Phase-preserving linear amplifiers not simulable by the parametric amplifier
arXiv:1903.09370 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.125.163603
Abstract
It is commonly accepted that a parametric amplifier can simulate a phase-preserving linear amplifier regardless of how the latter is realized [Caves et al., Phys. Rev. A 86, 063802 (2012)]. If true, this reduces all phase-preserving linear amplifiers to a single familiar model. Here we disprove this claim by constructing two counterexamples. A detailed discussion of the physics of our counterexamples is provided. It is shown that a Heisenberg-picture analysis facilitates a microscopic explanation of the physics. This also resolves a question about the nature of amplifier-added noise in degenerate two-photon amplification.
