Phase properties of squeezed states

Abstract

Exact phase calculations for general squeezed states are presented. Results are given for different phase definitions, using number-state expansions. It is shown that the calculations based on the measured-phase-operator formalism leads to contrasting behavior compared with those based on the Susskind–Glogower, Lerner–Lynch, and Hermitian-phase-operator formalisms.

Properties of the Measured Phase Operators in the Squeezed Number States

Hsi-teh Tu, Chang-De Gong

The phase properties of the squeezed number states have been studied from the lower order to the higher order via the measured phase operators (MPO) introduced by Barnett and Pegg and compared with those obtained via the Hermitian and Susskind-Glogower phase operators. We have found many new, interesting results. For the lower order, the phase fluctuations of the MPO are exactly independent of the photon number n. For the higher order, the corresponding fluctuations are a decreasing function of n.

Phase fluctuations in a squeezed state using measured phase operators

Robert Lynch

The phase fluctuations in a squeezed state are considered by using the recently introduced measured phase operators of Barnett and Pegg [ J. Phys. A19, 3849 ( 1986)], which permit considerably simplified calculations compared with conventional (e.g., Susskind–Glogower) operators and yet nonetheless are found to give agreement with physical expectations for a squeezed state, while more or less producing agreement with known results in various limits.

Phase operators for the electromagnetic field by squeezed-state theory

Robert Lynch

A new set of phase operators for the electromagnetic field has been defined by an extension of squeezed-state theory. In several cases these operators have similar or the same properties as the previously defined (Susskind–Glogower) operators. However, the new operators also have unique properties of their own. The expectation values of the phase operators have been found for a squeezed state and been shown to reduce to the expected classical values in the limit of small amounts of squeezing and large field excitation.

Eigenstates of linear combinations of phase operators

C V Sukumar

The eigenstates of linear combinations of the Susskind and Glogower phase operators [Physics 1, 49 (1964)] for the harmonic oscillator are constructed. It is shown that such eigenstates are squeezed states.

Phase Properties of Self-squeezed States Generated by the Anharmonic Oscillator

Ts. Gantsog, R. Tanaś

The phase properties of the self-squeezed states generated during the evolution of the anharmonic oscillator are discussed from the point of view of the new phase formalism of Pegg and Barnett. The phase distribution, the expectation values and the variances of the Hermitian phase operator are obtained and their evolution illustrated graphically. The mean values for the phase cosine and sine functions as well as their variances are also calculated. The results are compared to the Susskind-Glogower formalism results and the results based on the measured phase concept. The relation between squeezing and the phase properties of the field is discussed briefly.

Phase properties of odd and even circular states

Wang Yue-Yuan, Liu Zheng-jun, Liao Qing-Hong +1 more

Phase properties of the even and odd circular states are studied within the Hermitian phase formalism of Pegg and Barnett. Exact analytical formulas for the distribution function and the variance of the phase operator are obtained and used to examine whether or not the even and odd circular states exhibit photon-number squeezing and phase squeezing.
