Inverses of the harmonic oscillator creation and annihilation operators by their actions on the number states are introduced. Three of the two photon annihilation operators, viz., a(sup +/-1)a, aa(sup +/-1), and a(sup 2), have normalizable right eigenstates with nonvanishing eigenvalues. The eigenvalue equation of these operators are discussed and their normalized eigenstates are obtained.

Eigenstates of two-photon annihilation operators

C. L. Mehta, Anil Roy, G. M. Saxena

We introduce the inverse of the harmonic-oscillator creation and annihilation operators by their actions on the number states. We then show that three of the two-photon annihilation operators, a^ $^{\mathrm{\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}}\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$a^, a^a^ $^{\mathrm{\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}}\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$, and a^ $^{2}$ , possess eigenstates that are analogous to the often-used coherent and squeezed states. A family of the eigenstates of the operator a^ $^{\mathrm{\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}}\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$a^ is the customary squeezed vacuum S(\ensuremath{\sigma})\ensuremath{\Vert}0〉 while another family of the eigenstates of a^a^ $^{\mathrm{\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}}\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$ is the state S(\ensuremath{\sigma})\ensuremath{\Vert}n=1〉. We find some interesting properties related to squeezing, bunching, and antibunching exhibited by these states. An alternative method of summing some series by using these states is also considered. It is hoped that these states will find applications in quantum optics and quantum mechanics in general.We introduce the inverse of the harmonic-oscillator creation and annihilation operators by their actions on the number states.

Noncommutative photon-added squeezed vacuum states

Hossein Fakhri, M. Sayyah-Fard

Noncommutative optical squeezed vacuum states are constructed as eigenstates of an appropriate two-photon annihilation operator corresponding to the Biedenharn–Macfarlane [Formula: see text]-oscillator. We consider in details the role of noncommutativity parameter [Formula: see text] on the nonclassical behaviors including quadrature squeezing and sub-Poissonian statistics. Also, we construct the noncommutative photon-added squeezed vacuum states and consider their Hillery-type higher-order squeezing and single-mode noise band.Noncommutative optical squeezed vacuum states are constructed as eigenstates of an appropriate two-photon annihilation operator corresponding to the Biedenharn–Macfarlane [Formula: see text]-oscillator.
