Abstract

The time evolution of even and odd squeezed states, as well as that of squeezed number states, has been given in simple, analytic form. This follows experimental work on trapped ions which has demonstrated even and odd coherent states, number states, and squeezed (but not displaced) ground states. We review this situation and consider the extension to even and odd squeezed number states. Questions of uncertainty relations are also discussed.

Hong-Yi Fan, Zhongxi Zhang

We propose and study a new kind of superposition states: even- and odd-displaced squeezed states, defined as and , which are characteristic of possessing even and odd photon numbers respectively. We find that the even-displaced squeezed state may exhibit stronger squeezing than that of the ordinary squeezed state .

Nonclassical Properties of the Even and Odd Intermediate Number Squeezed States

Barnana Roy

The even and odd intermediate number squeezed states are introduced. These states reduce to even (odd) number states and even (odd) squeezed coherent states in different limits. It is shown that these states exhibit nonclassical effects such as sub (super) Poissonian statistics, quadrature squeezing, antibunching for certain ranges of the parameters involved.

Nonclassical statistical properties of fields in squeezed even and squeezed odd coherent states

Kaicheng Zhu, Xiangru Li, Qin Wang

We examine the nonclassical statistical properties of the squeezed even and the squeezed odd coherent states defined by the superposed states involving two squeezed coherent states with phase difference π between their displacement parameters. We demonstrate that the fields in the squeezed even coherent state can exhibit a remarkably enhanced squeezing level and mean photon number in comparison with the input squeezed coherent state. We also give examples of physical processes that lead to such a superposition.

Even/odd coherent states can be generated from a vacuum in the following way \\a±)=D(a±)\\0), (9) where even/odd displacement operators read [1,7] D(a+) = cosh( Both even and odd coherent states are normalized eigenstates of operator a2 a2\\a±)=a2\\a±), (10) where a is an arbitrary complex number. It is worth mentioning that by applying \noperator a to an even coherent state |a+), one obtains an odd coherent state with \nthe same label a, but with a different normalization constant: a\\a+) = Q\\/tanh\\a\\ 2 |a_). (11) Similarly, \na\\a-) — axjcoth\\a\\2 |a+). (12) The decomposition of the even and odd coherent states in terms of number \nstates can be obtained by using equation (3) | a + ) = T V V ^ l V s ^ 1 + ( - ! ) " Q > ) , ( 1 3 ) |a_> - 7 V _ e - l a l 2 / 2 ^ 1 ^ 1 z l ^ Q n | n ) . ( 1 4 ) The even coherent state can only be expressed in terms of even number states \nand the odd coherent state can only be expressed in terms of odd number states. \nConsequently, the probability of finding an odd number of photons in the even \ncoherent states equals zero, as does the probability of finding an even number of \nphotons in the odd coherent states. Thus the probability distribution functions for \nthese states strongly oscillate: \\a\\4k \nfor n=2k P(+)(n) = \\ coshH 2 (2 fc ) ! \n0 for n=2k+l \n0 for n=2k P ( _)(n) = ( | a | W L sinh|a:| 2(2£; + l ) ! \nfor n=2k+l Expectation values of the first-order moments for the annihilation and creation \noperators in the even and odd coherent states are equal to zero ( a ± | a | a ± ) = 0 , (15) MULTIMODE EVEN AND ODD COHERENT STATES 223 due to Eqs. (11), (12), and the orthogonality property ( a ± | a T ) = 0. The expectation values of the second-order moments are (a±\\a2\\a±) = a2, (a+\\a*a\\a+) = \\a\\2 tanh | a | 2 , (a_|a + a|a_) = \\a\\2 coth | a | 2 . (16) Defining the quadratures of the electromagnetic field mode as Xx = (a + a f ) /2 , X2 = (a-a f ) /(2i), one obtains the following expressions for their variances in the even coherent state: 4 A X 2 = 2\\a\\2 tanh \\a\\2 + 2 |a | 2 cos 20 + 1, (17) 4 A X 2 = 2 |a | 2 tanh \\a\\2 - 2\\a\\2 cos 261 + 1. (18) We have introduced the modulus and phase of the complex coherent state amplitude as a=|a|e^. Eqs. (17) and (18) show that for 9=TT/2 the first quadrature \nhas some amount of squeezing for small values of |a | , while for 0=0 the second \nquadrature is squeezed. There is a possibility of squeezing alternatively in both the \nquadratures depending upon the phase of the complex amplitude a. For odd coherent states we get the same expressions as in (17) and (18), but tanh \\ a\\2 should \nbe replaced by coth \\ a\\2. Also, odd coherent states do not exhibit the property of \nsecond-order squeezing.
