Abstract

A method is explored to define a hermitian phase operator associated with a mode of the radiation field. Although the basic principle to define it uniquely is still lacking, the phase operator introduced through ad hoc assumptions exhibits some interesting properties.

Photon Phase Operator

We have already shown that the coherent states are very close to the classical state of the well-deﬁned amplitude and phase. A question not answered yet is: Does there exist an analogous quantum mechanical observable for the phase that is given by some Hermitian operator? We know from classical optics that phase of an EM ﬁeld is an observable quantity. Hence, in quantum physics it should be associated with a Hermitian operator. In order to set up a quantitative description of the phase operator, we will introduce some of the ideas presented in the literature which led to the formulation of the Hermitian phase operator.

Fourier theory, uncertainty relations, and quantum phase

Jeffrey H. Shapiro, Scott Roger Shepard, N. C. Wong

The problem of phase in quantum mechanics is an old one but one that has received increasing attention of late. For a single-mode radiation field with annihilation operator â there have been two recent formulations for its quantum phase, Pegg and Bamett1 have created a Hermitian phase operator ϕ ^ s by truncating the state space associated with â to the subspace spanned by the number kets {|n〉:0 ≤ n ≤ S}.

A basis-independent approach to quantum optics

Ivan Deutsch

States of the radiation field can be defined without reference to a given basis of normal modes. In this way optical systems for which there is no natural set of orthogonal modes can be handled quantum mechanically in a more rigorous manner. In particular, coherent states and associated phase-space methods can easily be generalized to this basis-independent representation.

Wigner function for number and phase

John A. Vaccaro, David Thomas Pegg

Various quasiprobability distributions have been developed in the past using the Hilbert space of the single-mode light field. The development of a quasiprobability distribution associated with a phase operator has previously been impossible because of the absence of a unique Hermitian phase operator defined on the Hilbert space. Recently, however, Pegg and Barnett [Europhys. Lett. 6, 483 (1988); Phys. Rev. A 39, 1665 (1989)] and Barnett and Pegg [J. Mod. Optics 36, 7 (1989)] introduced a new formalism that does allow the construction of a Hermitian phase operator and associated phase eigenstates. In this paper we develop a quasiprobability distribution associated with the number and phase operators of the single-mode light field in the new formalism. The new distribution, which we call the number-phase Wigner function, has properties analogous to the Wigner function. We also derive the number-phase Wigner representation of number states, phase states, general physical states, coherent states, and the squeezed vacuum. We find this new representation has features that are related to the number and phase properties of states. For example, the number-phase Wigner representation of a number state is nonzero only on a circle, while the representation of a phase state is only nonzero along a radial line.

Phase properties of the quantized single-mode electromagnetic field

David Thomas Pegg, Stephen Mark Barnett

The usual mathematical model of the single-mode electromagnetic field is the harmonic oscillator with an infinite-dimensional state space, which unfortunately cannot accommodate the existence of a Hermitian phase operator. Recently we indicated that this difficulty may be circumvented by using an alternative, and physically indistinguishable, mathematical model of the single-mode field involving a finite but arbitrarily large state space, the dimension of which is allowed to tend to infinity after physically measurable results, such as expectation values, are calculated. In this paper we investigate the properties of a Hermitian phase operator which follows directly and uniquely from the form of the phase states in this space and find them to be well behaved. The phase-number commutator is not subject to the difficulties inherent in Dirac's original commutator, but still preserves the commutator--Poisson-bracket correspondence for physical field states. In the quantum regime of small field strengths, the phase operator predicts phase properties substantially different from those obtained using the conventional Susskind-Glogower operators. In particular, our results are consistent with the vacuum being a state of random phase and the phases of two vacuum fields being uncorrelated. For higher-intensity fields, the quantum phase properties agree with those previously obtained by phenomenological and semiclassical approaches, where such approximations are valid. We illustrate the properties of the phase with a discussion of partial phase states. The Hermitian phase operator also allows us to construct a unitary number-shift operator and phase-moment generating functions. We conclude that the alternative mathematical description of the single-mode field presented here provides a valid, and potentially useful, quantum-mechanical approach for calculating the phase properties of the electromagnetic field.
