Abstract

Kerr nonlinear coupler consists of two nonlinear oscillations in which one of them linearly excited by an external classical field. This is assumed to be decomposed into two parts: a coherent part and a randomly fluctuating chaotic component that is a δ-correlated, Gaussian, Markov, stationary process (white noise). We solve a set of coupled stochastic integro-differential equations involved in the problem with all initial conditions and obtain analytical formulae for the complex probability amplitudes of finite n-photon Fock states. Especially, our study shows that the system is also able to generate maximally entangled states and, as a consequence, the coupler discussed behaves as a two-qubit system and the results compared with those derived previously in the literature.
