A bridge between the single-photon and squeezed-vacuum state
نویسندگان
چکیده
The two modes of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen quadrature entangled state generated by parametric down-conversion interfere on a beam splitter of variable splitting ratio. Detection of a photon in one of the beam splitter output channels heralds preparation of a signal state in the other, which is characterized using homodyne tomography. By controlling the beam splitting ratio, the signal state can be chosen anywhere between the single-photon and squeezed state.

متن کاملThe non-deterministic quantum logic operation and teleportation of a vacuum and single photon superposition state via parametric amplifiers
We firstly present an all-optical scheme to implement the non-deterministic quantum logic operation of Knill, Laflamme and Milburn (Nature, 409, 4652(2001)). In our scheme, squeezed vacuum state is acted as auxiliary state instead of single photon resources. Then we demonstrate that same setup can be used to teleport a superposition of vacuum and single photon state of the form α|0 > +β|1 > and...
متن کاملGenerating superposition and entanglement of squeezed vacuum states
We propose a scheme for generating the superposition and the entanglement of squeezed vacuum states of electromagnetical fields. The scheme involves single-photon source, single photon detector, and cross Kerr nonlinearity. The Kerr nonlinearity required for generating the superposition of squeezed vacuum states is 1/2 of that required for generating the superposition of coherent states. The pr...
متن کاملQuantum electrodynamics in the squeezed vacuum state: Feynman rules and corrections to the electron mass and anomalous magnetic moment
Due to the nonvanishing average photon population of the squeezed vacuum state, finite corrections to the scattering matrix are obtained. The lowest order contribution to the electron mass shift for a one mode squeezed vacuum state is given by δm(Ω, s)/m = α(2/π)(Ω/m) sinh(s), where Ω and s stand for the mode frequency and the squeeze parameter and α for the fine structure constant, respectivel...
متن کاملPhase variance of squeezed vacuum states
We consider the problem of estimating the phase of squeezed vacuum states within a Bayesian framework. We derive bounds on the average Holevo variance for an arbitrary number N of uncorrelated copies. We find that it scales with the mean photon number n, as dictated by the Heisenberg limit, i.e., as n−2, only for N 4. For N 4 this fundamental scaling breaks down and it becomes n−N/2. Thus, a si...
