Laguerre polynomial excited coherent states generated by multiphoton catalysis: Nonclassicality and Decoherence


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We theoretically introduce a new kind of non-Gaussian state-----Laguerre polynomial excited coherent states by using the multiphoton catalysis which actually can be considered as a block comprising photon number operator. It is found that the normalized factor is related to the two-variable Hermite polynomials. We then investigate the nonclassical properties in terms of Mandels Q parameter, quadrature squeezing, second correlation, and the negativity of Wigner function (WF). It is shown that all these properties are related to the amplitude of coherent state, catalysis number and unbalanced beam splitter (BS). In particular, the maximum degree of squeezing can be enhanced as catalysis number and keeps a constant for single-photon catalysis. In addition, we examine the effect of decoherence by Wigner function, which show that the negative region, characteristic time of decoherence and structure of WF are affected by catalysis number and unbalanced BS. Our work provides a general analysis about how to prepare theoretically polynomials quantum states.
