Geometric phase for two-mode entangled squeezed-coherent states

Abstract

In this paper, we study the geometric phase (GP) of two-mode entangled squeezed-coherent states (ESCSs), undergoing a unitary cyclic evolution. It is revealed that by increasing the squeezing parameter of the first or the second mode of a balanced ESCS, the GP compresses in an elliptical manner along the axis of the coherence parameter of the corresponding mode. While in the case of unbalanced ESCS, the GP compresses in a hyperbolic manner by increasing the squeezing parameters of either mode. By generalizing to higher constituting-state dimensions, it is found that the GPs of both balanced and unbalanced ESCSs, increase for a specific value of the coherence parameter. Based on these findings, using the interferometry approach, we suggest a theoretical scheme for the physical generation of the balanced ESCS.
