Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a noiselessly amplified thermal state (ATS), by operating the noiseless amplification operator (gn^g^{\hat{n}}) on the thermal state (TS) with corresponding mean photon number (MPN) nˉ\bar{n}. Actually, the ATS is an new TS with MPN Nˉ=g2nˉ/[1nˉ(g21)]\bar{N}=g^{2}\bar{n}/[1-\bar{n}\left(g^{2}-1\right)]. Furthermore, we introduce photon-added-ATS (PAATS) and photon-subtracted-ATS (PSATS) by operating mm-photon addition (a^m\hat{a}^{\dag m}) and mm-photon subtraction (a^m\hat{a}^{m}) on the ATS, respectively. We study photon number distributions (PNDs), purities, and Wigner functions (WFs) for all these states.
