Quantum Fisher Information in the Generalized One-axis Twisting Model

We investigate the quantum Fisher information (QFI) of symmetric states for spin-s particles. We derive the maximal QFI, and find that quantum spin correlations are essential ingredients of the maximal QFI. We make applications to the generalized one-axis twisting model. The results show that the redistributions of uncertainties on the basis of the quantum correlations in the multiqubit system are useful for sub-shot-noise phase sensitivity. Furthermore, for high-spin (s>1/2) composite systems, we find a sufficient criterion for entanglement.     

Even and odd q-coherent states in a finite-dimensional basis and their squeezing properties

The even and odd coherent states of a deformed harmonic oscillator in a finites-dimensional Hilbert space are studied. It is shown that both fors even ands odd, the even q-coherent states exhibit quadrature and amplitude-squared squeezing, while the odd q-coherent states show an antibunching effect and amplitude-squared squeezing.     

Excited Two-Mode Generalized Squeezed Vacuum State as a Squeezed Two-Variable Hermite Polynomial Excitation State

A new class of excited two-mode generalized squeezed vacuum states denoted by |r,s,m,n〉 are presented, which are obtained by repeatedly applying creation operators a ^† and b ^† on the two-mode generalized squeezed vacuum state. We find that it is just regarded as a generalized squeezed two-variable Hermite polynomial excitation on the vacuum state and its normalization constant is just a Jacobi polynomial. Their statistical properties are investigated such as squeezing properties, photon number distribution and the violations of Cauchy-Schwartz inequality. Especially, the Wigner function for |r,s,m,n〉 depending on the excitation photon numbers is discussed graphically.     

Spin squeezing in Dicke-class of states with non-orthogonal spinors

The celebrated Majorana representation is exploited to investigate spin squeezing in different classes of pure symmetric states of N qubits with two distinct spinors, namely the Dicke-class of states. On obtaining a general expression for spin squeezing parameter, the variation of squeezing for different configurations is studied in detail. It is shown that the states in the Dicke-class, characterized by two-distinct non-orthogonal spinors, exhibit squeezing.     

Linear amplifier via the displaced Fock states superposition

The linear amplifier with the superposition of displaced Fock states (DFS’s) as an input field is discussed. The s-parameterized characteristic function (CF) of linear amplifier for the superposition of two DFS’s is considered. Several quantum statistical expectation values for the output of linear amplifier are evaluated once the time dependent CF has been computed. The Glauber secondorder coherence function is calculated. The squeezing properties of the output field are studied. The s-ordered quasiprobability distribution function (QDF) for the output of linear amplifier driven by DFS’s superposition is investigated. The phase properties of the superposition of DFS’s are studied. The s-parameterized phase distribution, obtained by integrating the s-parameterized QDF over radial variable is illustrated.     

Non-gauge spin-32 fields from supercovariantly constant spinors

We point out a limiting procedure which enables one to construct in supergravity theories non-gauge, linearized spin-$\text{3}\text{2}$ fields with the aid of the supercovariantly constant spinors. We give an explicit application of the procedure for N = 2 supergravity.     

Spin Squeezing of 4-Qubit State

We investigate the spin squeezing of a 4-qubit state, which is superposed by a 4-qubit GHZ state and two W states with a relative phase. Numerically solution for spin squeezing parameter is given. It is shown that the parameter depends on the superposition coefficients and the relative phase. It is shown that spin squeezing exists over a relatively long time with increasing superposition coefficient γ and the smaller the value of relative phase is, the longer the time of existing spin squeezing.     

Mean spin direction and spin squeezing in superpositions of spin coherent states

We consider the mean spin direction (MSD) of superpositions of two spin coherent states (SCS) | ± μ〉, and superpositions of | μ〉 and | μ*〉 with a relative phase. We find that the azimuthal angle exhibits a π transition for both states when we vary the relative phase. The spin squeezing of the states, and the bosonic counterpart of the mean spin direction are also discussed.      

Photon-Added SU(1, 1) Coherent States and their Non-Classical Properties

The photon-added coherent states of Barut-Girardello and Perelomov types are constructed using Holstein-Primakoff realization of the su(1, 1) Lie algebra. Basic properties of the constructed states have been discussed. In addition, their non-classical features have been analyzed by computing photon detection probability distribution, Mandel Q-parameter and quadrature squeezing. It is shown that SU(1, 1) photon-added coherent states may exhibit sub-Poissonian statistics and quadrature squeezing for a chosen set of parameters. Moreover, it has been observed that their non-classical behavior increases as the number of added-photons increases.

     

Statistical properties of the output of linear amplifier with superpositions of squeezed displaced Fock states as an input state

The s-parameterized characteristic function for the output field with the superposition of squeezed displaced Fock states (SDFS's) as input field is given. The s-ordered distribution functions for the output field with superposition of SDFS's as input state are investigated. Various moments are calculated by using the s-ordered characteristic function for that field. The Glauber second-order coherence function is calculated. The quadrature squeezing for the output field are discussed. Some Quasiprobability distribution functions of the output fields are plotted as functions of the interaction time. The quadrature squeezing for the output field are discussed. Received 30 September 1998     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(2) invariants of symmetric qubit states

We express the density matrix for the N-qubit symmetric state or spin-j state (j = N/2) in terms of the well-known Fano statistical tensor parameters. Employing the multi-axial representation, where the spin-j density matrix is shown to be characterized by j(2j + 1) axes and 2j real scalars, we enumerate the number of invariants constructed out of these axes and scalars. We calculate these invariants explicitly in the particular case of the pure and mixed spin-1 state.     

