Abstract

We show that a finite superposition of photon-number states without the vacuum state can lead to squeezed fluctuations. The properties of these states are discussed.

The Discussion about the Squeezing Properties of Several Superpositions

Long Wu

A discussion is made about the squeezing properties of several superpositions, the vacuum state with coherent state or odd and even coherent state. It is found that the vacuum state has important value in squeezing.

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.

Phase Fluctuations and Squeezing

John A. Vaccaro, Stephen Mark Barnett, David Thomas Pegg

We investigate the relationship between squeezing and reduced phase fluctuations for various states of the single-mode electromagnetic field, including the strongly-squeezed vacuum and phase states. We find that, although squeezing the fluctuations of the electric field that arise from the vacuum guarantees a more well-defined phase, reducing phase fluctuations does not guarantee a squeezed electric field. We also investigate the evolution of the electric field and its fluctuations for a phase state. Our results show that even though the electric field fluctuations never vanish for a phase state, the times when the electric field changes sign are precisely defined. We also discuss why it is not always possible to attribute physical properties to certain states, such as simple superpositions of phase states.

Superposition of two squeezed vacuum states and interference effects

Barry C. Sanders

The superposition of two squeezed vacuum states is analyzed by studying the photon-number probability distribution and the quadrature-phase-eigenstate marginal distributions. Interference fringes in the distributions are observed for some superposition states. The nonlinear oscillator generates a particular superposition of two squeezed vacuum states and the properties of this superposition state are discussed and contrasted with the other superposition states.
