Abstract: | We study amplitude-squared squeezing of the Hermitian operator Zθ=Z1
cosθ+Z2 sin θ, in the most general superposition state
, of two coherent states
and
. Here operators Z1,2 are defined by
, a is annihilation operator, θ is angle, and
complex numbers C1,2 , α, β are arbitrary and only
restriction on these is the normalization condition of the state
. We define the condition for a state
to be amplitude-squared squeezed for the operator Zθ
if squeezing parameter
, where N=a+a and
. We find
maximum amplitude-squared squeezing of Zθ in the superposed
coherent state
with minimum value 0.3268 of the
parameter S for an infinite combinations with α- β= 2.16
exp ±i(π/4) + iθ/2],
and with
arbitrary values of (α+β) and θ. For this minimum
value of squeezing parameter S, the expectation value of photon number can
vary from the minimum value 1.0481 to infinity. Variations of the parameter
S with different variables at maximum amplitude-squared squeezing are also
discussed. |
