Abstract

Nonclassical features of entangled coherent states (two-mode superposition coherent states) based on two coherent states shifted in phase by μ/2 are discussed. Analysis of Cauchy-Schwartz inequality, two-mode quadrature squeezing, oscillatory and sub-Poissonian photon statistics show that nonclassicality exists for these states. Furthermore, it is also observed that special states have remarkably strong nonclassical properties than the entangled coherent states based on famous even-odd coherent states.
