Classical-quantum correspondence in bosonic two-mode conversion systems: Polynomial algebras and Kummer shapes

Eva-Maria Graefe, Hans Jürgen Korsch, Alexander Rush

Bosonic quantum conversion systems can be modeled by many-particle single-mode Hamiltonians describing a conversion of $m$ molecules of type A into $n$ molecules of type B and vice versa. These Hamiltonians are analyzed in terms of generators of a polynomially deformed su(2) algebra. In the mean-field limit of large particle numbers, these systems become classical and their Hamiltonian dynamics can again be described by polynomial deformations of a Lie algebra, where quantum commutators are replaced by Poisson brackets. The Casimir operator restricts the motion to Kummer shapes, deformed Bloch spheres with cusp singularities depending on $m$ and $n$ . It is demonstrated that the many-particle eigenvalues can be recovered from the mean-field dynamics using a WKB-type quantization condition. The many-particle state densities can be semiclassically approximated by the time periods of periodic orbits, which show characteristic steps and singularities related to the fixed points, whose bifurcation properties are analyzed.Bosonic quantum conversion systems can be modeled by many-particle single-mode Hamiltonians describing a conversion of $m$ molecules of type A into $n$ molecules of type B and vice versa.

Entanglement generation from deformed spin coherent states using a beam splitter

K. Berrada, M. El Baz, Farhan Saif +2 more

Using the linear entropy as a measure of entanglement, we investigate the effect of a beam splitter on the Perelomov coherent states for the q-deformed Uq(su(2)) algebra. We distinguish two cases: in the classical q → 1 limit, we find that the states become Glauber coherent states as the spin tends to infinity; whereas for q ≠ 1, the states, contrary to the earlier case, become entangled as they pass through a beam splitter. The entanglement strongly depends on the q-deformation parameter and the amplitude Z of the state.Using the linear entropy as a measure of entanglement, we investigate the effect of a beam splitter on the Perelomov coherent states for the q-deformed Uq(su(2)) algebra.
