States interpolating between number and coherent states and their interaction with atomic systems

Using the eigenvalue definition of binomial states we construct new intermediate number-coherent states which reduce to number and coherent states in two different limits. We reveal the connection of these intermediate states with photon-added coherent states and investigate their non-classical properties and quasi-probability distributions in detail. It is of interest to note that these new states, which interpolate between coherent states and number states, neither of which exhibit squeezing, are nevertheless squeezed states. A scheme to produce these states is proposed. We also study the interaction of these states with atomic systems in the framework of the two-photon Jaynes-Cummings model, and describe the response of the atomic system as it varies between the pure Rabi oscillation and the collapse-revival mode and investigate field observables such as photon number distribution, entropy and the Q-function.

Optimal Signal-to-Quantum Noise Ratio for Nonclassical Number States

We analyze the properties of nonclassical number states, specifically squeezed number states D(a)S(z)|n >, and find their maximum signal-to-quantum noise ratio. It is shown that the optimal signal-to-quantum noise ratio for these states decreases as 1/(2n+1)2, where n is the photon number, from the optimal value as derived by Yuen.
