Photon-subtracted squeezed thermal state: nonclassicality and decoherence

Abstract

{\small We investigate nonclassical properties of the field states generated by subtracting any number photon from the squeezed thermal state (STS). It is found that the normalization factor of photon-subtracted STS (PSSTS) is a Legendre polynomial of squeezing parameter }$r${\small \ and average photon number }$\bar{n}$ {\small of thermal state. Expressions of several quasi-probability distributions of PSSTS are derived analytically. Furthermore, the nonclassicality is discussed in terms of the negativity of Wigner function (WF). It is shown that the WF of single PSSTS always has negative values if }$\bar{n}<{\sinh }^{2}r${\small \ at the phase space center. The decoherence effect on PSSTS is then included by analytically deriving the time evolution of WF. The results show that the WF of single PSSTS has negative value if }$2\kappa t<\ln \{1-(2\bar{n}+1)(\bar{n}-{\sinh }^2${\small }$[(2\mathfrak{N}+1)(\bar{n}\cosh 2r+{\sinh }^{2}r)]\}${\small, which is dependent not only on average number }$\mathfrak{N}${\small \ of environment, but also on }$\bar{n}$ {\small and }$r${\small . }
