量子光学中的非经典态

本文扼要地介绍了光子数态、热光场态、相干态、压缩态、相位态和中间态等。重点是介绍它们的物理性质。例如,指出相干态在谐振子座标表象中的表示就是带电谐振子在均匀电场中的基态波函数;它的时间演化波包的概率密度分布,形状不随时间变但中心位置随时间作周期振荡。文中对相干态和压缩态等提供了也许是一点新的看法：将相干态、压缩真空态、压缩相干态和相干压缩态等看作是一准玻色子的基态或相干态。而实现的手段可以是原来的幺正算符也可以是投影算符。这样的好处是：（１）对相干态和压缩态间的联系有更深的认识;（２）便于计算和进一步展开等等。文中还对各个态的压缩性、统计性等作了介绍,有的还用图表等演示了它们的非类经典特性。最后,文中还介绍了准概率分布函数、相空间技术以及它们的应用并给出了示例     

Classical formulation of quantum mechanics

The concept of quantum state is given in terms of classical probability for position in squeezed and rotated classical reference frames in phase space. Stationary states and energy levels of the quantum system are obtained in a classical formulation of quantum mechanics. The positive probability density of the harmonic oscillator position is obtained by solving a new eigenvalue equation of standard quantum mechanics instead of the Schrödinger equation. The orthogonality and completeness relations are found for the eigendistributions.     

The driven-oscillator evolution in the tomographic-probability representation

We consider the problem of the driven harmonic oscillator in the probability representation of quantum mechanics, where the oscillator states are described by fair nonnegative probability distributions of position measured in rotated and squeezed reference frames in the system??s phase space. For some specific oscillator states like coherent states and nth excited states, the tomographic-probability distributions (called the state tomograms) are found in an explicit form. The evolution equation for the tomograms is discussed for the classical and quantum driven oscillators, and the tomographic propagator for this equation is studied.     

Interpretation of the Quantum Measurement: Example of a Linearly Coupled Harmonic Oscillator

We argue that it may be possible to consistently explain the quantum measurement by assuming that the wave function is in one-to-one correspondence with objective physical reality and has no probabilistic interpretation. In the context of such approach we consider the model of a harmonic oscillator linearly coupled to a heat bath and treat the oscillator as the system being measured. Three classes of initial pure states for the bath are considered. Exact expressions for the average values and variances of the oscillator coordinate and momentum as functions of time are considered for each class of pure states. It is shown that these quantities exhibit different asymptotic behavior for different classes of initial states of the bath. In particular, if each mode of the bath is initially in a coherent state, then for an arbitrary initial state of the oscillator the variances of the oscillator coordinate and momentum asymptotically approach the same values as for a coherent state of the free oscillator, while the averages of coordinate and momentum show a Brownian-like behavior. We argue that such behavior shows several features of the quantum measurement and supports our interpretation of the wave function.     

New uncertainty relations for tomographic entropy: application to squeezed states and solitons

Using the tomographic probability distribution (symplectic tomogram) describing the quantum state (instead of the wave function or density matrix) and properties of recently introduced tomographic entropy associated with the probability distribution, the new uncertainty relation for the tomographic entropy is obtained. Examples of the entropic uncertainty relation for squeezed states and solitons of the Bose-Einstein condensate are considered.

Quantum fidelity of Gaussian states in open systems

Using the expression of the fidelity for the most general Gaussian quantum states, the behaviour of the quantum fidelity is described for the states of a harmonic oscillator interacting with an environment, in particular with a thermal bath. By taking a correlated squeezed Gaussian state as initial state, we calculate the quantum fidelity for both kinds of undisplaced and displaced states, and for different values of the squeezing and correlation parameters and of the environment temperature.     

Quantum fidelity for Gaussian states describing the evolution of open systems

Using the expression of the fidelity for the most general Gaussian quantum states, the quantum fidelity is studied for the states of a harmonic oscillator interacting with an environment, in particular with a thermal bath. The time evolution of the considered system is described in the framework of the theory of open systems based on quantum dynamical semigroups. By taking a correlated squeezed Gaussian state as initial state, we calculate the quantum fidelity for both undisplaced and displaced states. The time evolution of the quantum fidelity is analyzed depending on the squeezing and correlation parameters characterizing the initial Gaussian state and on the dissipation constant and temperature of the thermal bath.     

