Non-Gaussianity and decoherence of generalized photon-added coherent state as a Hermite-excited coherent state

Abstract

Generalized photon-added coherent state (GPACS) is obtained by repeatedly acting the combination of Bose creation and annihilation operations on the coherent state. It is found that GPACS can be regarded as a Hermite-excited coherent state due to its normalization factor related to a Hermite polynomial. In addition, we adopt the Hilbert—Schmidt distance to quantify the non-Gaussian character of GPACS and discuss the decoherence of GPACS in dissipative channel by studying the loss of nonclassicality in reference of the negativity of Wigner function.

Generalized photon-added coherent state and its quantum statistical properties

Yuan Hong-Chun, Xue-xiang Xu, Fan Hong‐Yi

In this paper, we propose a class of the generalized photon-added coherent states (GPACSs) obtained by repeatedly operating the combination of Bosonic creation and annihilation operatoes on the coherent state. The normalization factor of GPACS is related to Hermite polynomial. We also derive the explicit expressions of its statistical properties such as photocount distribution, Wigner function and tomogram and investigate their behaviour as the photon-added number varies graphically. It is found that GPACS is a kind of nonclassical state since Wigner function exhibits the negativity by increasing the photon-added number.

PHOTON-NUMBER DISTRIBUTION AND WIGNER FUNCTION OF GENERALIZED PHOTON-MODULATED COHERENT STATE

Jun Zhou, Shuai Wang, Jun Song +1 more

In this paper, we present the generalized photon-modulated coherent state (GPMCS) generated by repeatedly operating the combination of Bosonic creation and annihilation operators on the coherent state. It is found that the GPMCS is a Hermite-excited coherent state and its normalization factor is related to single-variable Hermite polynomials. Furthermore, some significant quantum statistical properties of the GPMCS are investigated, such as photon-number distribution (PND) and the Wigner function (WF). We find that the WF of the GPMCS has negative values when the generalized photon-modulation exists, which implies the nonclassical properties of the GPMCS.

A new type of photon-added squeezed coherent state and its statistical properties

周军, 范洪义, 宋军

We construct a new type of photon-added squeezed coherent state generated by repeatedly operating the bosonic creation operator on a new type of squeezed coherent state [Fan H Y and Xiao M 1996 Phys. Lett. A 220 81]. We find that its normalization factor is related to single-variable Hermite polynomials. Furthermore, we investigate its statistical properties, such as Mandel’s Q parameter, photon-number distribution, and Wigner function. The nonclassicality is displayed in terms of the intense oscillation of photon-number distribution and the negativity of the Wigner function.

Nonclassical properties of coherent state orthogonalization via Hermite polynomial excited operation

Hong‐Chun Yuan, Xue-xiang Xu, Jianwen Cai +1 more

Abstract In this work, we theoretically construct an orthogonal state of a coherent state where the orthogonalizer is based on the Hermite polynomial excited operation with H m ( x ) being a Hermite polynomial of order m and creation operator , called the Hermite-excite-orthogonalized coherent state (HEOCS). Then, in comparison with the Hermite polynomial excited coherent state (HPECS), we numerically investigate their different nonclassical properties by examining several measurable features, such as photon number distribution, sub-Poisson statistics, the antibunching effect, the quadrature squeezing effect, and the negative Wigner function. The results demonstrate that both HEOCS and HPECS are non-Gaussian quantum states with highly nonclassical characteristics by improving and modulating the order of the Hermite polynomial and coherent amplitude, which indicates that performing the Hermite-excited operation on given Gaussian states is an effective approach to generating non-Gaussian states.

Quasi-probability distributions and decoherence of Hermite-excited squeezed thermal states

Zhen Wang, Heng-Mei Li, Hong‐Chun Yuan

We theoretically put forward the Hermite-excited squeezed thermal states (HESTS) by applying operator Hermite polynomials on squeezed thermal states. Starting from the normally ordered density operator of squeezed thermal states and operator Hermite polynomials, the normalization factor is obtained, which is related to the Legendre polynomials. Several phase-space distribution functions, i.e., the Q function, P function, Wigner function (WF), and R function, are analytically derived. And the non-Gaussianity and nonclassicality are mainly reflected by the negativity of non-Gaussian WF and the existence of nonclassical depth. In addition, by deriving the normally ordered density operator and WF of HESTS in the laser channel, the decoherence effect is studied and discussed. Finally, the quantity in measuring non-Gaussianity is calculated to further quantitatively measure the non-Gaussianity of the resulting states.
