Even and Odd Nonlinear Negative Binomial States

In this paper the even and odd nonlinear negative binomial states of the radiation field are introduced. These states interpolates between even (odd) number states and the even (odd) nonlinear coherent states. The Glauber second-order correlation function is calculated for these states. The squeezing phenomenon (normal and amplitude-squared squeezing), the quasi-probability distribution function Q-function, Wigner-function and the phase properties, are also discussed. Examination of the resonance fluorescence against the present state is given. It has been shown that the atomic inversion is sensitive to any variation in the even and odd nonlinear negative binomial number M and the nonlinearity parameter η.     

Nonclassical properties and algebraic characteristics of negative binomial states in quantized radiation fields

We study the nonclassical properties and algebraic characteristics of the negative binomial states introduced by Barnett recently. The ladder operator formalism and displacement operator formalism of the negative binomial states are found and the algebra involved turns out to be the SU(1,1) Lie algebra via the generalized Holstein-Primarkoff realization. These states are essentially Perelomov's SU(1,1) coherent states. We reveal their connection with the geometric states and find that they are excited geometric states. As intermediate states, they interpolate between the number states and geometric states. We also point out that they can be recognized as the nonlinear coherent states. Their nonclassical properties, such as sub-Poissonian distribution and squeezing effect are discussed. The quasiprobability distributions in phase space, namely the Q and Wigner functions, are studied in detail. We also propose two methods of generation of the negative binomial states. d 32.80.Pj Optical cooling of atoms; trapping Received 8 May 1999 and Received in final form 8 November 1999     

Odd-Excited Binomial States of the Radiation Field and Some of Their Statistical Properties

In this paper a new state called odd-excited binomial state (OEBS) is introduced. It interpolates between the odd number state and the odd-excited coherent state. We discuss some statistical properties, such as the Glauber second-order correlation function and squeezing phenomenon (normal and amplitude-squared squeezing) for this state. The quasiprobability distribution functions (Husimi Q-function and Wigner W-function) are also examined.     

Quantum phase properties associated to solvable quantum systems using the nonlinear coherent states approach

In this paper we study the quantum phase properties of “nonlinear coherent states” and “solvable quantum systems with discrete spectra” using the Pegg-Barnett formalism in a unified approach. The presented procedure will then be applied to few special solvable quantum systems with known discrete spectrum as well as to some new classes of nonlinear oscillators with particular nonlinearity functions. Finally the associated phase distributions and their nonclasscial properties such as the squeezing in number and phase operators have been investigated, numerically.     

Reduction of quantum phase fluctuations in intermediate states

Recently we have shown that the reduction of the Carruthers-Nieto symmetric quantum phase fluctuation parameter (U) with respect to its coherent state value corresponds to an antibunched state, but the converse is not true. Consequently reduction of U is a stronger criterion of nonclassicality than the lowest order antibunching. Here we have studied the possibilities of reduction of U in intermediate states by using the Barnett-Pegg formalism. We have shown that the reduction of phase fluctuation parameter U can be seen in different intermediate states, such as binomial state, generalized binomial state, hypergeometric state, negative binomial state, and photon added coherent state. It is also shown that the depth of nonclassicality can be controlled by various parameters related to intermediate states. Further, we have provided specific examples of antibunched states, for which U is greater than its Poissonian state value.     

Statistical properties of a two-photon cavity mode in the presence of degenerate parametric amplifier

A Hamiltonian model that includes two-photon interaction with a two-level atom and a degenerate parametric amplifier is considered. By invoking a canonical transformation an exact solution of the wave function in the Schrödinger picture is obtained. The result presented in this context is employed to discuss the purity, the entropy squeezing, and the variance squeezing, in addition to the normal squeezing. It has been shown that the existence of the second harmonic generation leads to reduction in the squeezing amount for all quadrature variances and we found that as the value of the coupling parameter λ₂ increases the squeezing phenomenon gets more apparent. Further we have also considered the Q-function as an example of the quasi-probability distribution.     

Thermo Vacuum State for Describing the Density Operator of Photon-subtracted Squeezed Chaotic Light

For the density operator describing s?photon-subtracted squeezed chaotic light (PSSCL) we search for its thermo vacuum state (a pure state) in the real-fictitious space. We find that it reduces to a thermo vacuum state of squeezed chaotic light when s = 0, and to a thermo vacuum state of the optical negative binomial field when no squeezing. The new thermo vacuum state simplifies calculating photon number average, quantum fluctuation and Mandel’s Q parameter of PSSCL. Using the method of integration within ordered product (IWOP) of operators we also derive the normalization coefficient and explicitly analytical expressions of Wigner function for PSSCL.

