| Abstract: |
A kind of non-Gaussian state-variable arcsine state is studied by using the input-output theories which relate the statistical properties of the output field to those of the input field. The variable arcsine state (VAS) is generated by using a variable beam splitter (BS), which means that the transmissivity (reflectivity) of the BS is adjustable continuously. The nonclassicality is investigated by studying the negativity of Wigner function (WF). It is shown that the variable arcsine state has negative values of WF when transmissivity is not equal to 1 or 0. The decoherence effect of the VAS is then studied by analytically deriving the time evolution formula of WF. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
