Higher-order squeezing of quantum electromagnetic fields and higher-order uncertainty relations in two-mode squeezed states

Abstract

It is found that the two-mode output quantum electromagnetic field in two-mode squeezed states exhibits higher-order squeezing to all even orders and the degree of higher-order squeezing is greater than that of the second-order. The higher-order squeezed parameter and squeezed limit due to the modulation frequency are investigated. The smaller the modulation frequency is, the stronger the degree of higher-order squeezing becomes. Furthermore, the higher-order uncertainty relations in two-mode squeezed states are presented for the first time. The product of higher-order noise moments is related to even order number N and the squeeze factor r .

Higher-order squeezing of quantum field and higher-order uncertainty relations in non-degenerate four-wave mixing

Xi-Zeng Li, Su Bao-Xia, Chai Lu

It is found that the field of the combined mode of the probe wave and the phase conjugate wave in the process of non-degenerate four-wave mixing exhibits higher-order squeezing to all even orders. The higher-order squeezed parameter and squeezed limit due to the modulation frequency are investigated. The smaller the modulation frequency is, the stronger the degree of higher-order squeezing becomes. Furthermore, the higher-order uncertainty relations in the process of non-degenerate four-wave mixing are presented for the first time. The product of higher-order noise moments is related to even order number N and the length L of the medium.

High-order squeezing of the quantum electromagnetic field and the generalized uncertainty relations in two-mode squeezed states

Xi-Zeng Li, Bao-Xia Su

It is found that two-mode output quantum electromagnetic field in two-mode squeezed states exhibits higher-order squeezing to all even orders. And the generalized uncertainty relations are also presented for the first time. The concept of higher-order squeezing of the single-mode quantum electromagnetic field was first introduced and applied to several processes by Hong and Mandel in 1985. Lately Li Xizeng and Shan Ying have calculated the higher-order squeezing in the process of degenerate four-wave mixing and presented the higher-order uncertainty relations of the fields in single-mode squeezed states. In this paper we generalize the above work to the higher-order squeezing in two-mode squeezed states. The generalized uncertainty relations are also presented for the first time.

Generation of higher-order squeezing of quantum electromagnetic fields by degenerate four-wave mixing

Xi-Zeng Li, Shan Ying

It is found that the field of the combined mode of the probe wave and the phase-conjugate wave in the process of degenerate four-wave mixing exhibits higher-order squeezing to all even orders. The degree of squeezing increases with the order N, and the higher-order squeeze parameter ${q}_{N}$ may approach -1.

Higher-order squeezing properties of two-mode squeezed states

Jiaxin Gong, P. K. Aravind

We have investigated the properties of two-mode squeezed states of various kinds: squeezed coherent states, squeezed number states, squeezed thermal states, and squeezed number-thermal states. The properties studied include characteristic functions, photon number distributions, and high-order moments. We show that a two-mode squeezed coherent state appears in either of its modes as a Glauber-Lachs superposition of a coherent signal with thermal noise; this generalizes the well-known thermofield result that a two-mode squeezed vacuum state behaves like a pure thermal state in either of its modes. We investigate the higher-order squeezing (in the sense of Hong and Mandel) of squeezed coherent-thermal and squeezed number-thermal states. Although the squeezing is found to increase with order in both cases, there are nevertheless interesting differences that can be traced to the fact that the Wigner function has a Gaussian form for the former but not for the latter.

Study on the Properties of Higher-power Y-squeezing in the SecondKind of Multimode Superposition State Light Field with theSuperposition of Two Quantum State

Xiaowei Han

On the basis of reference 2, the paper probes the squeezing effects of unequal-order higher-power Y-squeezing in the second kind of multimode superposition state light field with the superposition of two quantum state by using the definition of multimode squeezing. It is found that when the the squeezing orders of each mode is even number, the state |Ψ (2) 2 q is always in N j-Y minimum uncertainty state; when the squeezing orders of each mode is odd number, under some conditions the state |Ψ (2) 2 q can also present N j-th power Y-squeezing that changes periodically; the result of reference 2 is only a particular example under the certain condition N j=N of this paper's universal results.

Generation of higher-order squeezing of quantum electromagnetic fields

C. K. Hong, L. Mandeļ

The concept of Nth-order squeezing and intrinsic Nth-order squeezing is introduced and applied to several physical situations that are known to exhibit second-order squeezing. It is shown that the field produced in degenerate parametric down-conversion is squeezed to all orders, as well as being intrinsically squeezed to orders 2,6,10,. . . . The same is true for the fundamental mode in second-harmonic generation within the short-time approximation, but in this case there is only intrinsic second-order squeezing. In resonance fluorescence from a two-level atom squeezing is again found to be intrinsically a second-order phenomenon, although an intrinsic second-order effect can give rise to a weak form of higher-order squeezing.