Effects on squeezing and sub-poissonian of light in fourth harmonic generation up to first-order Hamiltonian interaction

The effects on squeezing and sub-poissonian of light in fourth harmonic generation (FHG) are investigated based on the fully quantum mechanically up to the first order Hamiltonian interaction in gt, where g is the coupling constant between the modes per second and t is the interaction time between the waves during the process in a nonlinear medium. FHG is a process in which an incident laser beam of the fundamental frequency ω interacts with a nonlinear medium to produce the harmonic frequency at 4ω. The coupled Heisenberg equations of motion involving real and imaginary parts of the quadrature operators are established. The occurrence of amplitude squeezing effects in both the quadratures of the radiation field in the fundamental mode is investigated and found to be dependent on the selective phase values of the field amplitude. The photon statistics of the pump mode in this process have also been investigated and found to be sub-poissonian in nature. It is found that there is no possibility to produce squeezed light in the harmonic mode up to first-order interaction in gt. Further, we have found the case up to second-order Hamiltonian interaction in gt that the normal squeezing in the harmonic mode is directly depends upon the fourth-order squeezing of the initial pump field. This gives a method of converting higher-order (fourth-order) squeezing into normal squeezing in the harmonic mode and vice versa.     

Entropy squeezing and entanglement of the interaction between SU(1,1) and SU(2) quantum systems

The problem of the interaction between two quantum systems namely SU(1,1) and SU(2) is considered. Using the evolution operator technique, an exact solution of the wave function and consequently the density matrix are obtained. The entropy squeezing is examined and it has shown that, different values of the relative phase angle ? as well as the coupling parameter λ lead to different observation of the squeezing in the quadratures. In the meantime, we have shown that the entropy squeezing is also sensitive to the variation in the state angle θ, the detuning parameter Δ in addition to the excitation number m. Moreover, for a large value of the detuning parameter there is a weak entanglement between the atom and the quantum system and vice versa. Furthermore, we find that the Q-function is sensitive to the variation in the excitation number m in addition to the Bargmann index k where the nonclassical effect is pronounced for the even parity.

Nonclassicality of two-mode nonorthogonal states

Nonclassical features of Schrödinger cat state with two-mode superposition state based on two coherent states π out of phase by fixing the relative phase equal to average photon number are discussed. Study of two-mode quadrature squeezing, oscillatory and sub-Poissonian photon statistics show that nonclassicality exists for these states. However, it is observed that the considered states do not violates the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality. Furthermore, simultaneously existence of quadrature squeezing and sub-Poissonian photon statistics shows that these states have more nonclassical features than that of famous even and odd coherent states.

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.     

Phase properties of new even and odd nonlinear coherent states

A new kind of even and odd nonlinear coherent states (EONLCSs) is introduced. Using the Pegg-Barnett formalism of phase operator we study the phase probability distributions of the new kind of EONLCSs. The numerical computation results show that the phase probability distributions for the new EONLCSs can clearly exhibit the different features of quantum interference and distinct from those of the ordinary even and odd coherent states (EOCSs) and EONLCSs. Based on the phase probability distributions we investigate the phase and number squeezing of the new EONLCSs. It is found that these states exhibit number squeezing for different ranges of the parameter |λ|.     

Nonclassicality generated by propagation of atoms through a cavity field

We successively pass two V-type three-level atoms through a single-mode cavity field. Considering the field to be initially in a classical state, we evaluate various statistical properties such as the quasiprobability Q function, Wigner distribution, Mandel?s Q parameter and normal squeezing of the resulted field. We notice that the sequential crossing of atoms induces nonclassicality into the character of a pure classical state (coherent field). The initial thermal field shows sub-Poissonian as well as squeezing property after interacting with the V atoms.     

Quantum Properties of Odd Excited Negative Binomial States of the Radiation Field

The odd excited negative binomial states are introduced using the photon creation operator by repeated application on negative binomialstates. These states interpolate between the odd displaced Fock states and the odd excited pure thermal states. In this paper both squeezing phenomena (normal squeezing and amplitude squared squeezing) are discussed. Besides discussion of the Glauber second-order correlation function, investigations are carried out for the quasi-probability distribution functions (Wigner function and Q-function). Finally the Pegg-Barnett phase probability distribution is computed for these states.     

Dynamical Properties of Some Statistical Quantities for a Quantum System in Generalized Negative Binomial States

We estimate the quantum state of a qubit and a quantized radiation field yielding a generalized negative binomial distribution (GNBD). We give an explicit form for various generalized negative binomial states associated to superposition, even, odd, and q-deformed states. We investigate the dynamical properties of the Mandel parameter as a quantifier of the statistical properties for the radiation field corresponding to its dynamics. We obtain the quantum Fisher information based on the estimation of the atomic state and compare it with the Mandel parameter for different instances of the GNBD. The link between the statistical quantities for different parameters of the GNBD is explored.
