Uncertainty relations in quantum optics. Is the photon intelligent?

Quantum Physics 2016-08-24 v1

Abstract

The Robertson -- Schr\"{o}dinger, Heisenberg -- Robertson and Trifonov uncertainty relations for arbitrary two functions f1f_{1} and f2f_{2} depending on the quantum phase and the number of photons respectively, are given. Intelligent states and states which minimize locally the product of uncertainties (Δf1)2(Δf2)2(\Delta f_{1})^{2}\cdot (\Delta f_{2})^{2} or the sum (Δf1)2+(Δf2)2(\Delta f_{1})^{2}+(\Delta f_{2})^{2} are investigated for the cases f1=ϕ,exp(iϕ),exp(iϕ),cosϕ,sinϕf_{1}=\phi,\exp{(i\phi)}, \exp{(-i\phi)}, \cos{\phi}, \sin{\phi} and f2=nf_{2}=n.
