Hypergeometric States and Their Nonclassical Properties

Abstract

`Hypergeometric states', which are a one-parameter generalization of binomial states of the single-mode quantized radiation field, are introduced and their nonclassical properties are investigated. Their limits to the binomial states and to the coherent and number states are studied. The ladder operator formulation of the hypergeometric states is found and the algebra involved turns out to be a one-parameter deformation of $su(2)$ algebra. These states exhibit highly nonclassical properties, like sub-Poissonian character, antibunching and squeezing effects. The quasiprobability distributions in phase space, namely the $Q$ and the Wigner functions are studied in detail. These remarkable properties seem to suggest that the hypergeometric states deserve further attention from theoretical and applicational sides of quantum optics.
