Nonclassicality and decoherence of coherent superposition operation of photon subtraction and photon addition on squeezed state

The statistical properties of m-coherent superposition operation (μa+νa⁺)^m on the single-mode squeezed vacuum state (M-SSVS) and its decoherence in a thermal environment have been studied. Converting the M-SSVS to a squeezed Hermite polynomial excitation state, we obtain a compact expression for the normalization factor of M-SSVS, which is the Legendre polynomial of the squeezing parameter. We also derive the explicit expression of Wigner function (WF) of M-SSVS, and find the negative region of WF in phase space. The decoherence effect on this state is then discussed by deriving the time evolution of the WF. Using the negativity of WF, the loss of nonclassicality has been discussed.     

The Nonclassicality and Decoherence of a Superposition State Generated in a Resonant Cavity

We discuss nonclassicality of a superposition of coherent states in terms of sub-Poissonian photon statistics as well as the negativity of the Wigner function. We derive an analytic expression for the Wigner function from which we find that the function has some negative region in phase space. We obtain a compact form of the Wigner function when decoherence occurs and study the effect of decoherence on the state. We demonstrate the behaviour of the nonclassicality indicator.     

Nonclassicality and Decoherence of Photon-added Thermo-invariant Coherent State

By introducing a kind of new quantum state—Photon-added thermo invariant coherent state (PATCS), we discuss its nonclassicality in terms of the negativity of Wigner function (WF) after deriving its analytical expression. It is found that the Wigner function is related to Lagurre-Gaussian function. We then study the effect of decoherence (a thermal environment) on the PATCS according to its WF (also related to Lagurre-Gaussian function). It is shown that it is not possible for WF to present the negative region when the decay time $\kappa t>\frac{1}{2}\ln \frac{2\bar{n}+2}{2\bar{n}+1}$\kappa t>\frac{1}{2}\ln \frac{2\bar{n}+2}{2\bar{n}+1} .     

A new type of photon-added squeezed coherent state and its statistical properties

We construct a new type of photon-added squeezed coherent state generated by repeatedly operating the bosonic creation operator on a new type of squeezed coherent state [Fan H Y and Xiao M 1996 Phys. Lett. A 220 81]. We find that its normalization factor is related to single-variable Hermite polynomials. Furthermore, we investigate its statistical properties, such as Mandel’s Q parameter, photon-number distribution, and Wigner function. The nonclassicality is displayed in terms of the intense oscillation of photon-number distribution and the negativity of the Wigner function.     

Nonclassical and non-Gaussian properties of states generated by the superposed photon added-and-subtracted operation on squeezed vacuum

A new kind of non-Gaussian quantum state is constructed by operating the superposed operator (SO) (cos θaa^† + sin θa^†a) on a squeezed vacuum state (SVS) S(r)|0〉. It is found that the SOSVS is just a superposition state between S(r)|0〉 and S(r)|2〉 with only even numbers of photons. The nonclassicality is investigated by exploring the negativity of Wigner function (WF) and the sub-Poissonian distribution of Mandel's Q-parameter. The non-Guassianity is exhibited via the fidelity between the SOSVS and the SVS and the marginal distribution of its Wigner function. It is found that such SO on the SVS can enhance the nonclassicality and change the non-Gaussianity of the SOSVS. This provides the possibility of generating quantum states with specific nonclassical and non-Gaussian properties.     

Nonclassicality and Decoherence of Photon-Subtraction Squeezing-Enhanced Thermal State

We introduce a kind of non-Gaussian state—photon-subtracted squeezing-enhanced thermal state (PSSETS) characteristics by two-squeezing parameters (λ,r). Its normalization factor is a Legendre polynomial of two-squeezing parameters and average photon number of the thermal state. The nonclassicality is investigated by using the negativity of Wigner function (WF). It is shown that the single PSSETS always has negative values when . The decoherence effect on PSSETS is then included by analytically deriving the time evolution of WF. For the single PSSETS, the characteristic time is longer than that of photon-subtracted squeezing thermal state.     

Wigner Functions for Two-Variable Hermite Polynomial States and Their Time-Evolutions Under Thermal Environment

We analytically study the Wigner function (WF) for the two-variable Hermite polynomial state (TVHPS) and the effect of decoherence on the TVHPS in thermal environment. The nonclassicality of the TVHPS is investigated in terms of the partial negativity of the WF which depends on the polynomial orders m,n and the squeezing parameter r. We also investigate how the WF for the TVHPS evolves in the thermal environment. At long times, the TVHPS decays to thermal, a mixed Gaussian state, within the thermal environment.     

Kraus Operator-Sum Representation and Time Evolution of Distribution Functions in Phase-Sensitive Reservoirs

Using the thermal entangled state representation 〈η|, we examine the master equation (ME) describing phase-sensitive reservoirs. We present the analytical expression of solution to the ME, i.e., the Kraus operator-sum representation of density operator ρ is given, and its normalization is also proved by using the IWOP technique. Further, by converting the characteristic function χ(λ) into an overlap between two “pure states” in enlarged Fock space, i.e., χ(λ)=〈η _=−λ |ρ|η ₌₀〉, we consider time evolution of distribution functions, such as Wigner, Q- and P-function. As applications, the photon-count distribution and the evolution of Wigner function of photon-added coherent state are examined in phase-sensitive reservoirs. It is shown that the Wigner function has a negative value when kt\leqslant\frac 12ln( 1+m_￥) \kappa t\leqslant\frac {1}{2}\ln ( 1+\mu_{\infty}) is satisfied, where μ _∞ depends on the squeezing parameter |M|² of environment, and increases as the increase of |M|.     

Wigner function of coherent state of N components

In this paper, we study the Wigner function of coherent state of N components, especially two components and three components. This function consists of two terms： the Gaussian term and the interference term with the negativity. The first term comprises N Gaussian surfaces evenly centred on a circle of radius ｜β｜ = ｜α｜ with a separate angle of 2π/N, and the second term is composed of 1/2N（N - 1） Gaussian-cosine surfaces evenly centred in a circular region of radius ｜β｜ 〈 ｜α｜. Here, a is the eigenvalue of the annihilation operator α, and β is a variable in some complex space in which the Wigner function is defined. We have proved that the essential condition to eliminate the negativity of the Wigner function is that the mean photon count of the coherent state is equal to that of the Glouber coherent state.
