Evolution of a two-mode squeezed vacuum in the amplitude dissipative channel

For the first time we derive the dissipating result of an initial two-mode squeezed pure vacuum state passing through a two-mode amplitude dissipative channel described by the direct product of two independent single-mode master equations. Although these two master equations do not mix the two modes (there is no coupling between them), since the two-mode squeezed state is simultaneously an entangled state, the final state which emerges from passing this channel is a two-mode mixed density operator. The compact expression of the outcoming state is obtained, which manifestly shows that as time evolves, the squeezing effect decreases.     

Dissipation of Two-Mode Squeezed State in Two Independent Amplitude Dissipative Channels

We examine the dissipative result of a pure two-mode squeezed state passing through two independent amplitude dissipative channels described by the direct product of two independent single-mode master equations. Although these two master equations do not mix the two modes (no coupling between them), but since the two-mode squeezed state is simultaneously an entangled state, the output state emerging from the two channels is a two-mode density operator (mixed state). The exact and compact expression of the outcoming state is obtained, which manifently shows that as time evolves the squeezing effect and photon number decreases.     

Laguerre-Polynomial-Weighted Two-Mode Squeezed State

We propose a new optical field named Laguerre-polynomial-weighted two-mode squeezed state. We find that such a state can be generated by passing the l-photon excited two-mode squeezed vacuum state C_la^?lS₂|00〉 through an single-mode amplitude damping channel. Physically, this paper actually is concerned what happens when both excitation and damping of photons co-exist for a two-mode squeezed state, e.g., dessipation of photon-added two-mode squeezed vacuum state. We employ the summation method within ordered product of operators and a new generating function formula about two-variable Hermite polynomials to proceed our discussion.     

Entanglement swapping of continuous variable using squeezed vacuum states

We present a realistic scheme for the entanglement swapping of continuous variable, in which a two-mode squeezed vacuum state serves as a quantum channel. The position sum and momentum difference of two local modes are measured. By taking the input entangled state also as a two-mode squeezed vacuum state, we investigate the average fidelity and the von Neumann entropy of the output state. The results show that the perfect teleportation can be achieved by increasing the squeezing of the quantum channel and that any nonzero squeezing in both the quantum channel and the input entangled state is sufficient to swap the entanglement.

Time evolution law of a two-mode squeezed light field passing through twin diffusion channels

We explore the time evolution law of a two-mode squeezed light field(pure state)passing through twin diffusion channels,and we find that the final state is a squeezed chaotic light field(mixed state)with entanglement,which shows that even though the two channels are independent of each other,since the two modes of the initial state are entangled with each other,the final state remains entangled.Nevertheless,although the squeezing(entanglement)between the two modes is weakened after the diffusion,it is not completely removed.We also highlight the law of photon number evolution.In the calculation process used in this paper,we make full use of the summation method within the ordered product of operators and the generating function formula for two-variable Hermite polynomials.

Entanglement in Coupled Mesoscopic Circuits

A common two-mode squeezed state is one of the most important resources in quantum information processing of continuous variables. In this paper, a two-mode squeezed rotation-entangled state is obtained in coupled mesoscopic circuits. It is shown that instantaneously switching on the external sources may result in a two-mode squeezed state of the system, which actually arises from the coupling effect. The entanglement of the squeezed rotation-entangled state is studied. The degree of entanglement for coupled mesoscoipc circuit was calculated by using the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators. It is shown that the entanglement of the two-mode squeezed rotation-entangled state is different from that of the common squeezed state, for example, the degree of entanglement of the system, which is in the squeezed state, exist maximum value at a very low temperature.     

Security of quantum key distribution using two-mode squeezed states against optimal beam splitter attack

For the beam splitter attack strategy against quantum key distribution using two-mode squeezed states, the analytical expression of the optimal beam splitter parameter is provided in this paper by applying the Shannon information theory. The theoretical secret information rate after error correction and privacy amplification is given in terms of the squeezed parameter and channel parameters. The results show that the two-mode squeezed state quantum key distribution is secure against an optimal beam splitter attack.     

单-双模组合压缩热态的纠缠性质及在量子隐形传态中的应用

基于单-双模组合压缩真空态一定范围内能够获得压缩增强的效果,引入单-双模组合压缩热态(DSMST),讨论其纠缠性质.利用Weyl编序算符在相似变换下的不变性,简洁方便地导出了DSMST的纠缠度-负对数值,并给出了当热效应存在时保持纠缠的条件.研究表明:与通常的双模压缩态相比,随着参数的增加,DSMST的纠缠度增加.作为DSMST的应用,利用其实现相干态的量子隐形传输.结果表明:不同于纠缠度随压缩参数增加,保真度获得改善是有条件的,该条件恰好就是一正交分量涨落出现压缩增强的参数区域.此外,解析推导了有效隐形传输保真度(1/2)的条件.     

Single-mode photon number measurement for the squeezed two-mode number state

Based on the fact that a two-mode squeezed number state is a two-variable Hermite polynomial excitation of the two-mode squeezed vacuum state, the result of one-mode l-photon measurement for the two-mode squeezed number state $S_2|m,n\rangle$ is discussed. It is found that a remaining field-mode simultaneously collapses into a number state $|n-m+l\rangle$ with the coefficient being a Jacobi polynomial of n, m and l, which manifestly exhibits the entanglement between the two modes, i.e. it depends on the number-difference between the two modes. The second mode collapses into an excited coherent state when the first mode is measured as a coherent state.     

