A NON-GAUSSIAN SINGLE-MODE SQUEEZED STATE OF THE SIMPLE HARMONIC-OSCILLATOR

Sumario:A unitary operator UR, which generates a single-mode squeezed state of the simple harmonic oscillator from the vacuum, is discussed. The states generated by UR are of the form ψ0(α) ∼ Σ αn|n〉. ψ0(α) are not minimum-uncertainty states but have a small value for the uncertainty product even for large values of the mean number of quanta n; for example, var(q) var(p)∼0.74 for n̄ = 106. © 1988 IOP Publishing Ltd.
