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

Abstract

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.

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.

q-phase-coherent states and their squeezing properties

Yaping Yang, Zhixin Lin, Shuangyuan Xie +2 more

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

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.

NONCLASSICAL EFFECTS OF THE STATES GENERATED BY EXCITATIONS ON A COHERENT STATE OF A HARMONIC OSCILLATOR IN A FINITE-DIMENSIONAL HILBERT SPACE

YUAN-XING LI, QIN-MEI WANG, Jing‐Bo Xu

The mathematical and physical properties of the states which are generated by excitations on the coherent state of a harmonic oscillator in a finite-dimensional Hilbert space are studied. It is shown that the state exhibits squeezing in one of the quadratures of the field and sub-Poissonian photon statistics.
