New generating function formulae of even- and odd-Hermite polynomials obtained and applied in the context of quantum optics
Hong-Yi Fan, De-Hui Zhan
Abstract
By combining the operator Hermite polynomial method and the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators, for the first time we derive the generating function of even- and odd-Hermite polynomials which will be useful in constructing new optical field states. We then show that the squeezed state and photon-added squeezed state can be expressed by even- and odd-Hermite polynomials.
