Photon number tomography and photon statistics of two-mode Gaussian states

Abstract

The explicit relationship of photon number tomogram and optical tomogram is obtained for two-mode light. The corresponding integral kernel is expressed in terms of Laguerre polynomials. The connection of the Heisenberg uncertainty relationship with photon statistics is elucidated.

Photon number and optical tomograms for Gaussian states

Olga V. Man’ko, Vladimir I. Man’ko

A review of probability representation of quantum states in given for optical and photon number tomography approaches. Explicit connection of photon number tomogram with measurable by homodyne detector optical tomogram is obtained. New integral relations connecting Hermite polynomials of two variables with Laguerre polynomials are found. Examples of generic Gaussian photon states (squeezed and correlated states) are studied in detail.

Photon-number tomography and fidelity

Olga V. Man’ko

The scheme of photon-number tomography is discussed in the framework of star- product quantization. The connection of dual quantization scheme and observables is reviewed. The quantizer and dequantizer operators and kernels of star-product of tomograms in photon-number tomography scheme and its dual one are presented in explicit form. The fidelity and state purity are discussed in photon-number tomographic scheme, and the expressions for fidelity and purity are obtained in the form of integral of the product of two photon-number tomograms with integral kernel which is presented in explicit form. The properties of quantumness are discussed in terms of inequalities on state photon-number tomograms.

Photon Statistics of Two-Mode Squeezed Light with Gaussian Wigner Function

Olga V. Man’ko, G. Schrade

For two-mode squeezed light with Gaussian density matrix, the photon distribution function is found explicitly and expressed in terms of four-variable (for mixed state) and two-variable (for pure state) Hermite polynomials. Generating functions for the joint photon distribution in both modes and for the photon distribution in one-mode subsystem are obtained.

Optical tomography of photon-added coherent states, even and odd coherent states, and thermal states

Ya. A. Korennoy, Vladimir I. Man’ko

Explicit expressions for optical tomograms of photon-added coherent states, even and odd photon-added coherent states, and photon-added thermal states are given in terms of Hermite polynomials. Suggestions for experimental homodyne detection of the considered photon states are presented.

Two-mode optical tomograms: a possible experimental check of the Robertson uncertainty relations

Vladimir I. Man’ko, Giuseppe Marmo, Alberto Simoni +1 more

The experimental check of two--mode Robertson uncertainty relations and inequalities for highest quadrature moments is suggested by using homodyne photon detection. The relation between optical tomograms and symplectic tomograms is used to connect the tomographic dispersion matrix and the quadrature components dispersion matrix of the two--mode field states.

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 .
