Quantum state engineering via coherent-state superpositions in traveling optical fields

Emese Paari‐Molnar, Петер Адам, Gabor Mogyorosi +1 more

We propose two experimental schemes for producing coherent-state superpositions which approximate different nonclassical states conditionally in traveling optical fields. Although these setups are constructed of a small number of linear optical elements and homodyne measurements, they can be used to generate various photon number superpositions in which the number of constituent states can be higher than the number of measurements in the schemes. We determine numerically the parameters to achieve maximal fidelity of the preparation for a large variety of nonclassical states, such as amplitude squeezed states, binomial states, squeezed cat states, and various photon number superpositions. The proposed setups can generate these states with high fidelities and with success probabilities that can be sufficient for practical applications.

ENHANCEMENT OF SQUEEZING AND SUPERPOSITION STATES

Zhu Kai-Cheng, Qin Wang, Yan Zhan-Xian +1 more

A way is presented with which the optical field states exhibiting much deeper squeezing can be achieved through a simple superposition of the vacuum and the squeezed states with smaller squeezing. The enhancement effect of squeezing and the antibunching effect exhibiting in the superposition states depend on the average photon number of the squeezed states and, are very remarkable for the field exhibiting much smaller squeezing.

The origin of non-classical effects in a one-dimensional superposition of coherent states

Vladimír Bužek, P. L. Knight, A. Vidiella-Barranco

We investigate the nature of the quantum fluctuations in a light field created by the superposition of coherent fields. We give a physical explanation (in terms of Wigner functions and phase-space interference) why the 1-D superposition of coherent states in the direction of the x-quadrature leads to the squeezing of fluctuations in the y-direction, and show that such a superposition can generate the squeezed vacuum and squeezed coherent states.
