Entanglement dynamics of quantum states generated by a Kerr medium and a beam splitter

Abstract

We study theoretically the dynamics of entangled states created in a beam splitter with a nonlinear Kerr medium placed into one input arm. Entanglement dynamics of initial classical and nonclassical states are studied and compared. Signatures of revival and fractional revival phenomena exhibited during the time evolution of states in the Kerr medium are captured in the entangled states produced by the beam splitter. Dynamics of entanglement shows local minima at the instants of fractional revivals. These minima correspond to the generation of two-component Schrödinger cat states or multi-component Schrödinger cat-like states if the initial state considered is a coherent state. Maximum entanglement is obtained at the instants of collapses of wave packets in the medium. Our analysis shows increase in entanglement with increase in the degree of nonclassicality of the initial states considered. We show that the states generated at the output of the beam splitter using initial nonclassical states are more robust against decoherence due to photon absorption by an environment than those formed by an initial classical state.

An investigation of nonclassical properties of light using an optical tomogram

M. Rohith

By analyzing the optical tomogram of a linear superposition of coherent states, we show that distinctive signatures of the macroscopic superposition states are displayed directly in the optical tomograms of the states. We also study the effect of decoherence on the optical tomograms of the macroscopic superposition states. Since the wave packet fractional revivals are associated with the generation of macroscopic superposition states, these signatures help in visualizing the revivals and fractional revivals occurring in a nonlinear medium directly in the optical tomogram of the time-evolved state. We found that the optical tomogram of the time-evolved state at the instants of fractional revivals show structures with sinusoidal strands. Using a class of initial superposed wave packets evolving in the Kerr-like medium, we further show that the condition for the occurrence of fractional revival phenomenon depends on the number of wave packets composing the initial superposition state. In the case of a two-mode electromagnetic field, we investigate the entanglement of the state directly using the optical tomogram. We have shown that the signatures of entanglement can be observed directly in the single-mode optical tomogram of the state without reconstructing the density matrix of the system. We also analyze the effect of decoherence on the optical tomograms of the entangled states. Further, we examine the optical tomograms of the entangled states generated using a beam splitter with a Kerr medium placed into one of its input modes. We have found the signatures of entanglement in the optical tomogram for the entangled states generated at the instants of two- and three-subpacket fractional revival times.

Wave packet dynamics of entangled q-deformed states

M. Rohith, S. Anupama, C. Sudheesh

Abstract This paper explores the wave packet dynamics of a math-type q-deformed field interacting with atoms in a Kerr-type nonlinear medium. The primary focus is on the generation and dynamics of entanglement using the q-deformed field, with the quantification of entanglement accomplished through the von Neumann entropy. Two distinct initial q-deformed states, the q-deformed Fock state, and the q-deformed coherent state, are investigated. The entanglement dynamics reveal characteristics of periodic, quasi-periodic, and chaotic behaviour. Non-deformed initial states display wave packet near revivals and fractional revivals in entanglement dynamics while introducing q-deformation eliminates these features. The q-deformation significantly influences wave packet revivals and fractional revivals, with even a slight introduction causing their disappearance. For large values of q, the entanglement dynamics exhibit a chaotic nature. In the case of a beam splitter-type interaction applied to the initial deformed Fock state, an optimal deformation parameter q is identified, leading to maximum entanglement exceeding the non-deformed scenario.

Wave packet dynamics of entangled two-mode states

C Sudheesh, S Lakshmibala, V Balakrishnan

We consider a model Hamiltonian describing the interaction of a single-mode radiation field with the atoms of a nonlinear medium and study the dynamics of entanglement for specific non-entangled initial states of interest: namely, those in which the field mode is initially in a Fock state, a coherent state or a photon-added coherent state. The counterparts of near-revivals and fractional revivals are shown to be clearly identifiable in the entropy of entanglement. The 'overlap fidelity' of the system is another such indicator, and its behaviour corroborates that of the entropy of entanglement in the vicinity of near-revivals. The expectation values and higher moments of suitable quadrature variables are also examined, with reference to possible squeezing and higher order squeezing. The power spectra of the time series generated by the mean photon number are presented for initial states corresponding, respectively, to a coherent state and a photon-added coherent state. When the nonlinearity in the Hamiltonian is weak, these show signatures of quasiperiodicity.

Visualizing revivals and fractional revivals in a Kerr medium using an optical tomogram

M. Rohith, C. Sudheesh

We study theoretically optical tomograms of the time-evolved states generated by the evolution of different kinds of initial wave packets in a Kerr medium. An exact analytical expression for the optical tomogram of the quantum state at any instant during the evolution of a generic initial wave packet is derived in terms of Hermite polynomials. The time evolution of the optical tomogram is discussed for three kinds of initial states: a coherent state, an $m$-photon-added coherent state, and even and odd coherent states. We show the manifestation of revival and fractional revivals in the optical tomograms of the time-evolved states. We find that the optical tomogram of the time-evolved state at the instants of fractional revivals shows structures with sinusoidal strands. The number of sinusoidal strands in the optical tomogram of the time-evolved state at $l$-subpacket fractional revivals is $l$ times the number of sinusoidal strands present in the optical tomogram of the initial state. We also investigate the effect of decoherence on the optical tomograms of the states at the instants of fractional revivals for the initial states considered above. We consider amplitude decay and phase damping models of decoherence and show the direct manifestations of decoherence in the optical tomogram.

Generating two-modes entangled coherent states using beam splitter

Sevda Mirzaei, G. Najarbashi

Coherent state (also called Glauber state) refer to a special kind of pure quantum-mechanical state of the light field corresponding to a single resonator mode which describe closest quantum state to a classical sinusoidal wave such as a continuous laser wave. In this paper we manipulate entangled two mode coherent states using beam splitter (BS) and Kerr medium and then evaluate the amount of entanglement by concurrence measure. We show that it is possible to construct maximal entangled state by transmitting a laser beam from a BS and Kerr medium.
