Description

We propose a new photon field in quantum field theory, named Laguerre-polynomial-weighted chaotic field. This field will emerge when an initial photon-added chaotic field, which is represented by its density operator (1/s!)(1 - eλ)s+1a†seλa†aas, dissipates in an amplitude damping channel described by time evolution equation dρ(t)/dt = κ(2aρa - aaρ - ρaa), where κ is a damping coefficient, that is, the initial field will evolve into (1/T){[(1 - eλ)T]/(1 - Teλ)}s+1 : Ls{(aae-2κt)/[Teλ - 1)T]}exp[(eλ - 1)/(1 - Teλ)aa] : with T = 1 - e-2κt, where Ls is the s-order Laguerre-polynomial, and : : denotes normal ordering. We employ the method of summation within an ordered product of operators to obtain our result. (author)
