Nonclassicality of quantum excitation of classical coherent fields in thermal environments

preprint2007arXivOpen access

Abstract

The nonclassicality of photon-added coherent fields in the thermal channel is investigated by exploring the volume of the negative part of the Wigner function which reduces with the dissipative time. The Wigner functions become positive when the decay time exceeds a threshold value. For the case of the single photon-added coherent state, we derive the exact threshold values of decay time in the thermal channel. For arbitrary partial negative Wigner distribution function, a generic analytical relation between the mean photon number of heat bath and the threshold value of decay time is presented. Finally, the possible application of SPACSs in quantum computation has been briefly discussed. OCIS codes: 270.0270, 270.2500, 000.5490
