q-phase-coherent states and their squeezing properties

Abstract

Some kinds of q-phase-coherent states of a q-harmonic osscillator in a finite-dimensional Hilbert space are constructed. Some properties of these states are discussed. Second-order squeezing properties of these states with respect to the phase quadrature operators are studied. The number-phase squeezing and number-phase uncertainty relations are also studied in detail for a two-state system. Some new number-phase minimum uncertainty states are found.

Coherent States of a Harmonic Oscillator in a Finite-dimensional Hilbert Space and Their Squeezing Properties

Le‐Man Kuang, Fa-Bo Wang, Yan-Guo Zhou

New coherent states of a harmonic oscillator in a finite-dimensional Fock space are introduced. Some properties of these coherent states are discussed. The second-order squeezing of these coherent states with respect to the quadrature operators is studied in detail. In particular, for a two-state system the arbitrary higher-order squeezing of these states is investigated. It is shown that these coherent states exhibit much richer squeezing properties than the coherent states of a usual harmonic oscillator in an infinite-dimensional Fock space. It is found that these coherent states have not only second-order squeezing but also higher-order squeezing with respect to the quadrature operators of the field under consideration.

Phase-coherent states and their squeezing properties

Le‐Man Kuang, Xin Chen

Phase-coherent states associated with the Pegg-Barnett (PB) phase operator formalism are introduced in terms of the algebraic properties of the PB phase theory. The phase-coherent-state representation of the PB phase states and the PB phase operators is obtained. Squeezing properties of these coherent states with respect to the phase quadrature operators are studied. The number-phase squeezing and number-phase uncertainty relations are also investigated in detail for a two-state system. Some new number-phase minimum uncertainty states are found.

Coherent states in a finite-dimensional basis: Their phase properties and relationship to coherent states of light

Vladimír Bužek, A. D. Wilson‐Gordon, P. L. Knight +1 more

The Pegg-Barnett phase-operator formalism utilizes a finite basis set to represent operators of the harmonic oscillator; this enables the phase to be represented by a Hermitian operator, but rests on taking the dimensionality of the basis set to infinity for observable quantities. Simultaneously, in their approach Pegg and Barnett consider quantum states of a harmonic oscillator which are normalized in the Fock space, i.e., the dimensionality of the basis set in which the states of the harmonic oscillator are defined is supposed to be infinite, while the phase operator is defined in the finite-dimensional basis set. In this paper we address the problem of a consistent definition of a coherent state within a finite state basis. We employ displacement operators to define such coherent states and numerically evaluate observables as a function of the size of the basis set. We investigate phase properties of these coherent states. We find that if the dimensionality of the state space is much larger than the mean occupation number of the coherent states, then the results obtained in the finite-dimensional basis are applicable in the case of a ordinary quantum-mechanical harmonic oscillator. These coherent states are minimum uncertainty states with respect to quadrature operators (i.e., the position and momentum operators) and do not exhibit quadrature squeezing. A weakly excited (compared with the dimensionality of the state space) coherent state in finite-dimensional basis is not strictly speaking a minimum uncertainty state with respect to the number and phase operators. We give definitions of amplitude and phase squeezing and show that weakly excited coherent states can be amplitude squeezed. In the high-intensity limit (again compared with the dimensionality of the state space) these states exhibit phase squeezing.

Squeezing Properties of Even Coherent States in a Finite-Dimensional Hilbert Space

Jiu-Yun Zhu, Le‐Man Kuang

Even coherent states (ECSs) of a finite-dimensional Hilbert space harmonic oscillator (FDHSHO) are constructed explicitly. Some properties of them are discussed. The quadrature squeezing and the amplituded-squared squeezing of these states are investigated in detail. It is found that ECSs of the FDHSHO exhibit not only the quadrature squeezing but also the amplituded-squeezing.

Coherent Phase State and Displaced Phase State in a Finite-dimensional Basis and Their Light Field Limits

Gautam Gangopadhyay

Using the Pegg-Barnett phase operator formalism we have introduced the coherent phase state and the displaced phase state in a finite dimension. Using the definition of phase creation and annihilation operators we have constructed a displacement operator which yields coherent phase states and displaced phase states within a finite-dimensional basis and numerically evaluated observables as a function of the size of the basis set. We have shown that, when the dimension of the state space is much larger than the average excitation of phase quanta, then these states are the coherent phase state and displaced phase state of a harmonic oscillator which has an infinite number of eigenstates and exhibits phase squeezing up to 100%. The coherent phase state is a minimum-uncertainty state with respect to the phase quadrature operators but not the minimum-uncertainty state with respect to number and phase operators. The properties of coherent phase states for a two-state system are also investigated. It is interesting to realize that these coherent phase states and displaced phase states are exactly the same as the phase vacuum state and different phase states respectively for the single-mode light field case.
