Squeezing induced transition of long-time decay rate

TL;DR

This paper studies how the long-term decay of nonclassical optical states' entanglement potential depends on initial squeezing properties, revealing a transition in decay rates in photon-loss channels.

Contribution

It demonstrates a squeezing-induced transition in the long-time decay rate of entanglement potential in nonclassical states under photon loss, highlighting the measure-dependent nature of this transition.

Findings

Transition in decay rate depends on initial squeezing in photon-loss channels.

Transition occurs at the boundary between squeezing and non-squeezing states with log-negativity.

Transition behavior is absent when using concurrence as the entanglement measure.

Abstract

We investigate the nonclassicality of several kinds of nonclassical optical fields such as the pure or mixed single photon-added coherent states and the cat states in the photon-loss or the dephasing channels by exploring the entanglement potential as the measure. It is shown that the long-time decay of entanglement potentials of these states in photon loss channel is dependent of their initial quadrature squeezing properties. In the case of photon-loss, transition of long-time decay rate emerges at the boundary between the squeezing and non-squeezing initial non-gaussian states if log-negativity is adopted as the measure of entanglement potential. However, the transition behavior disappears if the concurrence is adopted as the measure of entanglement potential. For the case of the dephasing, distinct decay behaviors of the nonclassicality are also revealed.
