Nonclassicality of entangled Schrödinger cat states associated to generalized displaced Fock states

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we introduce some distinct classes of entangled cat states associated to generalized displaced Fock states. For this purpose, we use the formalism of nonlinear coherent states corresponding to nonlinear oscillator algebra which yields various kinds of f-deformed entangled states. We also take a particular class of Gilmore-Perelomov-type of SU(1, 1) and a class of SU(2) coherent states. We then obtain the amount of entanglement between subsystems of the quantum states of interest by applying the measure of concurrence. Furthermore, examining some of the most important criteria, such as Mandels Q parameter, quadrature squeezing and Vogels characteristic function, we study the nonclassicality of the introduced quantum states. The numerical results show remarkable values of entanglement, sub-Poissonian statistics of the field, and squeezing indicating that the introduced states can be regarded as possible candidates for nonclassical entangled states. Afterwards, we see that the Vogel function for quantum states of interests goes beyond the value of characteristic function of the ground state, which shows the nonclassicality of the introduced states.

Generalized Photon Added and Subtracted f ‐Deformed Displaced Fock States

Mohammad Javad Faghihi

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.

Phase space nonclassicality and sub-Poissonianity of deformed photon-added nonlinear cat states: algebraic and group theoretical approach

Sogand Torkzadeh-Tabrizi, Mohammad Javad Faghihi, Gholamreza Honarasa

In this Letter, we introduce four distinct classes of f-deformed photon-added nonlinear cat state. This would be achieved by recalling a nonlinear coherent states approach, as well as a particular class of Gilmore-Perelomov-type of SU(1,1) coherent state and a class of SU(2) coherent state. We then examine the role of photon addition and nonlinearity functions in the phase space structure and sub-Poissonianity of even, odd, and Yurke-Stoler nonlinear cat states. The effect of photon addition, which results in a π phase shift at the origin of the Wigner function toward negativity, interestingly enhances the nonclassicality by means of the Wigner function and Mandel parameter. Furthermore, owing to photon addition, we can observe a deformation in the Gaussian shape of the Wigner function, which may be found to be potentially useful in quantum noise reduction. Moreover, the deformation function shows a remarkable role in revealing the nonclassical behavior and can increase the depth and the domain of nonclassicality.

Algebraic and group treatments to nonlinear displaced number states and their nonclassicality features: A new approach

N Asili Firouzabadi, M K Tavassoly, M J Faghihi

Recently, nonlinear displaced number states (NDNSs) have been manually introduced, in which the deformation function f ( n ) has been artificially added to the previously well-known displaced number states (DNSs). Indeed, just a simple comparison has been performed between the standard coherent state and nonlinear coherent state for the formation of NDNSs. In the present paper, after expressing enough physical motivation of our procedure, four distinct classes of NDNSs are presented by applying algebraic and group treatments. To achieve this purpose, by considering the DNSs and recalling the nonlinear coherent states formalism, the NDNSs are logically defined through an algebraic consideration. In addition, by using a particular class of Gilmore–Perelomov-type of SU (1, 1) and a class of SU (2) coherent states, the NDNSs are introduced via group-theoretical approach. Then, in order to examine the nonclassical behavior of these states, sub-Poissonian statistics by evaluating Mandel parameter and Wigner quasi-probability distribution function associated with the obtained NDNSs are discussed, in detail.

Noncommutative q -photon-added coherent states

Sanjib Dey, Véronique Hussin

We construct the photon-added coherent states of a noncommutative harmonic oscillator associated to a $q$-deformed oscillator algebra. Various nonclassical properties of the corresponding system are explored, first, by studying two different types of higher-order quadrature squeezing, namely, the Hillery type and the Hong-Mandel type, and second, by testing the sub-Poissonian nature of photon statistics in higher order with the help of the correlation function and the Mandel parameter. Also, we compare the behavior of different types of quadrature and photon number squeezing of our system with those of the ordinary harmonic oscillator by considering the same set of parameters.

Two-mode photon added Schrödinger cat states: nonclassicality and entanglement

S. Nibedita Swain, Yashovardhan Jha, Prasanta Kumar Panigrahi

The concept of a photon added two-mode Schrödinger cat state in which both modes are independent is introduced, and their nonclassical properties and entanglement are studied. The introduced states emerge as eigenstates of f 1 f 2 a 1 a 2 , where f 1 , f 2 are nonlinear functions of the number operator, and a 1 , a 2 are annihilation operators. We study the evolution of these states under canonical transformation using the parity operator for the case of standard coherent states of the harmonic oscillator. The nonclassical properties of these states are evaluated especially by considering sub-Poissonian photon statistics and photon number distribution. Interestingly, the addition of photons leads to shifting the region in which photon number distribution shows oscillatory behavior. In addition, the entanglement of introduced states is quantitatively analyzed using concurrence. We observe that the state approaches maximum entanglement more rapidly after the addition of photons.

Four-photon nonlinear coherent states

O. Abbasi, Akbar Jafari

We have introduced the notion of ‘four-photon nonlinear coherent states’ (FPNCSs) as right eigenstates of the fourth power of the generalized annihilation operator A4. It has been shown that there are four possible sets of such states which all can be expressed as the deformed Schrödinger cat type states derived from the superposition of four nonlinear coherent states (NCSs) which are π/2 out of phase. The nonclassical properties of the FPNCSs would be studied for two well-known quantum systems, a Kerr-like medium and a trapped laser-driven ion far from the Lamb-Dicke regime. We have found that the depth or the domain of the nonclassical features of FPNCSs in terms of sub-Poissonian photon statistics, higher order squeezing as well as amplitude-squared squeezing are higher than the corresponding standard states. Specifically, the proposed states in this paper exhibit sub-Poissonian statistics over an extensive range of real amplitudes which is in contrast with the lower level of sub-Poissonian characteristics of four-photon standard coherent states. Also the depth or domain of the nonclassical features of the FPNCSs can be modified by changing the magnitude of the nonlinearity parameters. Analysis of the quasi-probability distributions like Glauber–Sudarshan P-function, Husimi Q-function and Wigner distribution function verifies the nonclassical nature of the presented states. Studying the cavity field evolution in the interaction of a single two-level atom with an even NCS in the framework of f-deformed Jaynes-Cummings model shows that such a system can potentially be considered as a possible source for generating the proposed states.
