Abstract
According to the higher-order squeezing defined by Zhang et al., the properties of higher- order squeezing of the orthonormalized eigenstates of the higher powers ak (k>= 3) of the annihilation operator a are studied. Our results show that all of them are minimum uncertainty states of the operators Z1(N) and Z2(N) (N equals mk, m equals 1, 2, ...) for even and odd k, and all of them have the Nth-order squeezing [N equals (m + 1/2)k, m equals 0, 1, 2, ...] for even k.
