Abstract
The multiphoton squeezed states defined in this paper are generalizations of the conventional coherent (Glauber) and squeezed (Yuen) states previously discussed by many authors. We define multiphoton generalizations of the latter by a unified class of states that includes the Holstein–Primakoff realizations of SU(2) and SU(1, 1) as well as the standard harmonic oscillator coherent states (Weyl–Heisenberg group) and squeezed states in a general framework that allows also non-Hermitian realizations. We determine the squeezing properties of these states in a unified formalism and study numerically their dependence on the parameter classifying the states.
