High Intensity Generation of Entangled Photons in a Two‐Mode Electromagnetic Field

At present, the sources of entangled photons have a low rate of photon generation. This limitation is a key component of quantum informatics for the realization of such functions as linear quantum computation and quantum teleportation. In this paper, we propose a method for high intensity generation of entangled photons in a two‐mode electromagnetic field. On the basis of exact solutions of the Schrödinger equation, when electrons interact in an atom with a strong two‐mode electromagnetic field, it is shown that there may be large quantum entanglement between photons. The quantum entanglement is analyzed on the basis of the Schmidt parameter. It is shown that the Schmidt parameter can reach very high values depending on the choice of characteristics of the two‐mode fields. We find the Wigner function for the considered case. Violation of Bell's inequalities for continuous variables is demonstrated.     

Unveiling the Link Between Fractional Schrödinger Equation and Light Propagation in Honeycomb Lattice

We suggest a real physical system — the honeycomb lattice — as a possible realization of the fractional Schrödinger equation (FSE) system, through utilization of the Dirac‐Weyl equation (DWE). The fractional Laplacian in FSE causes modulation of the dispersion relation of the system, which becomes linear in the limiting case. In the honeycomb lattice, the dispersion relation is already linear around the Dirac point, suggesting a possible connection with the FSE, since both models can be reduced to the one described by the DWE. Thus, we propagate Gaussian beams in three ways: according to FSE, honeycomb lattice around the Dirac point, and DWE, to discover universal behavior — the conical diffraction. However, if an additional potential is brought into the system, the similarity in behavior is broken, because the added potential serves as a perturbation that breaks the translational periodicity of honeycomb lattice and destroys Dirac cones in the dispersion relation.     

Generalized Darboux Transformations,Rogue Waves,and Modulation Instability for the Coherently Coupled Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations in Nonlinear Optics

Nonlinear optics plays a central role in the advancement of optical science and laser‐based technologies. The second‐order rogue‐wave solutions and modulation instability for the coherently coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations with the positive coherent coupling in nonlinear optics are reported in this paper. Generalized Darboux transformations for such coupled equations are derived, with which the second‐order rational solutions for the purpose of modelling the rogue waves are obtained. With respect to the slowly‐varying complex amplitudes of two interacting optical modes, it is observed that 1) number of valleys of the second‐order rogue waves increases and peak value of the second‐order rogue wave decreases first and then increases; 2) single‐hump second‐order rogue wave turns into the double‐hump second‐order rogue wave; 3) single‐hump bright second‐order rogue wave turns into the dark second‐order rogue wave and finally becomes the three‐hump bright second‐order rogue wave. Meanwhile, baseband modulation instability through the linear stability analysis is seen.
