Quantum states of the electromagnetic field are of considerable importance, finding potential application in various areas of physics, as diverse as solid state physics, quantum communication and cosmology. In this paper we introduce the concept of truncated states obtained via iterative processes(TSI)andstudyitsstatisticalfeatures,makingananalogywithdynamicalsystemstheory (DST).Asaspecificexample,wehavestudiedTSIforthedoublingandthelogisticfunctions,which are standard functions in studying chaos. TSI for both the doubling and logistic functions exhibit certainsimilarpatternswhentheirstatistical featuresarecomparedfromthepointofviewofDST. A general method to engineer TSI in the running-wave domain is employed, which includes the errors dueto thenonidealities of detectors and photocounts. 7 0 PACSnumbers: 42.50.Dv,42.50.-p 0 2 n I.

For example, for some DST. We note that, unlike previousstatesstudied inthe values of µ, it is known that some of these functions can literature [16], each coefficient of the TSI is obtained behave in quite a chaotic manner [14].

STATISTICAL PROPERTIES OF TSI USING THE DOUBLING AND THE LOGISTIC FUNCTIONS A. Photon Number Distribution Since the expansion of TSI is known in the number state n , we have | i P = C 2.

Note a four-period type for the probabilities; this regular behavior coincides with nonchaotic behavior of C ,we takeC as0.3and0.29711,respectivelyshownin 0 0 thedoubling function in theDST sense. Figs. 1 and 2. Note the regular behavior for C = 0.3 0 and rather an irregular, or chaotic, behavior for C = 0 0.29711. Figs. 3 and 4 show P for the logistic func- n tion. For C = 0.2 and µ = 3.49 the logistic function 0 behavesregularly(Fig.3), showingclearly(as in the case ofthe doubling-function)four valuesforP ;by contrast, n for µ = 4 and C = 0.2, P oscillates quite irregularly 0 n (Fig.4). This is so because the photon number distri- bution is equivalent to the orbit of the TSI dynamics [14]. Thus, once a fixed - attracting or periodic - point is attained, the subsequent coefficients, and hence the subsequent P , will behave in a regular manner. Con- n versely, when no fixed point exists, P will oscillate in n a chaotic manner. Therefore, by choosing suitable C 0 and/or µ, we can compare the properties of TSI when differentregimes(chaoticversus nonchaotic)in the DST sense are encountered. Note the similarity between the propertiesofthelogisticandthedoublingfunctionswhen the DST regimes are the same. Interestingly, these simi- larities are observedwhen other properties areanalyzed, as we shall see in the following. FIG.2: Photonnumberdistributionforthedoublingfunction with C0 = 0.29711.

From Figs. 6 and 8 (corresponding to a chaotic odd assumes negative values, prohibited in the usual proba- regime in DST), TSI can behave as a nonclassical state, bility distribution function, and the quantum state has depending on N. More interestingly, note the following no classical analog. Since P +P = 1, the same is pattern: whenever the coefficients of TSI correspond to odd even true whenP <0.5.
