Displaced and squeezed number states

Abstract: After beginning with a short historical review of the concept of displaced (coherent) and squeezed states, we discuss previous (often forgotten) work on displaced and squeezed number states. Next, we obtain the most general displaced and squeezed number states. We do this in both the functional and operator (Fock) formalisms, thereby demonstrating the necessary equivalence. We then obtain the time-dependent expectation values, uncertainties, wave-functions, and probability densities. In conclusion, there is a … Show more

“…(12) in the transformed system, we easily obtain the corresponding wave functions in the number state and confirm that their initial values are given byThese are the same as those of the simple harmonic oscillator with the angular frequency . The action of a squeezing operator in the initial number state giveswhere Further action of and , in turn, yields [7, 33]where Let us consider superposition states composed of the two DSNSs in the transformed system, which iswhere is given by and is a normalization constant of which the formula will be derived later. The superposition states in the original system are obtained by acting in these states:A rigorous evaluation using Eq.…”
