The auxiliary field method is a powerful technique to obtain approximate closed-form energy formulas for eigenequations in quantum mechanics. Very good results can be obtained for Schr\"odinger and semirelativistic Hamiltonians with various…
We introduce a novel class of coherent states, termed $\mathcal{W}^{(\bar{\alpha},\bar{\nu})}(z)$-coherent states, constructed using a deformed boson algebra based on the generalized factorial $[n]_{\alpha,\beta,\nu}!$. This algebra extends…
The study of entangled states has greatly improved the basic understanding about two-photon interferometry. Two-photon interference is not the interference of two photons but the result of superposition among indistinguishable two-photon…
We implement the squeezing operation as a genuine quantum gate, deterministically and reversibly acting `online' upon an input state no longer restricted to the set of Gaussian states. More specifically, by applying an efficient and robust…
We give a method for obtaining states of massive particle representations of the two-parameter deformation of the Poincar\'e algebra proposed in q-alg/9601010, q-alg/9505030 and q-alg/9501026. We discuss four procedures to generate…
We propose and experimentally realize a novel versatile protocol that allows the quantum state engineering of heralded optical coherent-state superpositions. This scheme relies on a two-mode squeezed state, linear mixing and a $n$-photon…
Orthogonality of two-photon polarization states belonging to a single frequency and spatial mode is demonstrated experimentally, in a generalization of the well-known anti-correlation 'dip' experiment.
We study a superposed weak coherent state that can fundamentally mimic an ideal single photon not only with respect to the number of photons but also in terms of an indeterminate phase. It is close to the single-photon state with high…
In the last years, several works have demonstrated the advantage of photon subtracted Gaussian states for various quantum optics and information protocols. In most of these works, it was not clearly investigated the relation between the…
The quantum measurement problem still finds no consensus. Nonlocal interferometry provides an unprecedented experimental probe by entangling two photons in the "measurement state" (MS). The experiments show that each photon "measures" the…
Based on the quantized electromagnetic field described by the Riemann-Silberstein complex vector $F$, we construct the eigenvector set of $% F$, which makes up an orthonormal and complete representation. In terms of $% F $ we then introduce…
