Coherent states and their generalizations are normally appropriate candidates for describing radiation fields. Despite this, the effect of thermal noise on generalized coherent states has not been extensively studied. In fact, thermal effects are unavoidable at finite temperatures, and they should be taken into account to have a better agreement with experimental results. In this regard, we use the concept of thermal coherent states, which are indeed the standard coherent states including thermal effects. So, in this paper, by using a nonlinear coherent states approach, we generalize the thermal coherent states to their nonlinear counterparts. In other words, we find a natural link between the thermal coherent states and the nonlinear coherent states associated with nonlinear oscillator algebra. Afterwards, the nonclassicality features of the obtained states are numerically investigated to explore the roles of both nonlinearity and thermal noise in physical properties. The results show that the thermal effects lead to the transition from nonclassical states to classical ones. Moreover, it is seen that the operator-valued intensity-dependent function plays a leading role in controlling the depth as well as the domain of nonclassicality aspects.

In this paper, we first define thermal nonlinear coherent states on a sphere and show that these states are essentially two-mode squeezed nonlinear coherent states of the sphere at zero temperature. Then we consider quantum statistical properties of the thermal sphere nonlinear coherent states. In particular, we investigate temperature effects on transition of the constructed states from nonclassical states to classical ones. By using the Mandel parameter, we obtain a transition temperature and show that this transition temperature increases by increasing the curvature of the physical space. It turns out that, increasing curvature of the space provides nonlinear coherent states with nonclassical properties in higher temperature ranges.
In this paper, we study the quantum interaction between a moving two-level atom and a single-mode quantized field in an optical cavity with degenerate multi-photon transition, in the presence of intensity-dependent coupling and thermal effect. We introduce the appropriate Hamiltonian of the system, and we adopt the initial condition of subsystems, in which the atom is prepared in an arbitrary superposition of ground and excited states, and the field is considered in a thermal state. Consequently, we determine the density matrix of the entire system at any given time. We further assess some of the most important quantum properties, such as quantum coherence, sub-Poissonian statistics, and phase-space nonclassicality by means of negativity of the Wigner quasiprobability distribution function. We then investigate the impact of intensity-dependent nonlinearity, thermal noise, atomic motion, and multi-photon transition on these quantum properties. The numerical results show that the nonclassicality criteria can be significantly influenced and controlled by the effects discussed above. Interestingly, increasing the mean thermal photon number, which highlights the thermal effect, can, in some cases, enhance the nonclassicality features of the system.
Abstract In this paper, by making use of the nonlinear coherent states approach, the generalized photon added and subtracted f ‐deformed displaced Fock states are introduced. In other words, a natural link between photon added and subtracted displaced Fock states and nonlinear coherent states associated with nonlinear oscillator algebra is obtained. It is found that various kinds of nonclassical states can be generated by adopting appropriately controlling parameters in both linear and nonlinear regimes. Moreover, examining some of the most nonclassical properties such as Mandel's Q parameter, different types of squeezing, namely, quadrature, amplitude–squared and phase entropic squeezing, and Vogel's characteristic function, the nonclassicality features of the considered quantum states of interest are studied. Furthermore, to obtain the degree of quantum coherence, the relative entropy of coherence is investigated. Indeed, the nonclassicality aspects of the states obtained have been numerically studied to understand the roles of deformation functions, photons added and subtracted, and photon number occupied in the Fock state on physical properties. It is demonstrated that the depth and the domain of the nonclassicality features of the system can properly be controlled by selecting the suitable parameters.
In this paper, two distinct classes of generalized deformed Kerr states are introduced by considering the standard and deformed Kerr mediums, when the initial field state that enters the Kerr medium has been prepared in the well-known nonlinear coherent state. Indeed, the conversion of the third-order susceptibility of the (standard) Kerr medium to its deformed counterpart via an intensity-dependent function K ( n ) is performed. Interestingly, the obtained generalized states are still of f -deformed type, with a special form of the nonlinearity function. Some physical realizations of the proposed approach are presented. Finally, the nonclassicality features, the quantum phase properties and the autocorrelation function of the introduced states are studied numerically.
The original idea of quantum optical spring arises from the requirement of quantization of the frequency of oscillations in the Hamiltonian of harmonic oscillator. This purpose is achieved by considering a spring whose constant (and so its frequency) depends on the quantum states of another system. Recently, it is realized that by the assumption of frequency modulation of ω to the mentioned idea can be established. In the present paper, we generalize the approach of quantum optical spring with particular attention to the dependence of frequency to the intensity of radiation field that naturally observes in the nonlinear coherent states, from which we arrive at a physical system has been called by us as nonlinear quantum optical spring. Then, after the introduction of the generalized Hamiltonian of nonlinear quantum optical spring and it's solution, we will investigate the nonclassical properties of the obtained states. Specially, typical collapse and revival in the distribution functions and squeezing parameters, as particular quantum features, will be revealed.
The purposes of this work are (1) to show that the appropriate generalizations of the oscillator algebra permit the construction of a wide set of nonlinear coherent states in unified form and (2) to clarify the likely contradiction between the nonclassical properties of such nonlinear coherent states and the possibility of finding a classical analog for them since they are P -represented by a delta function. In (1) we prove that a class of nonlinear coherent states can be constructed to satisfy a closure relation that is expressed uniquely in terms of the Meijer G -function. This property automatically defines the delta distribution as the P -representation of such states. Then, in principle, there must be a classical analog for them. Among other examples, we construct a family of nonlinear coherent states for a representation of the su(1,1) Lie algebra that is realized as a deformation of the oscillator algebra. In (2) , we use a beam splitter to show that the nonlinear coherent states exhibit properties like antibunching that prohibit a classical description for them. We also show that these states lack second-order coherence. That is, although the P -representation of the nonlinear coherent states is a delta function, they are not full coherent. Therefore, the systems associated with the generalized oscillator algebras cannot be considered “classical” in the context of the quantum theory of optical coherence.