Dynamical correlations of negativity and entropy for pure and mixed states in two coupled quartic oscillators

Various measures of entanglement have triggered considerable interest in the relationship between entanglement measures and other well-known quantities. As a demonstration, the dynamical correlation of negativity and entropy is studied in two coupled quartic oscillators for initial pure and mixed states that are respectively taken to be the products and mixed density matrices of coherent states and squeezed states on each oscillator. The correlation with energy is also considered. It is shown that for the initial pure states with a small magnitude, two negativities are positively correlated with the von Neumann entropy while they are anti-correlated with the energy of each oscillator in the weak coupling regime. For mixed states with a small magnitude the two negativities and the mutual entropy exhibit dominantly positive correlation, whereas those three quantities are dominantly anti-correlated with the sum of energies of two oscillators in the case of weak interactions. Such correlation behaviors in the mixed state with small magnitudes are most striking at the same step in maximal and minimal values and in oscillation. The differences in entropies and negativities between coherent states and squeezed states are discussed. These are useful for quantum entanglement and quantum information processing.     

Generation of a superposition of odd photon number states for quantum information networks

We report on the experimental observation of quantum-network-compatible light described by a nonpositive Wigner function. The state is generated by photon subtraction from a squeezed vacuum state produced by a continuous wave optical parametric amplifier. Ideally, the state is a coherent superposition of odd photon number states, closely resembling a superposition of weak coherent states |alpha > - |-alpha >. In the limit of low squeezing the state is basically a single photon state. Light is generated with about 10,000 and more events per second in a nearly perfect spatial mode with a Fourier-limited frequency bandwidth which matches well atomic quantum memory requirements. The generated state of light is an excellent input state for testing quantum memories, quantum repeaters, and linear optics quantum computers.     

Quantum mechanics of a general driven time-dependent oscillator

Summary In this paper we investigate the time evolution of a general driven time-dependent oscillator using the evolution operator method developed by Chenget al. We obtain an exact form of the time evolution operator which, in turn, enables us to find the exact wave functions and coherent states at any timet. Our analyses indicate that the time-dependent coherent state is equivalent to the well-known squeezed state, while the time-dependent number state is equivalent to the displaced and squeezed number state. Besides, we also calculate the time-dependent transition probabilities among the coherent states and number states of a simple harmonic oscillator associated with the initial HamiltonianH(0).

Optical experiments beyond the quantum limit: Squeezing,entanglement, and teleportation

Results of experiments recently performed are reported, in which two optical parametric amplifiers were set up to generate two independently quadrature squeezed continuous wave laser beams. The transformation of quadrature squeezed states into polarization squeezed states and into states with spatial quantum correlations is demonstrated. By utilizing two squeezed laser beams, a polarization squeezed state exhibiting three simultaneously squeezed Stokes operator variances was generated. Continuous variable polarization entanglement was generated and the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox was observed. A pair of Stokes operators satisfied both the inseparability criterion and the conditional variance criterion. Values of 0.49 and 0.77, respectively, were observed, with entanglement requiring values below unity. The inseparability measure of the observed quadrature entanglement was 0.44. This value is sufficient for a demonstration of quantum teleportation, which is the next experimental goal of the authors.     

A tighter steering criterion using the Robertson–Schrödinger uncertainty relation

We consider quantum steering by non-Gausssian entangled states. The Reid steering criterion based on the Heisenberg uncertainty relation fails to detect steerability for many categories of such states. Here, we derive a tighter steering criterion using the Robertson–Schrödinger uncertainty relation. We show that our steering condition is able to detect steerability of several classes of non-Gaussian states such as entangled eigenstates of the two-dimensional harmonic oscillator, the photon subtracted squeezed vacuum state and the NOON state.

Photon Statistics of Generic Two-Mode Squeezed Coherent Light

for two-mode squeezed coherent states, the photon distribution function is expressed in terms of both four-variable and two-variable Hermite polynomials depending on two squeezing parameters, the relative phase between the two oscillators, their “spatial” orientation, and a four-dimensional shift in phase space of the electromagnetic field oscillator. The oscillations of the photon distribution function are discussed. The Wigner function and Q-function of the generic two-mode squeezed vacuum and squeezed coherent state are calculated explicitly.
