Nonlinear optical generation of entangled squeezed states in lossy nonorthogonal quasimodes: an analytic solution

Abstract

We prove that the density operator for the nonlinearly-generated quantum state of light in the $M$ lossy nonorthogonal quasimodes of a nanocavity system has the analytic form of a multimode squeezed thermal state, where the time-dependence of the squeezing and thermal photon parameters are given by a set of $3M$ coupled differential equations. We apply our approach to a system with two highly nonorthogonal quasimodes and obtain good agreement with simulations using a basis of Fock states. Our approach provides an efficient way to model and optimize the generation of mixed Gaussian cluster states.

There is an algebra mistake in the derivation of the squeezed thermal state solution
