A comparison between higher-order nonclassicalities of SUP-engineered coherent and thermal states

We consider an experimentally obtainable SUP operator, defined by using a generalized superposition of products of field annihilation (a) and creation (a^†) operators of the type, A = saa^† + ta^†a with s² + t²=1. We apply this SUP operator on coherent and thermal quantum states, the states thus produced are referred as SUP-operated coherent state (SOCS) and SUP-operated thermal state (SOTS), respectively. In the present work, we report a comparative study between the higher-order nonclassical properties of SOCS and SOTS. The comparison is performed by using a set of nonclassicality witnesses (e.g., higher-order antiubunching, higher-order sub-Poissonian photon statistics, higher-order squeezing, Agarwal-Tara parameter, Klyshko's condition). The existence of higher-order nonclassicalities in SOCS and SOTS have been investigated for the first time. In view of possible experimental verification of the proposed scheme, we present exact calculations to reveal the effect of non-unit quantum efficiency of quantum detector on higher-order nonclassicalities.

Maximally Entangled SU(1,1) Semi Coherent States

In this paper, we consider a special type of maximally entangled states namely by entangled SU(1,1) semi coherent states by using SU(1,1) semi coherent states(SU(1,1) Semi CS). The entanglement characteristics of these entangled states are studied by evaluating the concurrence.We investigate some of their nonclassical properties,especially probability distribution function,second-order correlation function and quadrature squeezing . Further, the quasiprobability distribution functions (Q-functions) is discussed.

Quantum Features of Atom–Field Systems in the Framework of Deformed Fields

We propose a new kind of Schrödinger cat state introduced as a superposition of spin coherent states in the framework of noncommutative spaces. We analyze the nonclassical features for these noncommutative deformed states in terms of the main physical parameters. The physical importance of deformed states is that they provide a convenient description of a large set of laser systems. As an application, we develop the Jaynes–Cummings model by considering the interaction among atoms and cat state fields associated to deformed spin algebras. In this context, we show the dynamical behavior of the nonlocal correlation and nonclassical properties in these quantum systems.

Controlling nonclassical properties of optomechanical systems under the Coulomb interaction effect

In an optomechanical system consisting of two Fabry–Pérot cavities fed by squeezed light and coupled via Coulomb interaction, we respectively use the logarithmic negativity, Gaussian discord and Gaussian coherence to analyze the behavior of three different indicators of nonclassicality, namely the entanglement, quantum discord and quantum coherence. We perform the rotating wave approximation and work in the resolved sideband regime. In two bi-mode states (optical and mechanical), the coherence is generally found to be greater than entanglement and discord. More interestingly, we show that the Coulomb interaction can be used either to degrade or enhance the nonclassical properties of the optical subsystem. In addition, compared with the discord and coherence, the mechanical entanglement is found strongly sensitive to both thermal and Coulomb effects, and it requires a minimum value of cooperativity to be generated. Remarkably, this minimum increases when increasing the Coulomb coupling strength. Finally, we notice that an optimal transfer of quantum correlations between the optical and mechanical subsystems is achieved in the absence of the Coulomb interaction.
