that there are some states, which are entangled but do not violate Bell inequality in this system. Moreover, the relations of violations of Bell inequality, Cauchy—Schwarz inequality, and entanglement are discussed in detail.
