Modified photon-added coherent states: Generation and relatedentangled states
M -L Liang, J -N Zhang, Bing Yuan · Canadian Journal of Physics · 2008
We construct one new type of quantum state that we call the modified photon-added coherent state (MPACS) of the radiation field. These states are created by repeatedly applying the Hermitian operator (a + a+) to the coherent state m times. It turns out that these states are the superpositions of the coherent and the photon-added coherent states, and have highly nonclassical behavior depending on the excitation m and other parameters. The one-mode and two-mode modified entangled coherent states are also studied. MPACS can be generated through the atom-field interaction under the nonrotating wave approximation.
