TL;DR

This paper introduces the excited squeezed vacuum state (ESVS), a new non-Gaussian quantum state, and analyzes its properties and potential applications in quantum optics.

Contribution

The work defines a novel non-Gaussian quantum state, ESVS, and investigates its nonclassical properties and fidelity with related states.

Findings

ESVS exhibits distinct non-Gaussian features and nonclassical properties.

The Hilbert-Schmidt distance quantifies ESVS non-Gaussianity effectively.

Optimal fidelity between ESVS and PSSVS is achieved under specific parameters.

Abstract

In this work, we introduce a non-Gaussian quantum state named excited squeezed vacuum state (ESVS), which can be ustilized to describe quantum light field emitted from the multiphoton quantum process occurred in some restricted quantum systems. We investigate its nonclassical properties such as Wigner distribution in phase space, photon number distribution, the second-order autocorrelation and the quadrature fluctuations. By virtue of the Hilbert-Schmidt distance method, we quantify the non-Gaussianity of the ESVS. Due to the similar photon statistics, we examine the fidelity between the ESVS and the photon-subtraction squeezed vacuum state (PSSVS), and then find the optimal fidelity by monitoring the relevant parameters.
