Dual state vector of nonlinear coherent state and its application in complex P-representation
Hong-Yi Fan, Guichuan Yu
Abstract
We introduce the dual vector | z , f ( n )⟩ * of a single-mode nonlinear coherent state (NCS) by using the contour integral form of δ-function, and the explicit form of | z , f ( n )⟩ * is obtained in enlarged Hilbert space. The nonlinear Fock states and their contour representation are deduced. A new completeness relation composed of | z , f ( n )⟩ * and NCS in contour integral form is derived and its application in constructing a complex P-representation of density operators is shown.
