Abstract

The primary aim of the present paper is to attract the attention of particle physicists to new developments in studying squeezed and correlated states of the electromagnetic field as well as of those working on the latest topic to new findings about multiplicity distributions in quantum chromodynamics. The new types of nonclassical states used in quantum optics as squeezed states, correlated states, even and odd coherent states (Schrödinger cat states) for one--mode and multimode interaction are reviewed. Their distribution functions are analyzed according to the method used first for multiplicity distributions in high energy particle interactions. The phenomenon of oscillations of particle distribution functions of the squeezed fields is described and confronted to the phenomenon of oscillations of cumulant moments of some distributions for squeezed and correlated field states. Possible extension of the method to fields different from the electromagnetic field (gluons, pions, etc.) is speculated.

Even and odd coherent states (Schrödinger cat states) for multimode parametric systems

Dodonov, Vladimir I. Man’ko, Dmitri E. Nikonov

The multimode even and odd coherent states (multimode Schroedinger cat states) are constructed for polymode parametric oscillators of the electromagnetic field. The evolution of the photon distribution function is evaluated explicitly. The distribution function is expressed in terms of the multivariable Hermite polynomials, its means and dispersions are calculated. The conditions for the existence of squeezing are formulated. The correlations among the different modes of Schroedinger cat states are studied.

`Nonclassical' states in quantum optics: a `squeezed' review of the first 75 years

V. V. Dodonov

Seventy five years ago, three remarkable papers by Schrödinger, Kennard and Darwin were published. They were devoted to the evolution of Gaussian wave packets for an oscillator, a free particle and a particle moving in uniform constant electric and magnetic fields. From the contemporary point of view, these packets can be considered as prototypes of the coherent and squeezed states, which are, in a sense, the cornerstones of modern quantum optics. Moreover, these states are frequently used in many other areas, from solid state physics to cosmology. This paper gives a review of studies performed in the field of so-called `nonclassical states' (squeezed states are their simplest representatives) over the past seventy five years, both in quantum optics and in other branches of quantum physics. My starting point is to elucidate who introduced different concepts, notions and terms, when, and what were the initial motivations of the authors. Many new references have been found which enlarge the `standard citation package' used by some authors, recovering many undeservedly forgotten (or unnoticed) papers and names. Since it is practically impossible to cite several thousand publications, I have tried to include mainly references to papers introducing new types of quantum states and studying their properties, omitting many publications devoted to applications and to the methods of generation and experimental schemes, which can be found in other well known reviews. I also mainly concentrate on the initial period, which terminated approximately at the border between the end of the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s, when several fundamental experiments on the generation of squeezed states were performed and the first conferences devoted to squeezed and `nonclassical' states commenced. The 1990s are described in a more `squeezed' manner: I have confined myself to references to papers where some new concepts have been introduced, and to the most recent reviews or papers with extensive bibliographical lists.

Introduction to quantum optics

Vladimir I. Man’ko

The theory of quantum propagator and time‐dependent integrals of motion in quantum optics is reviewed as well as the properties of the Wigner function, Q‐function, and coherent state representation. Propagators and wave functions of the free particle, the harmonic oscillator, and the oscillator with varying frequency are studied using time‐dependent integrals of motion linear in position and momentum. Such nonclassical states of light (of quantum systems) as squeezed states, correlated states, even and odd coherent states (Schrödinger cat states) are considered. Photon distribution functions of Schrödinger cat male and female states are given, and the photon distribution function of squeezed vacuum is derived using the theory of the oscillator with varying parameters. Properties of multivariable Hermite polynomials used for the description of the multimode squeezed and correlated light and polymode Schrödinger cats are studied.
