Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the behavior of radiation field, whose state is described by the so-called sphere coherent state, through a beam splitter. These states are realization of coherent states of two-dimensional harmonic oscillator, which lives on a sphere, as radiation field. By using the linear entropy as a measure of entanglement, we show that the entanglement depends on the curvature of the sphere. So, by using the appropriating sphere coherent states, we can control the entanglement of the output states of the beam splitter in the laboratory. In addition, as the convince measures of non-classical behaviors, we consider Mandel parameters of the output states of the beam splitter and their quadrature squeezing.
