For studying the interference between two Bose-Einstein condensates we introduce the atomic coherentstate （ACS） in the Schwinger bosonic realization along with the phase operator to directly calculate the interference pattern with steady relative phase cos Ф. Eigenstates of the density operator of condensates are classified as ACS is also demonstrated. The entangled state representation is used in some calculations.     

Alternative Scheme for Generation of Atomic SchrSdinger Cat States and Entangled Coherent States in an Optical Cavity

We propose an alternative scheme for generation of atomic Schrodinger cat states in an optical cavity. In the scheme the atoms are always populated in the two ground states and the cavity remains in the vacuum state. Therefore, the scheme is insensitive to the atomic spontaneous emission and cavity decay. The scheme may be generalized to the deterministic generation of entangled coherent states for two atomic samples. In contrast with the previously proposed schemes of [Commun. Theor. Phys. 40 （2003） 103 and Chin. our scheme is greatly shortened and thus the deeoherence can Phys. B 18 （2009） 1045], the required interaction time in be effectively suppressed.

Quantum entanglement of an entangled coherent state: Role of particle losses

We analyze entanglement properties of entangled coherent state （ECS）, ｜α,0） 1,2 ＋｜0,α） 1,2, with and without photon losses. By separating the coherent state into ]a） = co｜0） ＋ √-Co2｜α）, we derive exact results of the logarithmic negativity EN, which quantifies the degree of entanglement between the two bosonic modes. Without particle losses, E~ = 1 for the NOON state; while for the ECS, E jr increases from 0 to 1 as ｜α｜-→∞. In the presence of photon losses, we find that the ECS with large enough photon number is more robust than that of the NOON state. An optimal ECS is obtained by maximizing E~ with respect to l a 12.     

Some Properties of Two-mode Displaced Excited Squeezed Vacuum States

In this paper, two-mode displaced excited squeezed vacuum states （TDESVS） are constructed and their normalization and completeness are investigated. Using the entangled state representation and Weyl ordering form of the Wigner operator, the Wigner functions of TDESVS are obtained and the variations of Wigner functions with the parameters m, n and r are investigated. Besides, two marginal distributions of Wigner functions of TDESVS are obtained, which exhibit some entangled properties of the two-particle＇s system in TDESVS.     

Controllable preparation of two-mode entangled coherent states in circuit QED

Although the multi-level structure of superconducting qubits may result in calculation errors, it can be rationally used to effectively improve the speed of gate operations. Utilizing a current-biased Josephson junction （A-type rf-SQUID） as a tunable coupler for superconducting transmission line resonators （TLRs）, under the large detuning condition, we demonstrate the controllable generation of entangled coherent states in circuit quantum electrodynamics （circuit QED）. The coupling between the TLRs and the qubit can be effectively regulated by an external bias current or coupling capacitor. Further investigations indicate that the maximum entangled state can be obtained through measuring the excited state of the superconducting qubits. Then, the influence of the TLR [tecay on the prepared entangled states is analyzed.

We calculate Wigner function, tomogram of the pair coherent state by using its Sehmidt decomposition in the coherent state representation. It turns out that the Wigner function can be seen as the quantum entanglement （QE） between two two-variable Hermite polynomials （TVHP） and the tomogram is further simplified as QE of two single-variable Hermite polynomials. The Husimi function of pair coherent state is also calculated.

By means of the Weyl correspondence and the explicit normally ordered expression of the Wigner operator we convert the time evolution equation of coherent states, governed by some Hamiltonian operators, into seeking for consistent solution of a set of evolution equtions of classical variables which can meet the requirment that an initial coherent state remains coherent all the time.     

Teleportation of a Bipartite Entangled Coherent State via a Four-Partite Cluster-Type Entangled State

We present an optical scheme to almost completely teleport a bipartite entangled coherent state using a four-partite cluster-type entangled coherent state as quantum channel. The scheme is based on optical elements such as beam splitters, phase shifters, and photon detectors. We also obtain the average fidelity of the teleportation process. It is shown that the average fidelity is quite close to unity if the mean photon number of the coherent state is not too small.

Based on the Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen (EPR) entangled state representation, this paper introduces the wave function for the squeezed atomic coherent state (SACS), which turns out to be just proportional to a single-variable ordinary Hermite polynomial of order 2j. As important applications of the wave function, the Wigner function of the SACS and its marginal distribution are obtained and the eigenproblems of some Hamiltonians for the generalized angular momentum system are solved.     

