Abstract

The two-mode even and odd coherent Schrödinger cat states are introduced for the generalized stationary and non-stationary harmonic oscillator. The expected values of positions and momenta and their dispersion matrices are calculated for the Schrödinger cat states. The quadrature squeezing and correlation phenomenon are studied and the Wigner and Husimi functions are constructed explicitly for these states. The photon statistics of the two-mode even and odd coherent states of the generalized oscillator is described in terms of the photon distribution function, which is expressed in terms of Hermite polynomials. The photon number, means and dispersions show oscillations which are characteristics of squeezing and correlation phenomenon.

Photon generation and squeezing in a generalized two-dimensional oscillator

Octavio Castaños, Ramón López–Peña, Vladimir I. Man’ko

A quantum system described by a two-dimensional harmonic oscillator with a varying mass parameter plus the projection of the angular momentum in the z direction with a time-dependent mode coupling constant is considered to study the two-mode squeezing and photon generation phenomena. For some specific time dependences of the oscillator mass and an arbitrary function of time for the coupling constant exact results on the time evolution of the density matrix and the Wigner function are presented. An analytical expression of the photon distribution is obtained explicitly in terms of Hermite polynomials of two variables, and it shows the effect of oscillations characteristic of squeezing and correlation of the photon quadratures.

Photon statistics of multimode even and odd coherent light

Nadeem A. Ansari, Vladimir I. Man’ko

The even and odd coherent states are generalized for the multimode case. The explicit forms for the photon distribution, Q function, and Wigner function are derived. In particular, it is shown that for the two-mode case there exist strong correlations between these modes, under certain conditions, which are responsible for two-mode squeezing in the case of even coherent states.
