Physical Review A

Origin of oscillations in photon distributions of squeezed states

Jan Peina, J. Bajer

Published Jan 1, 1990• 22 citations
Publisher

Abstract

Oscillations in the photon distribution of squeezed states are explained based on the interpretation of the generating function in terms of the generalized superposition of coherent fields and quantum noise.

The origin of non-classical effects in a one-dimensional superposition of coherent states

Vladimír Bužek, P. L. Knight, A. Vidiella-Barranco

We investigate the nature of the quantum fluctuations in a light field created by the superposition of coherent fields. We give a physical explanation (in terms of Wigner functions and phase-space interference) why the 1-D superposition of coherent states in the direction of the x-quadrature leads to the squeezing of fluctuations in the y-direction, and show that such a superposition can generate the squeezed vacuum and squeezed coherent states.

Photon-counting distribution in squeezed states

Apostol Vourdas, Richard M. Weiner

We calculate the counting (multiplicity) distribution ${P}_{N}=〈N|\ensuremath{\rho}|N〉$ where $\ensuremath{\rho}$ is (i) the density matrix corresponding to a (pure) squeezed state and (ii) the density matrix of a superposition of squeezed states with thermal light. In the first case, we find that ${P}_{N}$ is an oscillating function of $N$. In the second case, this behavior, characteristic for squeezed states, disappears even for small amounts of noise.

The effect of dissipation on squeezed-state superposition states, generated in a nonlinear oscillator is investigated. Our results are presented in terms of the Q-function and the marginal distributions for a class of Hermitian operators.

Multiphoton Coherent States and the Linear Superposition Principle

Igor Jex, Vladimír Bužek

We show that multiphoton coherent states can be expressed as linear quantum superpositions of a finite number of generalized coherent states. Quantum interferences between component states lead to appearance of non-classical effects such as oscillations in the photon number distribution, quadrature squeezing, SU(1, 1) squeezing and others.

Phase distributions of a two-mode squeezed coherent state

A. Lukš, Vlasta Peřinová

In experiments, pulses of two-mode squeezed light were generated by an optical parametric amplifier. For certain ranges of parameters the joint photon number distribution of two-mode squeezed coherent states exhibits nonclassical oscillations. The nonclassical features were explained using the interference-in-phase-space concept in four-dimensional phase space. We investigate joint phase distribution of two- mode squeezed coherent states for presence of peaks and attempt to relate the peaks to the manifest oscillations in the joint photon number distribution.
