Construction of the Superposition of Displaced Fock States and Entangled Displaced Fock States

In this paper, at first we will construct the superposition of two displaced Fock states and two-mode entangled displaced Fock states mathematically by presenting theoretical methods. In these methods, we will introduce new operators using the parity and displacement operators. It will be observed that the superposition of two displaced Fock states and two-mode entangled displaced Fock states are constructed via the action of the introduced operators on one-mode and two-mode Fock states, respectively. Next, we will show that the presented methods have the potential ability to produce the superposition consist of more than two displaced Fock states and multi-mode entangled displaced Fock states, too.     

Quantum Phase Properties of Photon Added and Subtracted Displaced Fock States

Quantum phase properties of photon added and subtracted displaced Fock states (and their limiting cases) are investigated from a number of perspectives, and it is shown that the quantum phase properties are dependent on the quantum state engineering operations performed. Specifically, the analytic expressions for quantum phase distributions and angular Q distribution as well as measures of quantum phase fluctuation and phase dispersion are obtained. The uniform phase distribution of the initial Fock states is observed to be transformed by the unitary operation (i.e., displacement operator) into non‐Gaussian shape, except for the initial vacuum state. It is observed that the phase distribution is symmetric with respect to the phase of the displacement parameter and becomes progressively narrower as its amplitude increases. The non‐unitary (photon addition/subtraction) operations make it even narrower in contrast to the Fock parameter, which leads to broadness. The photon subtraction is observed to be a more powerful quantum state engineering tool in comparison to the photon addition. Further, one of the quantum phase fluctuation parameters is found to reveal the existence of antibunching in both the engineered quantum states under consideration. Finally, the relevance of the engineered quantum states in the quantum phase estimation is also discussed.     

Generalized Photon Added and Subtracted f-Deformed Displaced Fock States

In this paper, by making use of the nonlinear coherent states approach, the generalized photon added and subtracted f-deformed displaced Fock states are introduced. In other words, a natural link between photon added and subtracted displaced Fock states and nonlinear coherent states associated with nonlinear oscillator algebra is obtained. It is found that various kinds of nonclassical states can be generated by adopting appropriately controlling parameters in both linear and nonlinear regimes. Moreover, examining some of the most nonclassical properties such as Mandel's Q parameter, different types of squeezing, namely, quadrature, amplitude–squared and phase entropic squeezing, and Vogel's characteristic function, the nonclassicality features of the considered quantum states of interest are studied. Furthermore, to obtain the degree of quantum coherence, the relative entropy of coherence is investigated. Indeed, the nonclassicality aspects of the states obtained have been numerically studied to understand the roles of deformation functions, photons added and subtracted, and photon number occupied in the Fock state on physical properties. It is demonstrated that the depth and the domain of the nonclassicality features of the system can properly be controlled by selecting the suitable parameters.     

Lower‐ and Higher‐Order Nonclassical Properties of Photon Added and Subtracted Displaced Fock States

Nonclassical properties of photon added and subtracted displaced Fock states are studied using various witnesses of lower‐ and higher‐order nonclassicality. Compact analytic expressions are obtained for the nonclassicality witnesses. Using those expressions, it is established that these states and the states that can be obtained as their limiting cases (except coherent states) are highly nonclassical as they show the existence of lower‐ and higher‐order antibunching and sub‐Poissonian photon statistics, in addition to the nonclassical features revealed through the Mandel $Q_M$ parameter, zeros of Q function, Klyshko's criterion, and Agarwal–Tara criterion. Further, some comparison between the nonclassicality of photon added and subtracted displaced Fock states have been performed using witnesses of nonclassicality. This has established that between the two types of non‐Gaussianity inducing operations (i.e., photon addition and subtraction) used here, photon addition influences the nonclassical properties more strongly. Further, optical designs for the generation of photon added and subtracted displaced Fock states from squeezed vacuum state have also been proposed.     

