Summary

Dmitrii Kouznetsov and Daniel Rohrlich Quantum noise at the nonlinear mapping of phase space

Quadrature components of a single-mode field are interpreted as coordinates of the phase space. It is assumed that a quantum amplifier transforms the state of a single mode and the initial state of the field in this mode is a coherent squeezed one. The transfer function relating the average values of the field in the initial and final states determines mapping of the phase state. In the case of amplification, the field uncertainty in the final state is usually greater than in the initial state.

By setting the squeezing parameter and assuming that depends only on , we obtain conditions for a nonlinear phase-invariant amplifier. In this case, the output mean value of the field is , and Theorem 1 reproduces the lower estimate of the noise of such an amplifier [6] . In a still more special case, we set and obtain the lower bound [1-4] for a linear phase-invariant amplifier. Let us turn now to the dispersions and of the quadrature components. For a linear parametric amplifier, the noise in one component may be as small as desired.

A degenerate parametric amplifier with pumping depletion is considered to be an illustration. Transformation of an initially orthogonal rectangular net in the phase space and deformation of the body of uncertainty given by the Wigner function are constructed for such an amplifier.
Introduction A classical field in a certain mode can be amplified without introducing additional noise, whereas a quantum field cannot, even if prepared in a coherent state. Field amplification in a quantum mode produces quantum noise, i.e., increases the total uncertainty of quadrature field components.
