Superposition of nonlinear coherent states on a sphere

Abstract

In this paper, by using the nonlinear coherent states on a sphere, we introduce superposition of the aforementioned coherent states. Then, we consider quantum optical properties of these new superposed states and compare these properties with the corresponding properties of the nonlinear coherent states on the sphere. Specifically, we investigate their characteristics function, photon-number distribution, Mandel parameter, quadrature squeezing, anti-bunching effect and Wigner function, and obtain the curvature effect on the properties of the superposed states. Finally, by using the trapped atom system, we introduce a theoretical scheme to generate superposition of the coherent states on the sphere.

Curvature effects on the interaction of nonlinear sphere coherent states with a three-level atom

Ali Mahdifar, Marzie Jamshidi Farsani, M. Bagheri Harouni

In this paper, we consider the interaction of the nonlinear coherent states (CSs) on a sphere with a three-level atom. Since these generalized CSs depend on the curvature of the sphere, this model enables us to investigate the curvature effects of the physical space. By using the time-dependent state of the atom-field system, we first study the curvature effects on the occupation probabilities of the atomic levels. We especially study the relation between the revival time of the atomic occupation probabilities and the curvature. Then, to study the curvature effects on the dynamical properties of the cavity field, we consider photon distributions, correlation functions, and Mandel parameters of the field. The cavity field in this atom-field system exhibits nonclassical features which depend on the curvature of the physical space.

Properties of new even and odd nonlinear coherent states with different parameters

Cheng Zhang, Rui-Jiao Miao, Xiao-Qiu Qi

We construct a class of nonlinear coherent states (NLCSs) by introducing a more general nonlinear function and study their nonclassical properties, specifically the second-order correlation function [Formula: see text], Mandel parameter Q, squeezing, amplitude-squared squeezing and Wigner function of the optical field. The results indicate that the nonclassical properties of the new types of even and odd NLCSs crucially depend on the nonlinear functions. More concretely, we find that the new even NLCSs could exhibit the photon-bunching effect, whereas the new odd NLCSs could show the photon-antibunching effect. The degree of squeezing is also significantly affected by the parameter selection of these NLCSs. By employing various forms of nonlinear functions, it becomes possible to construct the NLCSs with diverse properties, thereby providing a theoretical foundation for the corresponding experimental investigations.

Superposition of excited coherent states and their non-classical properties

Lan Hai-jiang

The superposition of excited coherent states was constructed by superpositioning two excited coherent states of the same intensity and mutual phase conjugation,and their Wigner functions,second-order coherence degree and Mandel Q factors were calculated,upon which their non-classical properties were analyzed.The numerical results show that,the Wigner functions of the superposition of excited coherent states may become negative,and their second-order coherence degree and Mandel Q factors are both less than 1.Hence,the research shows that the quasi-probability distribution of the superposition of excited coherent states may become negative,and their light field has anti-bunching effects,with the distribution of photon number being of sub-Poisson distribution.Therefore,these superposition states are quantum states with non-classical properties.

The Quantum Properties of Coherent States Superposed with Squeezed States

Song Tong-Qiang

Based on the quantum superposition principle,we construct a new type of superposition composed of coherent state and squeezed state |φ=N(|α+eiφ|βg);and study its squeezing effect and photon anti-bunching effect.The results show that this kind of superposition exhibits fluent quantum properties.When superposed as even/odd coherent states,the superposition exhibits some properties of both even/odd coherent states and squeezed even/odd coherent states.The even/odd coherent and coherent state can be obtained as a special case when the squeezed factor r is zero.

Photon-added and photon-subtracted coherent states on a sphere

Ali Mahdifar, E. Amooghorban, M. Jafari

In this paper, we construct the m-photon-added and m-photon-subtracted coherent states on a sphere. These states are shown to satisfy the usual conditions of continuity in the label, normalizability, and the resolution of identity. The preparation of the constructed states, as the states of the radiation field, is considered. We examine and analyze the nonclassical properties of these states, including the photon mean number, Mandel parameter, and quadrature squeezing. We find that these states are sub-Poissonian in nature, whereas the degree of squeezing is reduced (enhanced) by increasing m for the photon-added (photon-subtracted) coherent states on a sphere. The results also exhibit that the curvature of the sphere contributes to the enhancement of nonclassical behavior of the photon-added and photon-subtracted coherent states on the sphere.

Thermal nonlinear coherent states on a flat space and on a sphere

H. Bagheri, Ali Mahdifar

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.
