Abstract

We carried out a comparative study of the phase space evolution of SU(2) and SU(1,1) coherent states generated by the same nonlinear two-mode Hamiltonian. We analyze the dynamics of the Wigner functions in the respective phase spaces and discuss the principal associated physical effects: the squeezing of the appropriate observables and the Schrödinger’s cat state generation characteristic of both the considered symmetry groups.

Non-linear wave packet dynamics of coherent states of various symmetry groups

J. Banerji, G. S. Agarwal

We present a comparative study of the non-linear wave packet dynamics of two-mode coherent states of the Heisenberg-Weyl group, the SU(1,1) group and the SU(2) group under the action of a model anharmonic Hamiltonian. In each case, we find certain generic signatures of non-linear evolution such as quick onset of decoherence followed by Schrödinger cat formation and revival. We also report important differences in the evolution of coherent states belonging to different symmetry groups.

Quantum engineering and nonclassical properties of SU(1,1) and SU(2) entangled nonlinear coherent states

Amir Karimi, Mohammad Kazem Tavassoly

In this paper, after a brief review on the entangled coherent state, a general form of the entangled nonlinear coherent state has been introduced based on the nonlinear coherent states approach. By choosing particular f-deformation functions, theoretical schemes for generation of two distinct classes of such states associated with SU(1,1) and SU(2) groups are presented. The entanglement characteristic of the corresponding entangled coherent states has been studied by evaluating the concurrence. In the continuation, other nonclassical behaviors of the produced states have been analyzed by investigating sub-Poissonian photon statistics, the oscillatory photon number distribution, one- and two-mode quadrature squeezing, and sum and difference squeezing. Accordingly, in addition to their entanglement property, other nonclassicality features of the introduced states are well established in detail.

Linear canonical transformations of coherent and squeezed states in the Wigner phase space. III. Two-mode states

D. Han, Y. S. Kim, Marilyn E. Noz

It is shown that the basic symmetry of two-mode squeezed states is governed by the group Sp(4) in the Wigner phase space which is locally isomorphic to the (3+2)-dimensional Lorentz group. This symmetry, in the Schr\"odinger picture, appears as Dirac's two-oscillator representation of O(3,2). It is shown that the SU(2) and SU(1,1) interferometers exhibit the symmetry of this higher-dimensional Lorentz group. The mathematics of two-mode squeezed states is shown to be applicable to other branches of physics including thermally excited states in statistical mechanics and relativistic extended hadrons in the quark model.

Phase-space behavior of physical nonlinear coherent states

Mustapha Ziane, Abdessamad Belfakir, Erik Díaz-Bautista +2 more

Abstract In this paper, we construct the generalized su(1, 1) nonlinear coherent states for particular physical systems. We study the behavior of the Wigner function for coherent states built from differential operators that satisfy either a generalized Heisenberg algebra or a generalized su(1, 1) nonlinear algebra. The systems studied are the harmonic oscillator and those ones associated with Pöschl-Teller potentials. The results show that the Wigner function for the associated nonlinear coherent states is positive for small values of their convergence radius. Furthermore, the Wigner function for these coherent states depends on the corresponding algebraic structure.

Two-modeSU(2) andSU(2) schrödinger cat states

Christopher C. Gerry, R. Grobe

We study the non-classical properties of Schrödinger cat states given as superpositions of two-mode SU(1, 1) and SU(2) coherent states. The SU(1, 1) and SU(2) coherent states themselves have strong non-classical properties and we find that these properties are enhanced at least for some superpositions. We propose a method of generating such states in the context of cavity quantum electrodynamics.

Qutrit squeezing via semiclassical evolution

Andrei B Klimov, Hossein T. Dinani, Zachari E D Medendorp +1 more

We introduce a concept of squeezing in collective qutrit systems through a geometrical picture connected to the deformation of the isotropic fluctuations of su (3) operators when evaluated in a coherent state. This kind of squeezing can be generated by Hamiltonians nonlinear in the generators of su (3) algebra. A simplest model of such a nonlinear evolution is analyzed in terms of semiclassical evolution of the SU (3) Wigner function.
