The main challenge in the recent demonstration of conventional magnon blockade is to increase the nonlinearity of the system especially in comparison with the dissipation channels. One can consider the Kerr nonlinearity through which magnon blockade in a cavity magnonic system is possible provided that the Kerr nonlinearity is much stronger than the cavity and magnonic mode dissipation rates. In the present contribution, we consider a PT-symmetric cavity magnonic system and study the effect of PT-symmetric phase on the magnon statistics and hence magnon blockade. We show that the PT-symmetric phase, which is achievable by properly selecting the system parameters, can relax the requirement of large Kerr nonlinearity such that a perfect magnon blockade can be easily obtained even under a small value of Kerr nonlinearity. Surprisingly, although there is no photonic Kerr nonlinearity in the scheme, photon blockade can also occur simultaneously with magnon blockade. This result is arising from the PT-symmetric phase which can generate an effective photonic Kerr nonlinearity.

Based on optical medium analogy, we establish a formalism to describe the interaction between an electromagnetic (EM) system with gravitational waves (GWs) background. After a full discussion on the classical treatment of the EM-GW interaction and finding the EM field mode-functions in the presence of the magneto-dielectric media caused by GWs, the governing quantum interaction Hamiltonian is obtained. Investigation of the optical quadrature variance as well as the visibility of a laser field interacting with the multi-mode squeezed primordial gravitational waves imply that the inflationary primordial gravitational waves (PGWs) act as a decoherence mechanism that destroy EM coherency after a characteristic time scale, $\tau_{c}$, which depends on the inflationary parameters $(\beta,\beta_s,r)$, or equivalently, the fractional energy density of PGWs, $\Omega_{gw,0}$. The decoherency mechanism overcomes the coherent effects, such as revivals of optical squeezing, thus leaving their confirmation out of reach. Influenced by the continuum of the squeezed PGWs, the laser field suffers a line-width broadening by $\gamma= \tau_{\text{c}}^{-1}$. The most peculiar property of the EM spectrum is the apparition of side bands at $\omega\sim \omega_0\pm 1.39 \tau_c^{-1}$Hz, stemming from the squeezed nature of PGWs. The laser phase noise induced by the squeezed PGWs grows with time squarely, $\Delta\phi=(t/\tau_c)^2$, that can most possibly be sensed within a finite flight time., Comment: 14 pages, 4 figures

In this paper, we study the interaction between a $\Lambda$-type three-level atom and two quantized electromagnetic fields which are simultaneously injected in a bichromatic cavity surrounded by a Kerr medium in the presence of the field-field interaction (parametric down conversion) and detuning parameters. By applying a canonical transformation, the introduced model is reduced to a well-known form of the generalized Jaynes-Cummings model. Under particular initial conditions which may be prepared for the atom and the field, the time evolution of state vector of the entire system is analytically evaluated. Then, the dynamics of atom is studied through the evolution of the atomic population inversion. In addition, two different measures of entanglement between the tripartite system (three entities make the system: two field modes and one atom) i.e., von Neumann and linear entropy are investigated. Also, two kinds of entropic uncertainty relations, from which entropy squeezing can be obtained, are discussed. In each case, the influences of the detuning parameters and Kerr medium on the above nonclassicality features are analyzed via numerical results, in detail. It is illustrated that the amount of the above-mentioned physical phenomena can be tuned by choosing the evolved parameters, appropriately., Comment: 19 pages

A particle bounded in a potential with finite range is described by using an $f$-deformed quantum oscillator approach. Finite range of this potential can be considered as a controllable deformation parameter. The non-classical quantum statistical properties of this deformed oscillator can be manipulated by nonlinearities associated to the finite range.

In this paper, we investigate, phonon effects on the optical properties of a spherical quantum dot. For this purpose, we consider the interaction of a spherical quantum dot with classical and quantum fields while the exciton of quantum dot interacts with a solid state reservoir. We show that phonons strongly affect the Rabi oscillations and optical coherence on first picoseconds of dynamics. We consider the quantum statistics of emitted photons by quantum dot and we show that these photons are anti-bunched and obey the sub-Poissonian statistics. In addition, we examine the effects of detuning and interaction of quantum dot with the cavity mode on optical coherence of energy levels. The effects of detuning and interaction of quantum dot with cavity mode on optical coherence of energy levels are compared to the effects of its interaction with classical pulse.

This paper presents a method to describe dynamics of an ion confined in a realistic finite range trap. We model this realistic potential with a solvable one and we obtain dynamical variables (raising and lowering operators) of this potential. We consider coherent interaction of this confined ion in a finite range trap and we show that its center-of-mass motion steady state is a special kind of nonlinear coherent states. Physical properties of this state and their dependence on the finite range of potential are studied.

We consider excitons in a quantum dot as q-deformed systems. Interaction of some excitonic systems with one cavity mode is considered. Dynamics of the system is obtained by diagonalizing total Hamiltonian and emission spectrum of quantum dot is derived. Physical consequences of q-deformed exciton on emission spectrum of quantum dot is given. It is shown that when the exciton system deviates from Bose statistics, emission spectra will become multi peak. With our investigation we try to find the origin of the q-deformation of exciton. The optical response of excitons, which affected by the nonlinear nature of q-deformed systems, up to the second order of approximation is calculated and absorption spectra of the system is given.

In this paper, we derive the dynamical algebra of a particle confined in an infinite spherical well by using the $f$-deformed oscillator approach. We consider an exciton with definite angular momentum in a wide quantum dot interacting with two laser beams. We show that under the weak confinement condition, and quantization of the center-of-mass motion of exciton, the stationary state of it can be considered as a special kind of nonlinear coherent states which exhibits the quadrature squeezing.

In this paper we study some basic quantum confinement effects through investigation of a deformed harmonic oscillator algebra. We show that spatial confinement effects on a quantum harmonic oscillator can be represented by a deformation function within the framework of nonlinear coherent states theory. We construct the coherent states associated with the spatially confined quantum harmonic oscillator in a one-dimensional infinite well and examine some of their quantum statistical properties, including sub-poissonian statistics and quadrature squeezing., Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:0710.1942

We theoretically study the polarization entanglement of photons generated by the biexciton cascade in a GaAs/InAs semiconductor quantum dot (QD), located in a nano cavity. A detailed analysis of the complex interplay between photon- and carrier coherences and phonons which occurs during the cascade allows us to clearly identify where the entanglement is generated and destroyed. A quantum state tomography is performed for varying exciton fine structure splittings. By constructing an effective multi-phonon Hamiltonian which couples the continuum of the wetting layer states to the QD we investigate the relaxation of the biexciton and exciton states. This consistently introduces a temperature dependence to the cascade. Considering typical Stranski-Karastanov grown QDs, for temperatures around 80 K the degree of entanglement starts to be affected by the dephasing of the exciton states and is ultimately lost above 120 K., Comment: 14 pages, 10 figures, 1 table, submitted to phys. rev.

We study some basic quantum confinement effects through investigation a deformed harmonic oscillator algebra. We show that spatial confinement effects on a quantum harmonic oscillator can be represented by a deformation function within the framework of nonlinear coherent states theory. Using the deformed algebra, we construct a quantum field theory in confined space. In particular, we find that the confinement influences on some physical properties of the electromagnetic field and it gives rise to nonlinear interaction. Furthermore, we propose a physical scheme to generate the nonlinear coherent states associated with the electromagnetic field in a confined region.
