Wavelet Transform of Even- and Odd-Coherent States

Abstract

By employing the technique of integral within an ordered product (IWOP) of operators we recast classical wavelet transform to a matrix element of the squeezing-displacing operator U(μ,s) between the mother wavelet vector 〈ψ| and the state vector |f〉 to be transformed, i.e., we propose that 〈ψ|U(μ,s)|f〉 can be considered as a new kind of spectrum for analyzing the quantum state |f〉. In this way we do numerical calculation of wavelet-transform spectrum for the even- and odd-coherent states and then plot their figures, respectively. Thus this kind of spectrum can be used to recognize a variety of quantum optical states.
