Geometric phase for two-mode entangled squeezed-coherent states

In this paper, we investigate the geometric phase (GP) of two-mode entangled squeezed-coherent states (ESCSs), undergoing unitary cyclic evolution. Results show that increasing the squeezing parameter of either mode of the balanced ESCS compresses the GP elliptically with respect to the coherence parameter of the corresponding mode. While in the case of unbalanced ESCS, the GP is compressed hyperbolically by increasing the squeezing parameters of the either mode. By generalizing the approach to higher constituting-state dimensions, it is found that the GPs of both balanced and unbalanced ESCSs, increase for a specific value of the coherence parameter. By analyzing the states through the Schmidt decomposition method, we find that, locally, the balanced and unbalanced ESCSs are unitarily equivalent. Finally, based on the interferometry technique, we suggest a theoretical scheme for the physical generation of ESCSs.