Successively Squeezed States Studied by Virtue of the IWOP Technique

Two kinds of successively squeezed states which are generated by re-squeezing two single mode squeezed states by the two-mode squeezing operator, or by re-squeezing a two-mode squeezed state by two single-mode squeezing operators, are studied in terms of the newly developed technique of integration within an ordered product (IWOP) of operators. The fluctuations in quadrature phases for the resqueezed states are analyzed.     

Entanglement Swapping of Pair Coherent States with Phase Decoherence

We investigate the entanglement swapping of continuous state and the two-mode squeezed vacuum which is exposed variable using the pair coherent state as the input in a phase decoherence environment as the quantum channel. By adopting the log-negativity as the measure of entanglement, we analyze how entanglement of the two initial states and the phase decoherence environment affect the entanglement swapping quality.     

Entanglement Involved in Time Evolution of Two-Mode Squeezed State in Single-Mode Diffusion Channel

We derive the evolution law of an initial two-mode squeezed vacuum state \( \text {sech}^{2}\lambda e^{a^{\dag }b^{\dagger }\tanh \lambda }\left \vert 00\right \rangle \left \langle 00\right \vert e^{ab\tanh \lambda }\) (a pure state) passing through an a-mode diffusion channel described by the master equation

$$\frac{d\rho \left( t\right) }{dt}=-\kappa \left[ a^{\dagger}a\rho \left( t\right) -a^{\dagger}\rho \left( t\right) a-a\rho \left( t\right) a^{\dagger}+\rho \left( t\right) aa^{\dagger}\right] , $$

since the two-mode squeezed state is simultaneously an entangled state, the final state which emerges from this channel is a two-mode mixed state. Performing partial trace over the b-mode of ρ(t) yields a new chaotic field, \(\rho _{a}\left (t\right ) =\frac {\text {sech}^{2}\lambda }{1+\kappa t \text {sech}^{2}\lambda }:\exp \left [ \frac {- \text {sech}^{2}\lambda }{1+\kappa t\text {sech}^{2}\lambda }a^{\dagger }a \right ] :,\) which exhibits higher temperature and more photon numbers, showing the diffusion effect. Besides, measuring a-mode of ρ(t) to find n photons will result in the collapse of the two-mode system to a new Laguerre polynomial-weighted chaotic state in b-mode, which also exhibits entanglement.

     

The q-analogues of two-mode squeezed states constructed by virtue of the IWOP technique

The q-analogues of two-mode squeezed states are introduced by virtue of deformation quantization methods and the technique of integration within an ordered product （IWOP） of operators. Some new completeness relations about these squeezed states composed of the bra and ket which are not mutually Hermitian conjugates are obtained. Furthermore, the antibunching effects of the two-mode squeezed vacuum state S＇s（τ） │00） are investigated. It is found that, in different ranges of the squeezed parameter τ, both modes of the state exhibit the antibunching effects and the two modes of the state are always nonclassical correlation.

Entanglement and nonlocality of one- and two-mode combination squeezed state

We investigate the entanglement and nonlocality properties of one- and two-mode combination squeezed vacuum state (OTCSS, with two-parameter λ and γ) by analyzing the logarithmic negativity and the Bell's inequality. It is found that this state exhibits larger entanglement than that of the usual two-mode squeezed vacuum state (TSVS), and that in a certain regime of λ, the violation of Bell's inequality becomes more obvious, which indicates that the nonlocality of OTCSS can be stronger than that of TSVS. As an application of OTCSS, the quantum teleportation is examined, which shows that there is a region spanned by λ and γin which the fidelity of OTCSS channel is larger than that of TSVS.     

Evolution of a two-mode squeezed vacuum for amplitude decay via continuous-variable entangled state approach

Extending the recent work completed by Fan et al. [Front. Phys. 9(1), 74 (2014)] to a two-mode case, we investigate how a two-mode squeezed vacuum evolves when it undergoes a two-mode amplitude dissipative channel, with the same decay rate κ, using the continuous-variable entangled state approach. Our analytical results show that the initial pure-squeezed vacuum state evolves into a definite mixed state with entanglement and squeezing, decaying over time as a result of amplitude decay. We also investigate the time evolutions of the photon number distribution, the Wigner function, and the optical tomogram in this channel. Our results indicate that the evolved photon number distribution is related to Jacobi polynomials, the Wigner function has a standard Gaussian distribution (corresponding to the vacuum) at long periods, losing its nonclassicality due to amplitude decay, and a larger squeezing leads to a longer decay time.     

Evolution and Generation of Dynamics of Two-Mode Squeezed States of Time-Dependent Coupled Boson System

The system of the Hamiltonian involving a driving part, a single mode part, and a two-mode squeezed one and a two-mode coupled one is discussed using the Lewis-Riesenfeld invariant theory. The time evolution operator is obtained. When the initial state is a coherent state, the quantum fluctuation of the system is calculated, and it is dependent on the squeezed part and the two-mode coupled part, but not dependent on the driving one.     

Mesoscopic Josephson junctions in the presence of two-mode quantized electromagnetic field

Dynamic behavior of a mesoscopic Josephson junction in the presence of a two-mode quantized electromagnetic field is investigated. It is shown that the currentvoltage- step structures depend apparently on the two basic frequencies of the two-mode field. The voltage jumps are generally not equidistant. It is also shown that for the correlated two-mode squeezed state the time evolution of the supercurrent exhibits quantum collapse and revival(CR) phenomenon, while for the noncorrelated two-mode coherent state the phenomenon does not occur.
