Abstract

Arpita Ghosh and P.K. Das (Can. J. Phys. 86: 811 (2008) doi:10.1139/p08-013 ) derived an analytic expression for the Wigner function of a superposition of coherent state. We point out the incorrectness of this result.

We argue that the first order corrected computational scheme, used by Ghosh [J. Math. Phys. 53, 062104 (2012)] to obtain eigenenergies, corresponding generalized coherent states and various expectation values, is illegitimate. Consequently, the results presented in the work of Ghosh are incorrect and the corresponding conclusions are misleading.

We argue that the expectation values and dispersions of various operators for coherent states of generalized harmonic oscillator , presented in Ghosh and Roy (2012) [1] , are incorrect. Therefore, the conclusions based on these results are misleading and need to be corrected.

Comment on “Nonclassicality indicator for the real phase-space distribution functions”

Anatole Kenfack

We show in this Comment that the nonclassicality indicator proposed in Sadeghi et al. [Phys. Rev. A 82, 012102 (2010)] is controversial. Defined in terms of the interferences displayed by the quasidistribution function of at least two superposition states, this indicator may logically lead to zero for any single quantum state irrespective to its nonclassicality, in contradiction with their results.

Nonclassicalities of hybrid coherent states

Yusuf Turek, Nuerbiya Aishan, Akbar Islam

Abstract We address the non-classicality of hybrid coherent (HC) states, i.e. states expressed as a superposition of coherent state and single-photon-added coherent (SPAC) state. In particular, we evaluate their photon statistics, squeezing, and negativity of the Wigner function. Our results indicated that the HC states could exhibit larger non-classicalities than the SPAC state. We also suggest a generation scheme for HC states, which involves Kerr nonlinearity and postselection.

Reply to “Comment on ‘Nonclassicality indicator for the real phase-space distribution functions’ ”

Siamak Khademi, Parvin Sadeghi, S. Nasiri

Sadeghi et al. [Phys. Rev. A 82, 012102 (2010)] presented a new nonclassicality indicator which works properly for Husimi and Rivier distribution functions as well as the Wigner distribution function. Some objections on the Sadeghi nonclassicality indicator are presented by Kenfack (preceding Comment, ``Nonclassicality indicator for the real phase-space distribution functions'', Phys. Rev. A 93, 036101 (2016). In this Reply, some misconceptions on Sadeghi's nonclassicality indicator are discussed and clarified.
