TIME-DEPENDENT WIGNER DISTRIBUTION FUNCTION EMPLOYED IN SQUEEZED SCHRÖDINGER CAT STATES: |Ψ(t)〉 = N-1/2(|β〉+eiϕ|-β〉)

Jeong Ryeol Choi, Kyu Hwang Yeon

The Wigner distribution function (WDF) for the time-dependent quadratic Hamiltonian system is investigated in the squeezed Schrödinger cat states with the use of Lewis–Riesenfeld theory of invariants. The nonclassical aspects of the system produced by superposition of two distinct squeezed states are analyzed with emphasis on their application into special systems beyond simple harmonic oscillator. An application of our development to the measurement of quantum state by reconstructing the WDF via Autler–Townes spectroscopy is addressed. In addition, we considered particular models such as Cadirola–Kanai oscillator, frequency stable damped harmonic oscillator, and harmonic oscillator with time-variable frequency as practical applications with the object of promoting the understanding of nonclassical effects associated with the WDF.

New approach for Damping in a squeezed bath and its time evolution through Complete Class of Gaussian Quasi-distributions

M. R. Bazrafkan, Seyed Mahmoud Ashrafi, Fahimeh Naghdi

By virtue of the thermal entangled states representation of density operator and using dissipative interaction picture we solve the master equation of a driven damped harmonic oscillator in a squeezed bath. We show that the essential part of the dynamics can be expressed by the convolution of initial Wigner function with a special kind of normalized Gaussian in phase space and relate the dynamics with the change of Gaussian ordering of density operator.

Measurement of the Temperature Using the Tomographic Representation of Thermal States for Quadratic Hamiltonians

Julio A. López-Saldívar, Margarita A. Man’ko, Vladimir I. Man’ko

The Wigner and tomographic representations of thermal Gibbs states for one- and two-mode quantum systems described by a quadratic Hamiltonian are obtained. This is done by using the covariance matrix of the mentioned states. The area of the Wigner function and the width of the tomogram of quantum systems are proposed to define a temperature scale for this type of states. This proposal is then confirmed for the general one-dimensional case and for a system of two coupled harmonic oscillators. The use of these properties as measures for the temperature of quantum systems is mentioned.
