On the $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$-symmetric parametric amplifier

Abstract

Parametric amplifiers are an integral part of measurements involving the conversion of propagating quantum information to mechanical motion. General time-dependent PT-symmetric parametric oscillators for unbroken parity and time reversal (PT) symmetry regimes are studied theoretically. By constructing an explicit metric operator, we have transformed the non-Hermitian PT-symmetric system to an equivalent Hermitian Hamiltonian, which enables us to utilize the available mechanism of ${\mathbb{L}}^2$ space. The time-dependent (TD) Schrödinger equation for the system is solved with the Lewis-Riesenfeld (LR) phase space method. The eigenstates of the LR-invariant operator ($\hat{\mathcal{I}}$) is obtained after transforming $\hat{\mathcal{I}}$ to its diagonal symplectic equivalent form (group $Sp(2,\mathbb{R})$). Both the dynamical and geometrical phase factors associated with the eigenstates of $\hat{\mathcal{I}}$ are explicitly written. The experimental pheasibility of our result is outlined through the construction of Wigner quasiprobability distribution. Moreover, we have demostrated the time variation of the Wigner distribution for the system consisting of two spatially separated prepared ground state of the TD-parametric amplifier. With graphical illustration of time variation of Wigner distributions, we show that the phase-space entanglement remains intact even for time-dependent situation, no matter how far the particles goes, at least for the cat-state under consideration. The exact expressions for the physically relevant qualities are obtained and illustrated for a toy model.
