Abstract
We study the temporal evolution of a coherent state under the action of a parametric oscillator and a nonlinear Kerr-like medium. We make use of the interaction-picture representation and use an exact time-evolution operator for the time-independent part of the Hamiltonian. We approximate the interaction-picture Hamiltonian in such a way as to make it a member of a Lie algebra. The corresponding time-evolution operator behaves like a squeezing operator due to the temporal dependence of the oscillator’s frequency. We analyze the probability amplitude, the auto-correlation function, and the Husimi distribution function for different Hamiltonian parameters. We find very good agreement between our approximate results and converged numerical calculations.
