Wigner function and the entanglement of a quantized Bessel-Gaussian vortex state of a quantized radiation field

Abstract

A new kind of quantum non-Gaussian state with a vortex structure, termed a Bessel—Gaussian vortex state, is constructed, which is an eigenstate of the sum of squared annihilation operators a 2 + b 2 . The Wigner function of the quantum vortex state is derived and exhibits negativity which is an indication of nonclassicality. It is also found that a quantized vortex state is always in entanglement. And a scheme for generating such quantized vortex states is proposed.

Non-Gaussian state with vortex structure of quantized radiation field

Kaicheng Zhu, Shaoxin Li, Xiaojuan Zheng +1 more

A new kind of quantum non-Gaussian state with vortex structure termed as a modified Bessel–Gaussian vortex state is constructed, and it is an eigenstate of sum of squared annihilation operator a2+b2. The quantum vortex state exhibits a rich variety of nonclassical signatures and is always entangled. The dependence of its statistical properties on state parameters is analyzed, and the non-Gaussianity is investigated in detail. It is found that, for sufficient small values of α, the properties clearly depend on the topological charge index n. Moreover, a scheme for generating such quantized vortex states is proposed.

Two-mode superposition coherent states with spatial vortex structure for the quantized radiation field

Kaicheng Zhu, Shaoxin Li, Xiaojuan Zheng +1 more

Through superposing M two-mode coherent state a two-mode superposition coherent state with a spatial vortex structure in configuration space is constructed. Such quantum vortex state is an eigenstate of sum of squared two-mode annihilation operators and is always entangled. In the limiting condition of large M the quantum vortex state has a modified Bessel–Gaussian vortex structure with topological charge index n. Experimentally, such two-mode vortex states may be prepared by virtue of a multimode coherent state with currently available technology.

Engineering non-Gaussian entangled states with vortices by photon subtraction

G. S. Agarwal

We show how a quantum mechanical vortex state of a two-mode system can be generated from a squeezed vacuum by subtracting a photon. The vortex state has nonclassical properties; for example, its Wigner function can be negative, in contrast to the Wigner function of the two-mode squeezed vacuum. We show, by calculating the logarithmic negativity parameter, that the vortex state has stronger entanglement than the two-mode squeezed vacuum.

Pair coherent state evolutions through parametric frequency conversion and the realization of quantized vortex states

Zhu Kai-Cheng, Shaoxin Li, Zheng Xiao-Juan +1 more

The pair coherent state evolution during a parametric frequency conversion is analyzed. And the wavefunction of the evolving pair coherent state in configuration space is obtained. It is found that the state may become a modified Bessel-Gaussian vortex state with topological charge index q which is a new non-Gaussian state. In coherent state representation such a modified Bessel-Gaussian vortex state is an eigenstate of sum of squared two-mode annihilation operators a2 + b2. The result obtained in this paper provides a new scheme for generating quantized vortex states in experiment with currently available technology.

Nonclassical properties of non-Gaussian two-mode quantum vortex state

Vikram Singh, Devendra Kumar Mishra

Nonclassicality of optical fields are the key resources in quantum information processing.Recently, Agarwal [New J. Phys., 13, 073008(2011)] proposed a method for engineering of a two-mode vortex state, a non-Gaussian state, by subtracting a photon from a two-mode squeezed state produced by down-converter from idler mode via a beam splitter with low reflectivity and detection of one photon by the avalanche photo diode (APD), or even better by a single-photon detector.We study the nonclassicalities of this state in terms of squeezing, antibunching, photon number correlation and distribution of photon number.In addition, we study higher-order nonclassical properties, viz., sum squeezing.We find that the non-Gaussian state shows strong nonclassical effects.
