Elliptic dark states: Explicit invariant form

An analysis is made of coherent population trapping as a result of resonant interaction of elliptically polarized light with atoms whose energy levels are degenerate with respect to the projection of the angular momentum and are coupled by a dipole transition. Explicit invariant expressions for dark states are obtained in tensor form for all transitions where population trapping occurs. A correspondence is established between the vector of the elliptic polarization and the pair of associated spinors. It is shown that all dark states can be constructed from these spinors by means of a multiple tensor product. For integer values of the angular momenta of the transitions these constructions reduce to spherical functions of a complex variable. As applications analytic expressions are obtained for the dark magneto-optic and geometric potentials, and the change in their profile with increasing angular momenta is analyzed.     

Coherent-mode representation and orbital angular momentum spectrum of partially coherent beam

Orbital angular momentum of the coherent beam has been intensively studied and promises potential applications in free space optical communication. But the orbital angular momentum of partially coherent beam is not well known. In this communication the coherent-mode representation method is adopted to describe the partially coherent beam and the orbital angular momentum spectrum is introduced for the partially coherent beam. The characteristics of the orbital angular momentum spectrum of partially coherent beam are discussed. To study the influence of the partial coherence on the optical link, the channel capacity is studied, with two kinds of available mode separators included.

Partially Coherent cosh-Gaussian Beams in Atmospheric Turbulence with the Same Directionality as a Laser

Directionality of a class of partially coherent cosh-Gaussian beams propagating in atmospheric turbulence is studied. It is shown that two partially coherent cosh-Gaussian beams may generate the same angular spread, and there exist equivalent partially coherent cosh-Gaussian beams which may have the same directionality as a fully coherent Gaussian laser beam in free space and also in atmospheric turbulence. The theoretical results are interpreted physically and illustrated numerically.     

Effects of atmospheric turbulence on the orbital angular momentum of multi-Gaussian Schell model beams

The effects of multibeams and partially coherent source on the orbital angular momentum transmission of multi-Gaussian Schell model beams in an atmospheric turbulence channel are analyzed. An effective crosstalk probability model of the orbital angular momentum is derived which leads to crosstalk probability function for eigenmodes of different orbital angular momentum states and beamlets. The work shows that the evolution of the effective spatial coherence radius with growing the rms width of the correlation of the partially coherent source and the number of the beamlet in multi-Gaussian model beams. The crosstalk probability of the orbital angular momentum of an effective Gaussian-Schell model beam decreases as increasing of the degree of the spatial coherence of the partially coherent source and the beamlet number of the multi-Gaussian Schell model beams.

Angular anisotropy of characteristic x-radiation and auger electrons during the resonance coherent excitation of relativistic ions under planar channeling conditions

The results of new experiments on the resonance coherent excitation of relativistic highly charged ions under planar channeling conditions are analyzed by a method of the generalized master equation for the density matrix of ions. The results of calculations pertaining to the angular anisotropy of characteristic electromagnetic radiation, to the survival fraction of ions as a function of the trajectory of their motion in the channel, and to the excitation of autoionizing states of helium-like ions under the double resonance coherent excitation are in close agreement with measurement data. New experiments are proposed.     

Superposed graphene coherent states

Using an annihilation operator, coherent states related to the electron of graphene layer placed in a magnetic field, can be obtained. In this paper, we define even and odd superposed graphene coherent states and then, we consider their entanglement, squeezing and statistical properties. To study the entanglement, we use concurrence. The results show that odd superposed graphene coherent states are maximally entangled states for all values of coherence parameter. However, the entanglement of graphene coherent states and also even superposed depend on the coherence parameter. In addition, examining the Mandel parameter shows sub-Poissonian statistics for graphene coherent states and their odd superposition; while, even superposed states do not show sub-Poissonian statistics at all. Also, we find that graphene coherent states and even superposition may be squeezed while the odd states do not show squeezing.     

Fluctuations and correlations of soft gluons at the nonperturbative stage of evolution of QCD jets

At the nonperturbative stage of jet evolution, fluctuations of soft gluons are less than those for coherent states under specific conditions. This fact suggests that there can arise squeezed gluon states. The angular and rapidity dependences of the gluon correlation function are investigated at this stage of jet evolution. It is shown that these new states of soft gluons can display sub-Poissonian or super-Poissonian statistics corresponding to, respectively, antibunching and bunching of gluons, by analogy with squeezed photon states.     

