Sum squeezing, entanglement and quantum teleportation of the superposition of photon-added pair coherent state

Abstract

In this paper, we study some non-classical properties of the superposition of photon-added pair coherent state (SPAPCS) such as two-mode sum squeezing and entanglement. The obtained results show that this state has two-mode sum squeezing behavior but the pair coherent state does not. The degree of squeezing of the SPAPCS is enhanced as more and more photons are added to the two modes of the original pair coherent state. Besides, this state is an entangled state and the entanglement degree can be enhanced by adding photons to both modes of the state. When using the SPAPCS as an entangled resource for a coherent state quantum teleportation, it is shown that the quantum teleportation process is successful and the average fidelity of the process can be higher than that of the case where the original pair coherent state is used if the parameters are selected appropriately.
