A generalized two-mode entangled state: Its generation, properties, and applications

Abstract

Using the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators we construct a generalized two-mode entangled state, which can be generated by an asymmetrical beam splitter (BS). Some important properties of this state, such as orthogonality and Schmidt decomposition, are also discussed by deriving the expression of BS operator in coordinate representation. As its applications, to conjugate state, obtain operator identities, generate new squeezing operators (squeezed state) are also presented. It is shown that the fidelity of quantum teleportation can be enhanced under certain case by using the asymmetrical new squeezed state as entangled resource.