Quantum Fisher Information in Two-Qubit Pure States

In terms of quantum Fisher information (QFI), a quantity χ ² was introduced by Pezzé and Smerzi (Phys. Rev. Lett. 102 100401, 2009). They pointed out that the inequality χ ²<1 was a sufficient condition for multiparticle entanglement. For the two-qubit symmetric states, we found that the inequality χ ²<1 is a necessary and sufficient condition for entanglement and spin squeezing, and that χ ² is equal to the second kind of spin squeezing parameter x₂²\xi _{2}^{2}. For the two-qubit asymmetric states, it is only a sufficient condition. In order to make it a necessary and sufficient condition, we extend the concept of the QFI and χ ², and generalize the relations among the entanglement measurement, the spin squeezing parameters and χ ² in symmetric pure states to arbitrary pure states.     

Generalized Two-Mode Squeezed States and Some Nonclassical Characteristics

A class of generalized two-mode squeezed states |φ〉 is presented, which are generated from the generalized two-mode squeezing operator U(γ,λ) acting on the two-mode coherent state |α ₁,α ₂〉. We first investigate some mathematical properties of U(γ,λ) including the squeezing transformation under U(γ,λ), ket-bra integral form in the coordinate representation, normally ordered form. Then we evaluate some nonclassical characteristics of the state |φ〉 such as higher-order squeezing behavior, entanglement analysis and analytical expression of the Wigner function.     

Hertz Potentials and Asymptotic Properties of Massless Fields

In this paper we analyze Hertz potentials for free massless spin-s fields on the Minkowski spacetime, with data in weighted Sobolev spaces. We prove existence and pointwise estimates for the Hertz potentials using a weighted estimate for the wave equation. This is then applied to give weighted estimates for the solutions of the spin-s field equations, for arbitrary half-integer s. In particular, the peeling properties of the free massless spin-s fields are analyzed for initial data in weighted Sobolev spaces with arbitrary, non-integer weights.     

Photon Modulated Coherent States of a Generalized Isotonic Oscillator by Weyl Ordering and their Non-Classical Properties

We construct photon modulated coherent states of a generalized isotonic oscillator by expanding the newly introduced superposed operator through Weyl ordering method. We evaluate the parameter A ₃ and the s-parameterized quasi probability distribution function to confirm the non - classical nature of the states. We also calculate the identities related with the quadrature squeezing to explore the squeezing property of the states. Finally, we investigate the fidelity between the photon modulated coherent states and coherent states to quantify the non-Gaussianity of the states. The constructed states and their associated non - classical properties will add further knowledge on the potential.     

Exact solution for the spin-s XXZ quantum chain with non-diagonal twists

We study integrable vertex models and quantum spin chains with toroidal boundary conditions. An interesting class of such boundaries is associated with non-diagonal twist matrices. For such models there are no trivial reference states upon which a Bethe ansatz calculation can be constructed, in contrast to the well-known case of periodic boundary conditions. In this paper we show how the transfer matrix eigenvalue expression for the spin-s XXZ chain twisted by the charge-conjugation matrix can in fact be obtained. The technique used is the generalization to spin-s of the functional relation method based on “pair propagation through a vertex”. The Bethe ansatz-type equations obtained reduce, in the case of lattice size N = 1, to those recently found for the Hofstadter problem of Bloch electrons on a square lattice in a magnetic field.     

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.     

Physical states and BRST operators for higher-spin <Emphasis Type="Italic">W</Emphasis> strings

In this paper, we mainly investigate the W _2,s ^M ⊗ W _2,s ^L system, in which the matter and the Liouville subsystems generate the W _2,s ^M and W _2,s ^L algebras, respectively. We first give a brief discussion of the physical states for the corresponding W strings. The lower states are given by freezing the spin-2 and spin-s currents. Then, introducing two pairs of ghost-like fields, we give the realizations of the W _1,2,s algebras. Based on these linear realizations, the BRST operators for the W _2,s algebras are obtained. Finally, we construct new BRST charges of the Liouville system for the W _2,s ^L strings at the specific values of the central charges c: for the W _2,3^L algebra, c=−24 for the W _2,4^L algebra and for the W _2,6^L algebra, at which the corresponding W _2,s ^L algebras are singular.     

Spin Squeezing in Superpositions of GHZ State and W States

We investigate the spin squeezing in superpositions of a N-qubit GHZ state and two W states. The spin squeezing parameter is determined by the superposition coefficients and the relative phase. It is shown that there is squeezing in the n ₂ direction and there is no squeezing in the n ₁ direction. It is also shown that the state with more number of qubits has smaller spin squeezing parameter.     

The Bethe-Salpeter equation for spin-1 particles

We develop here the general treatment of the Bethe—Salpeter equation for the bound state of two spin-l particles interacting through an electromagnetic interaction. The treatment here, which can be generalized to strong interactions, combines the two-component approach utilized previously by the author in conjunction with spontaneous symmetry breaking. This is done by using a Lagrangian having SU(2)×U(1) symmetry (without fermions) and then choosing the ′t Hooft gauge. In this way, a renormalizable theory for the interaction of two spin-l particles via an electromagnetic interaction is ensured.
