“…[5]) find applications in the fields of quantum communication [6] and gravitational wave detection [7,8]. A variety of squeezed states has been proposed for other bosons, in particular, those associated with atomic vibrations in quantum dots [9,10], quantum wells [11,12], molecules [13,14], and polaritons [15,16]. In crystals, the excitation and measurement of squeezed phonons can be of great importance for fundamental explorations and for studying the ultrafast dynamics of excited states on atomic length scales [17,18].…”
