The general transformation of the product of coherent states $\prod_{i=1}^N|\alpha_i>$ to the output state $\prod_{i=1}^M|\beta_i>$ ($N=M$ or $N\neq M$), which is realizable with linear optical circuit, is characterized with a linear map…

We propose and study a model where, for the first time, two aspects are present: parity conservation and infinitely many absorbing states. Whereas steady-state simulations show that the static critical behaviour is not affected by the…
