Abstract

In this paper, we study some non-classical properties and propose the generation schemes of the superposition of multiple-photon-added two-mode squeezed vacuum state (SMPA-TMSVS). Based on the Wigner function, we clarify that this state is a non-Gaussian state, while the original two-mode squeezed vacuum state (TMSVS) is a Gaussian state. Besides, the SMPA-TMSVS is sum squeezing, as well as difference squeezing. In particular, the manifestation of the sum squeezing and the difference squeezing in the SMPA-TMSVS becomes more pronounced when increasing parameters r and e. In addition, by exploiting the schemes of photon-added superposition in the usual order, we give some schemes that the SMPA-TMSVS can be generated with the higher-order photon-added superposition by using some optical devices.

Enhanced quantum features of non-Gaussian states by applying a two-mode squeezing operator to two generalized single-mode squeezed vacuum states

Abstract This paper investigates the quantum features of non-Gaussian states generated by applying a two-mode squeezing operator S ˆ a b ( s ) to two generalized single-mode squeezed vacuum states (SVSs), each formed by the superposition of an SVS and a single–photon–subtracted SVS. The results show that, in the new states, the two-mode squeezing effect, the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) correlation, the Hillery–Zubairy entanglement, and the linear entropy are all enhanced as the two-mode squeezing parameter s increases. Moreover, both the degrees of squeezing and entanglement are improved and exceed those of the two-mode squeezed vacuum state (TMSVS) for stronger single-mode squeezing parameters. The optimal conditions for achieving such enhancements are identified for different regimes, depending on whether the generalized SVSs are purely Gaussian, maximally non-Gaussian, or intermediate states. In an application, the quantum Cramér–Rao bound (QCRB) is evaluated when the non-Gaussian states are employed as inputs to a Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI). The results further demonstrate that the enhanced phase sensitivity in the MZI originates from both the squeezing strengths and the intrinsic photon-subtraction operation. These findings highlight the potential of the new non-Gaussian states as promising resources for quantum metrology and quantum sensing.

Mode-selective photon-added two-mode squeezed vacuum state and its entanglement properties

Heng-Mei Li, Zhen Wang, Jianwen Cai +2 more

Abstract A class of non-Gaussian entangled states is introduced by applying the nonlocal single-photon addition to two-mode squeezed vacuum state and the properties of entanglement are numerically investigated according to linear entropy and Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) steering. After the nonlocal single-photon addition operation, Wigner function of the generated state appears some negative region and loses its Gaussian property in phase space. In essence, non-Gaussian entangled states are generated after applying nonlocal single-photon addition. Additionally, by studying the linear entropy and EPR steering, we find that single-photon addition can enhance their entanglement degree and non-Gaussian steering can be witnessed in a large range of squeezing parameter for the second-order quadratures, which may provide a well application in the fields of quantum information processing.

Application and quantum properties of superpositions of oppositely squeezed states

Hiroo Azuma, William J. Munro, Kae Nemoto

We show that superpositions of oppositely squeezed states -- non-Gaussian Schr{ö}dinger-cat-like states -- exhibit enhanced nonclassical features and provide an entanglement advantage in the small-squeezing regime. These states possess photon-number structures distinct from conventional coherent-state cat states, and we analyze their Wigner functions and the entanglement generated when they are injected into a 50-50 beam splitter. As a practical application, we demonstrate that they enable a high-quality heralded single-photon source whose second-order intensity correlation function is smaller than that obtained from a pure two-mode squeezed vacuum state. We further propose a linear-optical heralding scheme that approximates these superpositions without requiring strong Kerr nonlinearities. Our results indicate that the superposition of oppositely squeezed states is a promising non-Gaussian resource for quantum information processing, particularly for single-photon generation.

Enhancement of non-Gaussianity and nonclassicality of pair coherent states by superposition of photon addition and subtraction

Ho Sy Chuong, Truong Minh Duc

Abstract Pair coherent states (PCSs) as a kind of two-mode non-Gaussian and nonclassical states were introduced and studied. Some nonclassical characteristics of them such as two-mode sum-squeezing, two-mode antibunching, and entanglement have been well investigated. In this paper, we focus on studying the superposition of photon addition and subtraction to the PCSs called superposition of photon-added and photon-subtracted pair coherent states (SPAPSPCSs). Our main purpose is to show that the non-Gaussian feature and all the above-mentioned nonclassical properties of the SPAPSPCSs can be enhanced compared with the photon-added-and-subtracted two modes pair coherent states (PAASTMPCSs) and the original PCSs. In general, we demonstrate that the SPAPSPCSs have more enhanced non-Gaussian character and nonclassical properties than the PCSs and the PAASTMPCSs by examining the negativity of the Wigner function. Specifically, we indicate that both the SPAPSPCSs and the PAASTMPCSs can exist in two-mode sum-squeezing while the original PCSs (without photon-addition and photon-subtraction) cannot, and the degree of squeezing is stronger in the SPAPSPCSs than in the PAASTMPCSs. The obtained results also indicate that the superposition of photon addition and subtraction of the SPAPSPCSs plays a vital role in enhancing the two-mode antibunching property and the entanglement degree compared with the PCSs and the PAASTMPCSs.

Analytical construction of two-mode squeezed vacuum states with two tunable parameters

Gang Ren, Hai-jun Yu, Chunzao Zhang

We theoretically construct a two-parameter two-mode squeezing operator by combining the two-mode coupled harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian with beam splitter transformations. A novel two-mode squeezed vacuum state (NTMSVS) is generated via the application of this operator to the two-mode vacuum state. Numerical investigations demonstrate that the NTMSVS exhibits intermediate properties between the conventional two-mode squeezed vacuum state (TMSVS) and the product state of two independent single-mode squeezed vacua across multiple quantum metrics, including Wigner distribution characteristics, logarithmic negativity, EPR steering robustness and Bell inequality violation. Notably, the quadrature squeezing and sum squeezing amplitudes are significantly amplified under specific parametric regimes, offering enhanced nonclassicality compared to standard squeezed states.