Linear entropy in the Jaynes-Cummings model with a Kerr nonlinearity

The dynamical properties of quantum entanglement in the integrable Jaynes-Cummings model with a Kerr nonlinearity are studied in terms of the reduced-density linear entropy with various Kerr coupling parameters and initial states, where the initial states are prepared by the coherent states placed in the corresponding phase space described in terms of canonical variables. The mean entanglement averaged over time is employed to investigate the behavior of entanglement of those coherent states. It is shown that the mean entanglement of the coherent states put near the centers of periodic orbits, both with a strong Kerr coupling and without a Kerr coupling, tends to be the minimal, and that the mean entanglement of the coherent states centered near the boundary with a strong Kerr coupling is the minimal while that without Kerr coupling is the maximal.     

Coherent spin states and energy-phase uncertainty relation

In analogy to what has been done for the quantum harmonic oscillator, two non-commuting phase operators cos Φ and spin Φ are here defined for a multi-spin system in terms of the angular momentum operators. These operators are used to introduce a satisfactory energy-phase uncertainty relation. In the classical limit it is possible to establish a correspondence between the phase operators cos Φ and sin Φ and the classical functions cos ? and sin ?, where ? is the azimuthal angle of the angular momentum. First results are reported indicating that the coherent spin states satisfy, in the classical limit, the energy-phase minimum-uncertainty relations here introduced.     

Coherent states with elliptical polarization

Coherent states of the two-dimensional harmonic oscillator are constructed as superpositions of energy and angular momentum eigenstates. It is shown that these states are Gaussian wave-packets moving along a classical trajectory, with a well-defined elliptical polarization. They are coherent correlated states with respect to the usual Cartesian position and momentum operators. A set of creation and annihilation operators is defined in polar coordinates, and it is shown that these same states are precisely coherent states with respect to such operators.     

Quantized rotation of atoms from photons with orbital angular momentum

We demonstrate the coherent transfer of the orbital angular momentum of a photon to an atom in quantized units of variant Planck's over 2pi, using a 2-photon stimulated Raman process with Laguerre-Gaussian beams to generate an atomic vortex state in a Bose-Einstein condensate of sodium atoms. We show that the process is coherent by creating superpositions of different vortex states, where the relative phase between the states is determined by the relative phases of the optical fields. Furthermore, we create vortices of charge 2 by transferring to each atom the orbital angular momentum of two photons.     

Non-classicality of photon added coherent and thermal radiations

Production and analysis of non-Gaussian radiation fields has evinced a lot of attention recently. Simplest way of generating such non-Gaussians is through adding (subtracting) photons to Gaussian fields. Interestingly, when photons are added to classical Gaussian fields, the resulting states exhibit non-classicality. Two important classical Gaussian radiation fields are coherent and thermal states. Here, we study the non-classical features of such states when photons are added to them. Non-classicality of these states shows up in the negativity of the Wigner function. We also work out the entanglement potential, a recently proposed measure of non-classicality for these states. Our analysis reveals that photon added coherent states are non-classical for all seed beam intensities; their non-classicality increases with the addition of more number of photons. Thermal state exhibits non-classicality at all temperatures, when a photon is added; lower the temperature, higher is their non-classicality.     

Dephasing in neutron interferometry

Wigner functions are used to describe various dephasing effects in neutron interferometry which are caused by thickness variations and density fluctuations of the phase shifter and by variations of the beam parameters. It will be shown that separated coherent Schrödinger-cat-like states, which exist when large phase shifts are applied, are extremely fragile and sensitive to any kind of imperfections. The related dephasing factor depends quadratically on the spatial separation of the coherent states which permits the definition of an upper limit of feasible coherent packet separation. The results show that dephasing is an unavoidable effect caused by intrinsic fluctuations inherent to any physical system.Dedicated to H. Walther on the occasion of his 60th birthday     

Generation of a displaced qubit and entangled displaced photon state via conditional measurement and their properties

We study optical schemes for generating both a displaced photon and a displaced qubit via conditional measurement. Combining one mode prepared in different microscopic states (one-mode qubit, single photon, vacuum state) and another mode in macroscopic states (coherent state, single photon added coherent state), a conditional state in the other output mode exhibits properties of a superposition of the displaced vacuum and a single photon. We propose to use the displaced qubit and entangled states composed of the displaced photon as components for quantum information processing. Basic states of such a qubit are distinguishable from each other with high fidelity. We show that the qubit reveals both microscopic and macroscopic properties. Entangled displaced states with a coherent phase as an additional degree of freedom are introduced. We show that additional degree of freedom enables to implement complete Bell state measurement of the entangled displaced photon states.
