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.     

Non-classical Properties of Photon-Added Compass State

We investigate the observable non-classical features of the photon-added compass state (PACS) by its sub-Poissonian statistics, such as the Mandel’s parameter, second-order correlation function, photon-number distribution and the quasi-probability distribution functions, peculiarly the negativity in the Wigner distribution of the PACS as the specific non-classical features. We study the squeezing properties of the PACS and find the PACS does not show squeezing properties of the quadrature. Finally, we give the non-Gaussianity of the PACS by the fidelity between the PACS and the squeezed coherent state (SCS).

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.     

Non-Gaussianity and decoherence of generalized photon-added coherent state as a Hermite-excited coherent state

Generalized photon-added coherent state (GPACS) is obtained by repeatedly acting the combination of Bose creation and annihilation operations on the coherent state. It is found that GPACS can be regarded as a Hermite-excited coherent state due to its normalization factor related to a Hermite polynomial. In addition, we adopt the Hilbert-Schmidt distance to quantify the non-Gaussian character of GPACS and discuss the decoherence of GPACS in dissipative channel by studying the loss of nonclassicality in reference of the negativity of Wigner function.     

Decoherence of quantum excitation of even/odd coherent states in thermal environment

In this paper, we study the decoherence of quantum excitation (photon-added) even /odd coherent states, \(((\hat a{^{\dagger }})^{m} \left | {\alpha _ \pm } \right \rangle )\), in a thermal environment by investigating the variation of negative part of the Wigner quasidistribution function vs. the rescaled time. For this purpose, at first we obtain the time-dependent Wigner function corresponding to the mentioned states in the framework of standard master equation. Then, the time evolution of the Wigner function associated with photon-added even /odd coherent states, as well as the number of added photons m are analysed. It is shown that, in both states, the negative part of the Wigner function decreases with time. By deriving the threshold value of the rescaled time for single photon-added even /odd coherent states, it is also found that, if the rescaled time exceeds the threshold value, the associated Wigner function becomes positive, i.e., the decoherence occurs completely.     

Non-classical Properties of State Generated by the Superposition of Photon-Added Even/Odd Coherent States

Non-classical state, which is a production of the superposition of photon-added even/odd coherent states (SPAEOCS), is introduced. We discussed the mathematical and physical character of such state. It is found that the normalization constant of SPAEOCS is a laguerre polynomial. The quasi-probability distributions and the distribution of the quadrature are studied. We find the negative values of the Wigner function of the SPAEOCS, which shows the SPAEOCS is a non-Gaussian state.     

Nonclassicality of photon-modulated spin coherent states in the Holstein—Primakoff realization

Two new photon-modulated spin coherent states (SCSs) are introduced by operating the spin ladder operators J_± on the ordinary SCS in the Holstein-Primakoff realization and the nonclassicality is exhibited via their photon number distribution, second-order correlation function, photocount distribution and negativity of Wigner distribution. Analytical results show that the photocount distribution is a Bernoulli distribution and the Wigner functions are only associated with two-variable Hermite polynomials. Compared with the ordinary SCS, the photon-modulated SCSs exhibit more stronger nonclassicality in certain regions of the photon modulated number k and spin number j, which means that the nonclassicality can be enhanced by selecting suitable parameters.

Nonclassicality Generated by Applying Hermite–Polynomials Photon-Added Operator on the Even/Odd Coherent States

We examine nonclassical properties of the quantum state generated by applying Hermite polynomials photon-added operator on the even/odd coherent state (HPECS/HPOCS). Explicit expressions for its nonclassical properties, such as quantum statistical properties and squeezing phenomenon, are obtained. It is interesting to find that the HPECS/HPOCS exhibits sub-Poissonian distribution, anti-bunching effects and negative values of the Wigner function. Thus, we confirm the HPPECS/HPPOCS is a new nonclassical state. Finally, we reveal that the HPPECS/HPPOCS is a novel intelligent state by its squeezing effects in position distribution and quadrature squeezing.     

Statistical Properties of the Generalized Photon-Added Pair Coherent State

We present a class of generalized photon-added pair coherent states (GPAPCS) and analyze some prominent nonclassical properties such as sub-Poissonian distribution and violations of Cauchy-Schwarz inequalities. In addition, we derive that the Wigner function of GPAPCS involves correlation of two two-variable Hermite polynomials and its Husimi function is related to a two-variable Hermite polynomial. Their behaviors varying with the phase space parameters are also graphically discussed. We find that the nonclassical effects of GPAPCS exhibits more with increasing of excitation photon numbers.     

Decoherence and Fidelity in Teleportation of Coherent Photon-Added Two-Mode Squeezed Thermal States

We theoretically introduce a kind of non-Gaussian entangled resources, i.e., coherent photon-added two-mode squeezed thermal states (CPA-TMSTS), by successively performing coherent photon addition operation to the two-mode squeezed thermal states. The normalization factor related to bivariate Hermite polynomials is obtained. Based upon it, the nonclassicality and decoherence process are analyzed by virtue of the Wigner function. It is shown that the coherent photon addition operation is an effective way in generating partial negative values of Wigner function, which clearly manifests the nonclassicality and non-Gaussianity of the target states. Additionally, the fidelity in teleporting coherent states using CPA-TMSTS as entangled resource is quantified both analytically and numerically. It is found that the CPA-TMSTS is an entangled resource of high-efficiency and high-fidelity in quantum teleportation.     

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.

Statistical Properties of Photon-Added Two-Mode Squeezed Coherent States

The nonclassical and non-Gaussian quantum states—photon-added two-mode squeezed coherent states have been theoretically introduced by adding multiple photons to each mode of the two-mode squeezed coherent states. Starting from the new expression of two-mode squeezing operator in entangled states representation, the normalization factor is obtained, which is directly related to bivariate Hermite polynomials. The sub-Poissonian photon statistics, cross-correlation between two modes, partial negative Wigner function are observed, which fully reflect the nonclassicality of the target states. The negative Wigner function often display non-Gaussian distribution meanwhile. The investigations may provide experimentalists with some better references in quantum engineering.     

Decoherence of Photon-Added Schrödinger Cat States in Thermal Environment

We analyze the statistical properties and decoherence of the field states produced by adding any number of photons to the Schrodinger Cat states (SCSs) in a thermal environment. It is found that the normalization factor of PA-SCS is the Hermite polynomial of the coherent factor α. The statistical properties and decoherence is discussed by deriving analytically the time evolution of the Q-function, Wigner function and the photon-number distribution. It is shown that the single photon-added even SCSs, the Wigner function is always positive in the whole phase space when κt exceeds the threshold value $\frac{1}{2}\ln [ ( 2\bar{n}+2 ) / ( 2\bar{n}+1 ) ] $ . This implies that the single photon-added even SCSs possesses a robustness due to the presence of photon-addition, which can also be seen from the point of view of the volume of negative region of Wigner function.
