Nonclassicality of photon-added squeezed vacuum states

By applying the bosonic creation operator to squeezed vacuum states, this paper introduces a new kind of quantum states: photon-added squeezed vacuum states. It also presents an experimental approach to prepare these states, and investigates their quantum statistical properties by the numerical method. The results indicate that these states reveal some interesting non-classical properties, such as anti-bunching effects, squeezing effects and negativities of the relevant Wigner functions.     

Decoherence of photon-subtracted squeezed vacuum state in dissipative channel

This paper investigates the decoherence of photo-subtracted squeezed vacuum state (PSSVS) in dissipative channel by describing its statistical properties with time evolution such as Wigner function,Husimi function,and tomogram.It first calculates the normalization factor of PSSVS related to Legendre polynomial.After deriving the normally ordered density operator of PSSVS in dissipative channel,one obtains the explicit analytical expressions of time evolution of PSSVS’s statistical distribution function.It finds that these statistical distributions loss their non-Gaussian nature and become Gaussian at last in the dissipative environment as expected.     

Deformed photon-added entangled squeezed vacuum and one-photon states: Entanglement,polarization, and nonclassical properties

In this paper, after a brief review on the entangled squeezed states, we produce a new class of the continuous-variabletype entangled states, namely, deformed photon-added entangled squeezed states. These states are obtained via the iterated action of the f-deformed creation operator A = f(n)aon the entangled squeezed states. In the continuation, by studying the criteria such as the degree of entanglement, quantum polarization as well as sub-Poissonian photon statistics, the twomode correlation function, one-mode and two-mode squeezing, we investigate the nonclassical behaviors of the introduced states in detail by choosing a particular f-deformation function. It is revealed that the above-mentioned physical properties can be affected and so may be tuned by justifying the excitation number, after choosing a nonlinearity function. Finally, to generate the introduced states, we propose a theoretical scheme using the nonlinear Jaynes–Cummings model.     

Generation of cluster-type entangled squeezed vacuum states

We present a scheme to prepare cluster-type entangled squeezed vacuum states （CTESVS） by considering the two-photon interaction between a two-level atom and a high-quality cavity, driven by a strong classical field. After the realization of simple atomic measurements, the generation of CTESVS in four separate cavities is accomplished within the cavity decay time. In the case of large atom=cavity detuning, the scheme is immune to the effect of atomic spontaneous emission.     

A new type of photon-added squeezed coherent state and its statistical properties

We construct a new type of photon-added squeezed coherent state generated by repeatedly operating the bosonic creation operator on a new type of squeezed coherent state [Fan H Y and Xiao M 1996 Phys. Lett. A 220 81]. We find that its normalization factor is related to single-variable Hermite polynomials. Furthermore, we investigate its statistical properties, such as Mandel’s Q parameter, photon-number distribution, and Wigner function. The nonclassicality is displayed in terms of the intense oscillation of photon-number distribution and the negativity of the Wigner function.     

Wigner function and density operator of the photon-subtracted squeezed thermal state

By using the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators, the normal ordered density operator of the photon-subtracted squeezed thermal state (PSSTS) is derived. Then the corresponding Wigner function is presented by using the coherent state representation of the Wigner operator. The nonclassical properties of the PSSTS are discussed based on the negativity of the Wigner function.

Quantum teleportation of entangled squeezed vacuum states

An optical scheme for probabilistic teleporting entangled squeezed vacuum states (SVS) is proposed. In this scheme, the teieported state is a bipartite entangled SVS, and the quantum channel is a tripartite entangled SVS. The process of the teleportation is achieved by using a 50/50 symmetric beamsplitter and photon detectors with the help of classical information.

Quantum phase distribution and the number—phase Wigner function of the generalized squeezed vacuum states associated with solvable quantum systems

The quantum phase properties of the generalized squeezed vacuum states associated with solvable quantum systems are studied by using the Pegg-Barnett formalism.Then,two nonclassical features,i.e.,squeezing in the number and phase operators,as well as the number-phase Wigner function of the generalized squeezed states are investigated.Due to some actual physical situations,the present approach is applied to two classes of generalized squeezed states:solvable quantum systems with discrete spectra and nonlinear squeezed states with particular nonlinear functions.Finally,the time evolution of the nonclassical properties of the considered systems has been numerically investigated.

Quantum statistical properties of photon-added spin coherent states

The photon-added spin coherent state as a new kind of coherent state has been defined by iterated actions of the proper raising operator on the ordinary spin coherent state. In this paper, the quantum statistical properties of photon-added spin coherent states such as photon number distribution, second-order correlation function and Wigner function are studied. It is found that the Wigner function shows the negativity in some regions and the second-order correlation function is less than unity. Therefore, the photon-added spin coherent state is a nonclassical state.     

Generalized photon-added coherent state and its quantum statistical properties

In this paper, we propose a class of the generalized photon-added coherent states (GPACSs) obtained by repeatedly operating the combination of Bosonic creation and annihilation operatoes on the coherent state. The normalization factor of GPACS is related to Hermite polynomial. We also derive the explicit expressions of its statistical properties such as photocount distribution, Wigner function and tomogram and investigate their behaviour as the photon-added number varies graphically. It is found that GPACS is a kind of nonclassical state since Wigner function exhibits the negativity by increasing the photon-added number.

Statistical properties of photon-added and photon-subtracted two-mode squeezed vacuum state

We introduce photon-added and photon-subtracted two-mode squeezed vacuum states and examine the quantum statistical properties of these states by analytic calculating. Because of the entanglement between the modes of the field in a two-mode squeezed state, photon adding (or subtracting) for one of the modes results in interesting outcome.     

Realistic teleportation of coherent states using squeezed vacuum states

This paper presents a realistic scheme for the teleportation of coherent states in which a two-mode squeezed vacuum state serves as the quantum channel and the position-sum and momentum-difference of two local modes serve as the measuring observables. The average fidelity of the teleportation of coherent states is derived for finite squeezing parameters and it turns out that fidelity greater than 1/2 cannot be achieved by using a classical channel alone and the probability distribution of the measurement result is a Gaussian distribution around the unknown parameter of the input coherent state with a width given by the squeezing parameter.     

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.     

Statistical properties of coherent photon-subtracted two-mode squeezed vacuum and its application in quantum teleportation

We introduce a kind of non-Gaussian entangled state, which can be obtained by operating a non-local coherent photon-subtraction operation on a two-mode squeezed vacuum. It is found that its normalization factor is only related to the Legendre polynomials, which is a compact expression. Its statistical properties are discussed by the negative region Wigner function with the analytical expression. As an application, the quantum teleportation for coherent states is considered by using the non-Gaussian state as an entangled channel. It is found that the teleportation fidelity can be enhanced by this non-Gaussian operation.     

Photon statistical properties of photon-added two-mode squeezed coherent states

We investigate photon statistical properties of the multiple-photon-added two-mode squeezed coherent states(PATMSCS).We find that the photon statistical properties are sensitive to the compound phase involved in the TMSCS.Our numerical analyses show that the photon addition can enhance the cross-correlation and anti-bunching effects of the PATMSCS.Compared with that of the TMSCS,the photon number distribution of the PA-TMSCS is modulated by a factor that is a monotonically increasing function of the numbers of adding photons to each mode;further,that the photon addition essentially shifts the photon number distribution.
