Physical Review A

Simple approach to the wave functions of one- and two-mode squeezed states

Fan Hong‐Yi, Jack Vanderlinde

Published Feb 1, 1989• 31 citations
Publisher

Abstract

With use of the coordinate representation of the one-mode squeeze operator, the coordinate representation wave function of the one-mode squeezed state is simply rederived. A parallel treatment for the two-mode squeeze operator yields the two-mode squeezed state wave function.

Coordinate representation of squeezed states

Jagdish Rai, C. L. Mehta

We obtain the wave function in the coordinate representation of the one-mode squeezed states \ensuremath{\Vert}\ensuremath{\zeta}, \ensuremath{\alpha}〉=exp(\ensuremath{\zeta}${\mathit{a}}^{\mathrm{^}2}$-${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\zeta}}}^{\mathrm{*}}$${\mathit{a}}^{2}$)exp(\ensuremath{\alpha}${\mathit{a}}^{\mathrm{^}}$-${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\alpha}}}^{\mathrm{*}}$a)\ensuremath{\Vert}0〉. The wave function is a displaced Gaussian with center and width depending upon the parameters \ensuremath{\alpha} and \ensuremath{\zeta}.

Squeezed-state wave functions and their relation to classical phase-space maps

Fan Hong‐Yi, Jack Vanderlinde

Coordinate wave functions for the one-mode squeezed states produced by the quantum analog of the general linear transformation in phase space are calculated. The probability density [\ensuremath{\Vert}\ensuremath{\psi}(q)${\ensuremath{\Vert}}^{2}$] for these states is Gaussian with center predicted by the classical transformation. The quantum image (which includes the traditional two-mode squeeze operator) of a three-parameter symplectic map in two-mode phase space equally generates squeezed states having Gaussian \ensuremath{\Vert}\ensuremath{\psi}(${q}_{1}$,${q}_{1}$)${\ensuremath{\Vert}}^{2}$. The center of the two-mode Gaussian is again predicted by the classical mapping.

Wave functions of a new kind of nonlinear single-mode squeezed state

Hong-Yi Fan, Cheng Da, Junhua Chen

We explore the theoretical possibility of extending the usual squeezed state to those produced by nonlinear single-mode squeezing operators. We derive the wave functions of exp[−(i g /2)( P + P )|0⟩ in the coordinate representation. A new operator's disentangling formula is derived as a by-product.

Squeezed states: Operators for two types of one- and two-mode squeezing transformations

Fan Hong-Yi

We find that the exponential operators U=exp[-i(${\ensuremath{\lambda}}_{1}$${\mathit{Q}}_{1}$${\mathit{P}}_{2}$+${\ensuremath{\lambda}}^{2}$${\mathit{Q}}_{2}$${\mathit{P}}_{1}$] and W=exp[-i(${\ensuremath{\lambda}}_{1}$${\mathit{Q}}_{1}$${\mathit{Q}}_{2}$-${\ensuremath{\lambda}}_{2}$p${\mathrm{P}}_{1}$${\mathit{P}}_{2}$)] (where ${\ensuremath{\lambda}}_{1}$ and ${\ensuremath{\lambda}}_{2}$ are real; ${P}_{i}$ and ${Q}_{i}$ are coordinate and momentum operators, respectively; and i=1,2) are two types of generalized squeezing operators responsible for generating two types of one- and two-mode combination squeezed states, respectively. The coordinate and/or momentum representations of U and W are presented, and their normal product forms are first derived in terms of the newly developed technique of integration within an ordered product, which provides us with a direct approach to constructing these new squeezed states. The fluctuations in quadrature phases for these states are analyzed.

Coordinate-Dependent One- and Two-Mode Squeezing Transformation and the Corresponding Squeezed States

Gang Ren, Song Tong-Qiang

We introduce the coordinate-dependent one- and two-mode squeezing transformations and discuss the properties of the corresponding one-and two-mode squeezed states. We show that the coordinate-dependent one-and two-mode squeezing transformations can be constructed by the combination of two transformations, a coordinate-dependent displacement followed by the standard squeezed transformation. Such a decomposition turns a nonlinear problem into a linear one because all the calculations involving the nonlinear one- and two-mode squeezed transformation have been shown to be able to reduce to those only concerning the standard one- and two-mode squeezed states.

New approach for calculating the normally ordered form of squeeze operators

Fan Hong‐Yi, Haider R. Zaidi, John R. Klauder

A new method for directly obtaining the normally ordered form of single- and two-mode squeeze operators is presented. This method is based on the technique of ``integration within an ordered product.'' The operator expressions are derived using the coherent-state representation as well as the coordinate and the momentum representations. The method is very simple, and the approach has an intuitive basis that makes the squeezing property manifest at the outset.
