Abstract
Abstract Using the Pegg-Barnett phase operator formalism we have introduced the coherent phase state and the displaced phase state in a finite dimension. Using the definition of phase creation and annihilation operators we have constructed a displacement operator which yields coherent phase states and displaced phase states within a finite-dimensional basis and numerically evaluated observables as a function of the size of the basis set. We have shown that, when the dimension of the state space is much larger than the average excitation of phase quanta, then these states are the coherent phase state and displaced phase state of a harmonic oscillator which has an infinite number of eigenstates and exhibits phase squeezing up to 100%. The coherent phase state is a minimum-uncertainty state with respect to the phase quadrature operators but not the minimum-uncertainty state with respect to number and phase operators. The properties of coherent phase states for a two-state system are also investigated. It is interesting to realize that these coherent phase states and displaced phase states are exactly the same as the phase vacuum state and different phase states respectively for the single-mode light field case.
