Abstract

We consider the system of a mesoscopic Josephson junction interacting with a quantized radiation field and investigate the fluctuation properties of the junction variables with time evolution. Our results show that, due to the quantum entanglement between the field and junction, the mesoscopic Josephson junction subsystem can exhibit squeezing behavior.

Quantum Fluctuation Properties in Mesoscopic Josephson Junction

Zou Jian

An effective bosonic Hamiltonian describing the interaction of a mesoscopic Josephson junction with a quantized radiation field is studied. It is shown that when the field is initially in a coherent state and the junction initially in its lowest energy level state, the state of the coupled field-mesoscopic Josephson junction system can evolve to a squeezed state. A detailed analysis about the quantum fluctuation of the coupled system is given.

Squeezing Properties in Mesoscopic Josephson Junction with Nonclassical Radiation Field

Shao Bin, Zou Jian, Qian‐Shu Li

We consider a system of mesoscopic Josephson junction interacting with nonclassical radiation field and investigate any order squeezing for the mesoscopic Josephson junction subsystem. Our results show that if the field is initially prepared in a squeezed vacuum and the junction is in its lowest energy state (the vacuum state), then as the time evolves the Josephson junction subsystem can exhibit any order squeezing.

We have investigated the reduced fluctuation properties in a mesoscopic Josephson junction with the squeezed state at a finite temperature. It is shown that the fluctuations increase with increasing temperature and the mesoscopic Josephson junction subsystem can exhibit squeezing behaviour at an appropriately low temperature.

The continuous-variable (CV) entanglement between two mesoscopic Josephson junctions is studied and the time-dependent characteristic function in Wigner representation for the Josephson junction subsystem driven by a single-mode thermal field is analytically obtained. It is found that an initial lowest energy state of the junction subsystem can evolve into a two-mode entangled Gaussian state through the interaction with the thermal radiation field. Furthermore, we investigate the influence of the temperature on the entanglement of the junctions and find that the CV entanglement of the two junctions shows the critical behavior with respect to the temperature.

Continuous–Variable Entanglement in a Coupled Field–Mesoscopic Josephson Junction System

Continuous–variable entanglement in the interacting system of a mesoscopic Josephson junction with a squeezed field is investigated. It is shown that when the cavity field is initially prepared in a squeezed vacuum state and the junction in its lowest energy state, the coupling system can evolve into a two-mode Gaussian state. The time-dependent characteristic function in the Wigner representation for the system is analytically obtained, and the squeezing degree of the initial cavity field turns out to have not only an apparent enhancing but also a weakening effect on the entanglement of the coupling system under suitable parameter conditions.

Periodic Revivals of Squeezing in a Mesoscopic Josephson Junction

Jian Zou, Bin Shao

The interaction between a mesoscopic Josephson junction and a quantized electromagnetic field is discussed quantum mechanically. Within the external field approximation, it is shown that if the field is prepared in a coherent state and the junction is initially in its lowest energy level, squeezing can occur in such a system.
