Higher-order non-classicalities in two-mode charge cat states of the Arik–Coon and Biedenharn–Macfarlane <i>q</i>-oscillators

The optical charge pair coherent states for a two-mode electromagnetic field corresponding to [Formula: see text]- and [Formula: see text]-deformed oscillator algebras that are both of the Arik–Coon or Biedenharn–Macfarlane type are constructed. Next, their associated even and odd cat states are formulated in terms of the charge, deformation parameters [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], and coherent field, in a linear combination form of two-mode number states of the deformed oscillators. The two-mode higher-order anti-bunching, squeezing, and entanglement traits of the even and odd charge cat states corresponding to the oscillators with the same deformation parameters are considered in terms of the charge and the coherent field as well as different values for deformation parameter itself. We compare the difference of these non-classical behaviors not only between the odd and even states of each two-mode oscillator but also between two-mode Arik–Coon and Biedenharn–Macfarlane oscillators. For example, we answer whether the entanglement of the two-mode cat states increases or decreases with the increase of the charge.
