Scheme to Measure Quantum Stokes Parameters and their Fluctuations and Correlations

چکیده
We propose a scheme to measure quantum Stokes parameters, their fluctuations and correlations. The proposal involves measurements of intensities and intensity-intensity correlations for suitably defined modes, which can be produced by a combination of half wave and quarter wave plates. ∗email: [email protected] †email: [email protected]

Polarization quantum properties in a type-II optical parametric oscillator below threshold
We study the far-field spatial distribution of the quantum fluctuations in the transverse profile of the output light beam generated by a type-II optical parametric oscillator below threshold, including the effects of transverse walk-off. We study how quadrature field correlations depend on the polarization. We find spatial Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen entanglement in quadrature-polarization compone...

Quantum phases and fluctuations in correlated electron systems with frustration and competing interactions are reviewed. In the localized moment case the S=1/2 J1 - J2 - model on a square lattice exhibits a rich phase diagram with magnetic as well as exotic hidden order phases due to the interplay of frustration and quantum fluctuations. Their signature in magnetocaloric quantities and the hig...
متن کاملPolarization squeezed light formation in a nonlinear medium with electronic Kerr nonlinearity
A consistent quantum theory of polarization squeezed light formation in a inertial nonlinear medium is developed taking into account the response time of electronic Kerr nonlinearity. Stokes parameters are considered and their fluctuations spectra are investigated. It is established that the frequency at which the suppression of quantum fluctuations of Stokes parameters is the greatest can be c...
متن کاملPolarization-squeezed light formation in a medium with electronic Kerr nonlinearity
We analyze the formation of polarization-squeezed light in a medium with electronic Kerr nonlinearity. Quantum Stokes parameters are considered and the spectra of their quantum fluctuations are investigated. It is established that the frequency at which the suppression of quantum fluctuations is the greatest can be controlled by adjusting the linear phase difference between pulses. We shown tha...
متن کاملWitnessing Entanglement with Second-Order Interference and Stokes Parameters
We propose to use Stokes parameter as an entanglement witness for correlated EPR mixed states of light. Such states can be generated with a beam splitter acting on two mixed squeezed states of light. Stokes witness operators are closely related to the Hanbury-Brown and Twiss interference and can be used to test entanglement in balanced homodyne experiments involving fluctuations of quantum quad...
