3D entangled fractional squeezing transformation and its quantum mechanical correspondence

Abstract

A new type of entangled fractional squeezing transformation (EFrST) has been theoretically proposed for 2D entanglement [Front. Phys. 10, 100302 (2015)]. In this paper, we shall extend this case to that of 3D entanglement by introducing a type of three-mode entangled state representation, which is not the product of three 1D cases. Using the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators, we derive a compact unitary operator corresponding to the 3D fractional entangling transformation, which is an entangling operator that presents a clear transformation relation. We also verified that the additivity property of the novel 3D EFrST is of a Fourier character by using its quantum mechanical description. As an application of this representation, the EFrST of the three-mode number state is calculated using the quantum description of the EFrST.
