Summary: |
In this paper we present a new quantum state of light, obtained from an asymmetric superposition of coherent states in circular stationary mode. The generation of this state was proposed and the experimental apparatus required is presented. General expressions describing various properties (statistical distribution, variances, atomic inversion, etc..) Were obtained for arbitrary generations. We observed how they behave their properties by varying the phase between the components of superpo- sition states. We show that the statistical properties do not fully characterize the resulting state, showing different states with the same statistics. Alternative ways to distinguish these states were considered. Based on quantum interference in phase space, we show how we can generate an approximation of the number state N2 thru a process called "quantum sculpture,"and check the influence of the stage in this process. Finally, we measured the classicalidade not analyze this state and its representation in phase space. |
