Superposition of Entangled Coherent States: Physical Realization and Properties

详细

Continuous variable entangled states and especially entangled coherent states have attracted increasing interest in the Geld of quantum information processing. The characteristic features of the superposition of quantum states can be found in the literature. Because of these significant findings, we introduce and investigate a special superposition of multipartite entangled coherent states. We prove that the free-traveling optical field scheme can generate such a superposed state. Using a geometric measure of entanglement, we then investigate the correlation behavior of the superposed state.
