Displaced and Squeezed Fock States

Abstract

Energy eigenstates of a quantum harmonic oscillator are displaced, squeezed and finally damped by one- and two-photon absorption process. Quantum fluctuations, quasi-distributions, photon-number statistics and wave-functions are investigated for them both analytically and numerically. We propose new methods for analytic treatment.

Time-dependent Displaced and Squeezed Number States

Sang Pyo Kim

We generalize the wave functions of the displaced and squeezed number states, found by Nieto, to a time-dependent harmonic oscillator with variable mass and frequency. These time-dependent displaced and squeezed number states are obtained by first squeezing and then displacing the exact number states and are exact solutions of the Schrödinger equation. Further, these wave functions are the time-dependent squeezed harmonic-oscillator wave functions centered at classical trajectories.

Kerr interaction with displaced and squeezed Fock states

Petr Král

Displaced and squeezed Fock states have recently been thoroughly investigated. Application of these states as the input of a Kerr nonlinear medium reveals many nonclassical effects. We solve this problem analytically and demonstrate results by numerical examples. We introduce a phase distribution for the antinormal quasidistribution ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\varphi}}}_{\mathit{s}\mathit{c}\mathit{r}\mathit{A}}$ and show that the ``phase'' of the new states can be sharply localized at some values. This happens when revivals appear in the field. If the states are shifted by a reference wave, photon-number distributions clearly detect the structure of ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\varphi}}}_{\mathrm{scrA}}$. Damping of the new states is briefly discussed.

Damped harmonic oscillator and squeezed state

王晓光

Study of the two-photon coherent state or squeezed state has made great progress both in theory and in experiment for the generalization of usual coherent state of the electromagnetic field. The squeezed state can be produced by some nonlinear process and the Hamiltonian which governs the dynamics of squeezed state usually has a quatratic form. The time-dependent Bateman Hamiltonian of damped harmonic oscillator just has this

Squeezed states with thermal noise. II. Damping and photon counting

Paulina Marian, Tudor A. Marian

We consider a single-mode radiation field initially in a displaced squeezed thermal state. The weak interaction of such a field with a heat bath of arbitrary temperature is shown to preserve the Gaussian form of the characteristic function. Accordingly, the study of the time development of the density operator reduces to our previous description [P. Marian and T. A. Marian, preceding paper, Phys. Rev. A 47, 4474 (1993)] of the initial quantum state. As examples, photon statistics and squeezing properties of the damped field are analyzed. Based on the close relation between field dissipation and photon detection, we derive simple analytic formulas for the counting distribution and its factorial moments. Nonclassical features of a displaced squeezed thermal state, such as oscillations of the photon-number distribution, survive in the counting process, provided that the quantum efficiency of the detector is high enough.

Squeezed states with thermal noise. I. Photon-number statistics

Paulina Marian, Tudor A. Marian

We investigate a free monochromatic electromagnetic field which is the superposition of a squeezed thermal radiation and a coherent one. The main tool in our analysis is the characteristic function that has a Gaussian form. We establish an analytic formula for an arbitrary correlation function, as well as its strong-squeezing limit. Besides the usual quasiprobability densities, the coherent-state, number-state, coordinate, and momentum representations of the density operator are derived. We point out the nonclassical oscillations of the photon-number distribution and find its generating function. Collaterally, displaced thermal states and squeezed thermal states are revisited as nontrivial particular cases. We examine finally the squeezing properties of the field using the distribution functions of the quadratures.
