Schrodinger Cat States and Quasiprobability Distributions

R. A. Brewster, J. D. Franson

Abstract

We consider the P-function of nonclassical states, such as the Schrodinger cat state, using the theory of distributions. It is seen that the P-function for this state can be given by a generalized Dirac delta function that admits complex arguments. Other nonclassical states are also considered.

Generalized delta functions and their use in quantum optics

R. A. Brewster, J. D. Franson

The Dirac delta function δ(x) is widely used in many areas of physics and mathematics. Here we consider the generalization of a Dirac delta function to allow the use of complex arguments. We show that the properties of a generalized delta function are very different from those of a Dirac delta function and that they behave more like a pole in the complex plane. We use the generalized delta function to derive the Glauber-Sudarshan P-function, P(α), for a Schrödinger cat state in a surprisingly simple form. Aside from their potential applications in classical electromagnetism and quantum optics, these results provide insight into the ability of the diagonal P-function to describe density operators with off-diagonal elements.

Reconstruction of the Wigner function of the Schrödinger-cat state via time-dependent Autler-Townes spectroscopy

Tasnim Azim, Sajid Qamar, Muhammad Suhail Zubairy

Equivalent descriptions of the quantum state of the radiation field can be formulated in terms of the quasiprobability distributions such as P-representation, Q-representation, and the Wigner distribution function. The paper presents a physical and more realistic model for the reconstruction of the Wigner distribution function of the Schrödinger-cat state using time-dependent Autler-Townes spontaneous emission spectroscopy.

Nonclassicality filters and quasiprobabilities

T. Kiesel, W. Vogel

Necessary and sufficient conditions for the nonclassicality of bosonic quantum states are formulated by introducing nonclassicality filters and nonclassicality quasiprobability distributions. Regular quasiprobabilities are constructed from characteristic functions which can be directly sampled by balanced homodyne detection. Their negativities uncover the nonclassical effects of general quantum states. The method is illustrated by visualizing the nonclassical nature of a squeezed state.

Optical Schrödinger cats with generalized coherent states

Filippo Giraldi

Canonical coherent states of a quantum harmonic oscillator have been generalized by requiring the conditions of normalizability, continuity in the label and resolution of the identity operator with a positive weight function. Superpositions of these states are considered in the present scenario as a generalization of the optical Schrödinger cat states. The Fock space is assumed to be canonical or finite-dimensional. The photon number distribution of these generalized Schrödinger cat states departs from the Poisson statistics in various ways for high photon numbers. For small nonvanishing values of the label, the photon number distribution is sub-Poissonian (nonclassical) or super-Poissonian, according to the interference properties. In fact, the sub- or super-Poissonian statistics is determined by the interplay between the relative phase and a critical value of the phase. The photon number distribution is uniquely sub-Poissonian for large values of the label.
