Thermo vacuum state for Gaussian-enhanced chaotic light

In nature, there exists superposition of Gaussian light and chaotic light, so we introduce the density operator for describing the Gaussian-enhanced chaotic light (GECL). By virtue of the method of integration within ordered product (IWOP) of operators, we derive its normalization constant. Then, by virtue of the partial trace method, we derive its thermo vacuum state and this may greatly simplify the calculation of photon number average and quantum fluctuation in GECL. It is demonstrated that the second-order degree of coherence of GECL is larger than 2.

Energy distribution in quantized mesoscopic RLC electric circuit

Quantum information processing experimentally depends on optical-electronic devices. In this paper, we consider quantized mesoscopic RLC (resistance, inductance and capacitance) electric circuit in stable case as a quantum statistical ensemble, and calculate energy distribution (i.e. the energy stored in inductance and capacitance as well as the energy consumed on the resistance). For this aim, we employ the technique of integration within ordered product (IWOP) of operator to derive the thermo-vacuum state for this mesoscopic system, with which ensemble average energy calculation is replaced by evaluating expected value in pure state. This approach is concise and the result we deduced is physically appealling.

Evolution of l-photon excited thermo vacuum state in a single-mode damping channel

In this paper, we investigate how a kind of non-Gaussian states (l-photon excited thermo vacuum state [Formula: see text]) evolves in a single-mode damping channel. We find that it evolves into a Laguerre-polynomial-weighted real–fictitious squeezed thermo vacuum state, which exhibits strong decoherence and its original nonclassicality fades. In particular, when l = 0, in this damping process the thermo squeezing effect decreases while the fictitious-mode vacuum becomes chaotic. In overcoming the difficulty of calculation, we employ the summation method within ordered product of operators, a new generating function formula about two-variable Hermite polynomials is derived.

WIGNER FUNCTIONS OF THERMO NUMBER STATE, PHOTON SUBTRACTED AND ADDED THERMO VACUUM STATE AT FINITE TEMPERATURE

Based on Takahashi–Umezawa thermo field dynamics and the order-invariance of Weyl ordered operators under similar transformations, we present a new approach to derive the exact Wigner functions of thermo number state, photon subtracted and added thermo vacuum state. We find that these Wigner functions are related to the Gaussian–Laguerre type functions of temperature, whose statistical properties are then analyzed.
