Thermal state truncation by using quantum-scissors device

Abstract: A non-Gaussian state being a mixture of the vacuum and single-photon states can be generated by truncating a thermal state in a quantum scissors device of Pegg et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 81 (1998) 1604. In contrast to the thermal state, the generated state shows nonclassical property including the negativity of Wigner function. Besides, signal amplification and signal-to-noise ratio enhancement can be achieved.

“…[28,29] To extend the above-mentioned works, thermal state truncation was proposed via QSD to generate a mixture of vacuum and single-photon states. [30] By applying QSDs to both modes of the two-mode squeezed vacuum state (TMSVS), the resulting state was the entangled state composed of the twin vacuum and the twin single-photon, which can realize the enhance of entanglement and the improvement of the fidelity of teleportation. [31] Zhang et al presented a slight modification to propose a catalytic QSD [32] and a displacement-based QSD [33] to truncate the input coherent state, indicating that the output state is a highly nonclassical quantum state.…”

“…[28,29] It has been shown that QSD can be used as a nondeterministic optical noiseless amplifier. [30,31] Since the QSD has a lot of potential applications, [32,33] it is worthwhile to further study the statistics of states generated by a QSD. In this paper, we view the QSD as a black box and feed several different input states, e.g., Fock states, coherent states, and thermal states.…”

“…O trabalho de quantum scissors original explorava apenas o truncamento de estados coerentes na componente de 1 fóton [4]. Porém, estudos mais recentes generalizaram o método para o truncamento de estados térmicos [38], para o truncamento em componentes de número de fótons de maior ordem (o que requer mais estado de Fock) [39] e para o efeito de fotodetecções não ideais no processo [19].…”
