Orthonormalized eigenstates of the quantum operator a k and their nonclassical properties

Orthonormalized eigenstates of the quantum operator a k and their nonclassical properties A method for construction of the k orthonormalized quantum eigenstates of the higher powers a k of the quantum-annihilation operator a is proposed, and their physical meaning is explored. Nonclassical properties of these quantum eigenstates are studied and the main results are as follows: (1) All of the eigenstates can be expressed as a linear superposition of k quantum-coherent states; (2) all of them are generalized quantum-coherent states; (3) for k ≥3, they have the N th-order quantum squeezing for N = mk + k /2 ( m =0,1,2, . . .) and even k , but no N th-order quantum squeezing for other values of N and k ; (4) for k ≥3, all of them exhibit the lowest- and higher-order quantum antibunching. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Physical Review A American Physical Society (APS)

Abstract

A method for construction of the k orthonormalized quantum eigenstates of the higher powers a k of the quantum-annihilation operator a is proposed, and their physical meaning is explored. Nonclassical properties of these quantum eigenstates are studied and the main results are as follows: (1) All of the eigenstates can be expressed as a linear superposition of k quantum-coherent states; (2) all of them are generalized quantum-coherent states; (3) for k ≥3, they have the N th-order quantum squeezing for N = mk + k /2 ( m =0,1,2, . . .) and even k , but no N th-order quantum squeezing for other values of N and k ; (4) for k ≥3, all of them exhibit the lowest- and higher-order quantum antibunching.
