Abstract

The concept of a photon added two-mode Schrödinger cat state in which both modes are independent is introduced, and their nonclassical properties and entanglement are studied. The introduced states emerge as eigenstates of f 1 f 2 a 1 a 2 , where f 1 , f 2 are nonlinear functions of the number operator, and a 1 , a 2 are annihilation operators. We study the evolution of these states under canonical transformation using the parity operator for the case of standard coherent states of the harmonic oscillator. The nonclassical properties of these states are evaluated especially by considering sub-Poissonian photon statistics and photon number distribution. Interestingly, the addition of photons leads to shifting the region in which photon number distribution shows oscillatory behavior. In addition, the entanglement of introduced states is quantitatively analyzed using concurrence. We observe that the state approaches maximum entanglement more rapidly after the addition of photons.