Wigner function for the generalized excited pair coherent state

This paper introduces the generalized excited pair coherent state （GEPCS）. Using the entangled state 〈η〉 representation of Wigner operator, it obtains the Wigner function for the GEPCS. In the ρ-γ phase space, the variations of the Wigner function distributions with the parameters q, α, k and l are discussed. The tomogram of the GEPCS is calculated with the help of the Radon transform between the Wigner operator and the projection operator of the entangled state ｜η1, η2, τ1, τ2｜. The entangled states ｜η〉 and ｜η1, η2, τ1, τ2〉 provide two good representative space for studying the Wigner functions and tomograms of various two-mode correlated quantum states.

We give an analytical result for the quantum Fisher information of entangled coherent states in a lossy Mach-Zehnder interferometer recently proposed by Joo et al., [Phys. Rev. Lett. 107 （2011） 083601]. For small loss of photons, we find that the entangled coherent state can surpass the Heisenberg limit. Phrthermore, the formalism developed here is applicable to the study of phase sensitivity of multipartite entangled coherent states.

This paper constructs a new type of finite-dimensional thermal coherent states (FDTCS), which differs from the proceeding thermal coherent state in construction, as realisations of SU(2) Lie algebra. Using the technique of integration within an ordered product of operator, it investigates the orthonormality and completeness relation of the FDTCS. Based on the thermal Wigner operator in the thermal entangled state representation, the Wigner function of the FDTCS is obtained. The nonclassical properties of the FDTCS are discussed in terms of the negativity of its Wigner function.

Dissipative preparation of a steady three-dimensional entangled state via quantum-jump-based feedback

A robust and scalable scheme to generate a steady three-dimensional entangled state for a V-type atom and a A- type atom trapped in a strongly dissipative bimodal cavity is proposed by direct feedback control based on quantum-jump detection. The robustness of this scheme reflects in the insensitivity to detection inefficiencies and the strong ability against the parameter fluctuations in the feedback, driving, and coupling strengths. The influence of atomic spontaneous emission can be suppressed by using the local feedback control. The scalability is ensured that N-dimensional entangled states of two atoms can be deterministically generated.     

Master equation describing the diffusion process for a coherent state

The evolution of a pure coherent state into a chaotic state is described very well by a master equation, as is validated via an examination of the coherent state＇s evolution during the diffusion process, fully utilizing the technique of integration within an ordered product （IWOP） of operators. The same equation also describes a limitation that maintains the coherence in a weak diffusion process, i.e., when the dissipation is very weak and the initial average photon number is large. This equation is dp/dt = -κ[a＋ap -a＋pa -apa＋ ＋ paa＋]. The physical difference between this diffusion equation and the better-known amplitude damping master equation is pointed out.

In this paper we construct a new type of finite-dimensional pair coherent states |ξ, q〉 as realizations of SU(2) Lie algebra. Using the technique of integration within an ordered product of operator, the nonorthogonality and completeness properties of the state |ξ, q〉 are investigated. Based on the Wigner operator in the entangled state |τ〉 representation, the Wigner function of |ξ, q〉 is obtained. The properties of |ξ, q〉 are discussed in terms of the negativity of its Wigner function. The tomogram of |ξ, q〉 is calculated with the aid of the Radon transform between the Wigner operator and the projection operator of the entangled state |η, κ₁, κ₂〉. In addition, using the entangled state |τ〉 representation of |ξ, q〉 to show that the states |ξ, q〉 are just a set of energy eigenstates of time-independent two coupled oscillators.

We propose some schemes for remote preparation of arbitrary high-dimensional equatorial entangled state via a single bipartite high-dimensional entangled state as quantum channel. We firstly present the remote preparation of bipartite three- and d-dimensional equatorial entangled state by using a single entangled qutrit and qudit pair, respectively, and then directly generalize the schemes to multipartite case. The cases of the quantum channel being non-maximally two-qutrit and two-qudit entangled state are also considered, respectively. In these schemes the required resources are single-particle projective measurement dimensional C-NOT operation. It is shown that the greatly reduced in our schemes. appropriate local unitary operation, auxiliary particle, and highentanglement resource and classical communication cost are both
