Wigner function and statistics of a special class of nonlinear photon states

R. Baltin, Vladimir I. Man’ko

The Wigner function and statistical means are given for special one mode photon states and related generalized Schrodinger cats. The states are generated from the vacuum by exponential operators with exponents containing up to the fourth power of quadrature p. All statistical means are expressed in closed analytical form.

Optical Schrödinger cats with generalized coherent states

Filippo Giraldi

Canonical coherent states of a quantum harmonic oscillator have been generalized by requiring the conditions of normalizability, continuity in the label and resolution of the identity operator with a positive weight function. Superpositions of these states are considered in the present scenario as a generalization of the optical Schrödinger cat states. The Fock space is assumed to be canonical or finite-dimensional. The photon number distribution of these generalized Schrödinger cat states departs from the Poisson statistics in various ways for high photon numbers. For small nonvanishing values of the label, the photon number distribution is sub-Poissonian (nonclassical) or super-Poissonian, according to the interference properties. In fact, the sub- or super-Poissonian statistics is determined by the interplay between the relative phase and a critical value of the phase. The photon number distribution is uniquely sub-Poissonian for large values of the label.

Entangling Schrödinger Cats: Methods, Measures, and Statistics

Mayer A. Landau, Carlos R. Stroud

We study wavepacket entanglement using generalized Schrödinger cat states of collections of oscillators with time dependent coupling. Entanglement is characterized as a function of pulse area using a generalized entanglement measure, and generalized displacement operator.

Quantum correlation coeffi cient for position and momentum

Richard A. Campos

We study the general statistical measures of covariance and correlation coefficient for noncommuting quantum observables as exemplified by position and momentum operators in quantum optics. High values of the position-momentum quantum correlation coefficient are achievable with two-photon coherent states and Schrödinger cat states of the electromagnetic field for parametric values which renounce quadrature squeezing. We discuss quantum-optical paradigms to detect these measures.
