Abstract

ABSTRACTWe introduce a new entangled state, which is composed of two photon-added coherent states. We discuss the entanglement of this state by using several sufficient entanglement criteria, such as higher-order entanglement criterion, EPR criterion, SU(1,1) algebra and Cauchy–Schwarz inequality. These criteria reflect some entanglement effects of this new state, but fail to find the degree of entanglement directly. Thus, we use the covariance to measure the entanglement in this state. Our findings show that the degree of entanglement decreases with the increasing of photon-number and the amplitude of the coherent states. One interesting result is that the new entangled state becomes a maximally entangled state when the photon-added number is 1 and the amplitude of the coherent states is zero, which is just one of the four Bell states.
