Abstract
We investigate the effects of postselected von Neumann measurements on the nonclassical properties of pair coherent states (PCS). We calculated key quantum characteristics, such as squeezing, photon statistics, entanglement between the two modes of PCS, and teleportation fidelity. Our results demonstrate that postselected von Neumann measurements enhance both the non-Gaussianity and nonclassicality of PCS. These findings are validated by analyzing the scaled joint Wigner function across various system parameters. We also notice that in weak measurement regimes, the teleportation fidelity via a PCS-based quantum channel under postselected von Neumann measurements could maintain successful teleportation for anomalous weak values of the measured system observable. The theoretical optimization scheme offers an alternative approach for improving PCS-based quantum information efficiency and facilitates practical implementations in quantum technologies.