Linear Amplifier and Quasiprobability Distribution Functions for the Squeezed Displaced Fock States

The nondiagonal P-function (complex andpositive) for the output field with the squeezedcoherent state as an initial state to a linear amplifieris obtained. Moments of the field operators arecalculated. The Wigner distribution function for the outputof a linear amplifier is discussed. The input lightfield of the linear amplifier is assumed to be asqueezed displaced Fock state. Investigation of theWigner distribution functions at the output fields iscarried out, where it is found that the distributionspreads out as it rotates in the phase space with timedevelopment. For the case of a squeezed displaced Fock state input it is found that thedistribution disintegrates into two subdistributions.The phase distribution for the output light is discussedthrough the phase function associated with the Wigner function for different inputs.

A New Superposition of Two Coherent States and its Quantum Properties

We investigate a new superposition of two coherent states via conditional measurement on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI). The resulted output state is obtained by using the superposition of two opposite coherent states with the arbitrary relative phase factors for the a-mode and vacuum state in the b-mode. It is shown that the angle of the phase shifter between the two arms of the MZI is a very important parameter in this new state.

     

Generation and Properties of Two-Mode Circular States

Two-mode circular states, which are superposition states from some two-mode coherent states, are studied theoretically. It is shown that under certain conditions two-mode circular states may exhibit nonclassical effects, such as sub-Poissonian statistics and intermode correlation. We propose schemes to generate two-mode circular states by the interaction of a trapped ion with traveling wave lasers.     

Superposition of Generalized q-Coherent States of the Non-harmonicOscillator and Their Nonclassical Properties

The superposition states, which are composed of the generalized q-coherent states of the non-harmonic oscillator, are presented. The quantum statistical properties of these states are studied. Then the influence of the superposition phase δ and the deformation parameter q on these nonclassical properties are discussed. It is shown that the superposition states exhibit higher-order (order of odd number) squeezing effect and antibunching effect respectively. When the superposition phase δ is taken values approach to 0 or π/2, these results approach the properties of the even or odd generalized q-coherent states of the non-harmonic oscillator. Especially, the effects are influenced by the parameter q. When the values of q is taken departure from 1 greatly, the nonclassical properties are more evidently.

Quantum Properties of the Superposition of Two Nearly Identical Coherent States

In this paper, we examine the properties of the state obtained when two nearly identical coherent states are superimposed. We found that this state exhibits many nonclassical properties such as sub-Poissonian statistics, squeezing and a partially negative Wigner function. These and other properties indicate that such states, here termed near coherent states, are significantly closer to coherent states more than the generalized Schrördinger cat states. We finally provide an experimental procedure for generating the near coherent states.     

Higher-Order Nonclassical Properties of a Shifted Symmetric Cat State and a One-Dimensional Continuous Superposition of Coherent States

Role of quantum interference in the origin of higher-order nonclassical characteristics of radiation field has been probed vis-à-vis a discrete and a continuous superposition of coherent states. Specifically, the possibilities of observing higher-order nonclassical properties (e.g., higher-order antibunching (HOA), higher-order sub-Poissonian photon statistics (HOSPS), higher-order squeezing (HOS) of Hong-Mandel type and Hillery type) have been investigated using a shifted symmetric cat state that reduces to Yurke-Stoler, even and odd coherent states at various limits. This shifted symmetric cat state which can be viewed as a discrete superposition of coherent states is found to show HOA and HOSPS. Similarly, higher-order nonclassical properties of a one-dimensional continuous superposition of coherent states is also studied here. The investigation has revealed the existence of HOS and HOSPS in the one-dimensional continuous superposition of coherent states studied here. Effect of non-Gaussianity inducing operations (e.g., photon addition and addition followed by subtraction) on these superposition states have also been investigated. Finally, some comparisons have been made between the higher-order nonclassical properties of discrete and continuous superposition of coherent states.
