Nonclassicality and decoherence of two-mode photon-added squeezed vacuum

We investigate the nonclassicality of two-mode photon-added squeezed vacuum state (TPASV) and its decoherence in a thermal environment according to the sub-Poissonian statistics and the negative region of Wigner function (WF). Based on the fact that the TPASV can be seen as a squeezed Hermite polynomial excitation state, we further obtain a compact expression for the normalization factor of TPASV, i.e., a Jacobi polynomial of the squeezing parameter. We also derive the explicit expression of WF of TPASV and then the decoherence effect on this state is also discussed by deriving the time evolution of the WF and its negative region.     

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.     

Excited Two-Mode Generalized Squeezed Vacuum State as a Squeezed Two-Variable Hermite Polynomial Excitation State

A new class of excited two-mode generalized squeezed vacuum states denoted by |r,s,m,n〉 are presented, which are obtained by repeatedly applying creation operators a ^† and b ^† on the two-mode generalized squeezed vacuum state. We find that it is just regarded as a generalized squeezed two-variable Hermite polynomial excitation on the vacuum state and its normalization constant is just a Jacobi polynomial. Their statistical properties are investigated such as squeezing properties, photon number distribution and the violations of Cauchy-Schwartz inequality. Especially, the Wigner function for |r,s,m,n〉 depending on the excitation photon numbers is discussed graphically.     

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.

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 of Single-Variable Hermite Polynomial State and Its Fidelity with Squeezed Vacuum State

The nonclassicality of the single-variable Hermite polynomial state (SHPS) and its fidelity with squeezed vacuum state are studied in this paper. It is found that the SHPS can be considered as a single mode photon subtracted squeezed vacuum state. A compact expression for the Wigner function (WF) is also derived analytically by using the Weyl-ordered operator invariance under similar transformations. Especially, the nonclassicality is discussed in terms of the negativity of the WF. At last, the fidelity as a non-Gaussianity measure for this state is also discussed.

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.     

Squeezed vacuum as an eigenstate of two-photon annihilation operator

We introduce the inverse annihilation and creation operatorsa ⁻¹ anda ^+-1 by their actions on the number states. We show that the squeezed vacuum exp(1/2;ξa ⁺²]|0> and squeezed first number state exp[1/2;ξa ⁺²]|n=1> are respectively the eigenstates of the operators (a ^†−1 a) and (aa ^+-1) with the eigenvalue ξ.     

Entanglement of Photon-Subtracted Two-Mode Squeezed Thermal State and Its Decoherence in Thermal Environments

Using a non-Gaussian operation—photon subtraction from two-mode squeezed thermal state (PS-TMSTS), we construct a kind of entangled state. A Jacobi polynomial is found to be related to the normalization factor. The negativity of Wigner function (WF) is used to discuss its nonclassicality. The investigated entanglement properties turn out that the symmetrical PS-TMSTS may be more effective than the non-symmetric for quantum teleportation. Then the time evolution of WF is used to examine the decoherence effect, which indicates that the characteristic time of single PS-TMSTS depends not only on the average photon number of environment, but also on the average photon number of thermal state and the squeezing parameter.

Photon-added squeezed thermal states: Statistical properties and its decoherence in a photon-loss channel

In this paper, we introduce the photon-added squeezed thermal state (PASTS), the excitation of displaced-squeezed chaotic field, and investigate its statistical properties, such as Mandel’s Q-parameter, number distribution (as a Legendre polynomial), the Wigner function (WF). The way we study it is using the normally ordered Gaussian form of displaced-squeezed thermal field characteristic of average photon-number . Then we study its decoherence in a photon-loss channel in term of the negativity of WF by deriving the analytical expression of WF for PASTS. It is found that the WF with single photon-added is always partial negative for the arbitrary values of and the squeezing parameter r.     

Nonclassicality and Decoherence of Generalized Photon-Modulated Squeezed Thermal State

In this paper, we introduce the generalized photon-modulated squeezed thermal states (GPMSTS) obtained by repeatedly acting the combination of Bosonic creation and annihilation operation on the squeezed thermal state. We investigate the nonclassical properties of GPMSTS and its decoherence in a thermal environment according to the negative region of Wigner function. It is found that the normalization factor of GPMSTS is a Legendre polynomial. Especially, the decoherence effect is discussed by deriving the time evolution of the Wigner function.

Atomic Spatial Decoherence in a Squeezed Cavity Field

A moving two-level atom with momentum p is put into a single mode of a cavity field in the squeezed coherent state. An approximate expression of decoherence factor of the space is obtained. Our results show that the decoherence factor is mainly determined by two elements: the coherent parameter β and the squeezed parameter r, and the effects of them are discussed in detail, respectively.     

Dissipation of a two-mode squeezed vacuum state in the single-mode amplitude damping channel

We explore how a two-mode squeezed vacuum state sechθ e^{a+b+ tanh θ} |00> evolves when it undergoes a singlemode amplitude dissipative channel with rate of decay κ. We find that in this process not only the squeezing parameter decreases, tanh θ → e^-κt tanh θ, but also the second-mode vacuum state evolves into a chaotic state exp{b⁺bln[1 - e^-2κt tanh² θ]}. The outcome state is no more a pure state, but an entangled mixed state.

The Squeezing Effect of Three-Mode Operator as an Extension from Two-Mode Squeezing Operator

We theoretically study the squeezing effect in a 3-wave mixing process, generated by the operator S₃ o exp[m(a₁a₂-a₁^fa₂^f)+n(a₁a₃-a₁^fa₃^f)]S_{3}\equiv \exp[\mu(a_{1}a_{2}-a_{1}^{\dagger}a_{2}^{\dagger})+\nu(a_{1}a_{3}-a_{1}^{\dagger}a_{3}^{\dagger})]. The corresponding 3-mode squeezed vacuum state in Fock space and its uncertainty relation are presented. It turns out that S ₃ may exhibit enhanced squeezing. By virtue of integration within an ordered product (IWOP) of operators, we also give the S ₃’s normally ordered expansion. Finally, we calculate the Wigner function of 3-mode squeezed vacuum state by using the Weyl ordering invariance under similar transformations.
