Temporal second-order coherence function for displaced-squeezed thermal states

Quantum Physics 2019-08-07 v2 Optics

Abstract

We calculate the quantum mechanical, temporal second-order coherence function for a single-mode, degenerate parametric amplifier for a system in the Gaussian state, viz., a displaced-squeezed thermal state. The calculation involves first the dynamical generation at time tt of the Gaussian state from an initial thermal state and subsequent measurements of two photons a time τ0\tau \geq 0 apart. The generation of the Gaussian state by the parametric amplifier ensures that the temporal second-order coherence function depends only on τ\tau, via τ/t\tau/t, for given Gaussian state parameters, Gaussian state preparation time tt, and average number nˉ\bar{n} of thermal photons. It is interesting that the time evolution for displaced thermal states shows a power decay in τ/t\tau/t rather than an exponential one as is the case for general, displaced-squeezed thermal states.
