Alternative Strategy to the Binomial State
CELIA M. A. DANTAS, B. Baseia, Vanderlei Salvador Bagnato
Abstract
We investigate an intermediate state of light field which interpolates between a number state | N ⟩ and a coherent state | α⟩, thus constituting an alternative to the binomial state. Comparison of nonclassical effects emerging from these two scenarios is discussed. Additional discussion concerning photon-number distribution is also considered.
