Abstract

A new kind of non-Gaussian quantum state is constructed by operating the superposed operator (SO) (cos θaa† + sin θa†a) on a squeezed vacuum state (SVS) S(r)|0〉. It is found that the SOSVS is just a superposition state between S(r)|0〉 and S(r)|2〉 with only even numbers of photons. The nonclassicality is investigated by exploring the negativity of Wigner function (WF) and the sub-Poissonian distribution of Mandel's Q-parameter. The non-Guassianity is exhibited via the fidelity between the SOSVS and the SVS and the marginal distribution of its Wigner function. It is found that such SO on the SVS can enhance the nonclassicality and change the non-Gaussianity of the SOSVS. This provides the possibility of generating quantum states with specific nonclassical and non-Gaussian properties.
