Cheng Da, Qian-Fan Chen, Hong-Yi Fan
Abstract
We consider the quantum mechanical SU(2) transformation e 2λ J z J ± e −2λ J z = e ±2λ J ± as if the meaning of squeezing with e ±2λ being squeezing parameter. By studying SU(2) operators ( J ± , J z ) from the point of view of squeezing we find that ( J ± , J z ) can also be realized in terms of 3-mode bosonic operators. Employing this realization, we find the natural representation (the eigenvectors of J + or J − ) of the 3-mode squeezing operator e 2λ J z . The idea of considering quantum SU(2) transformation as if squeezing is liable for us to obtain the new bosonic operator realization of SU(2) and new squeezing operators.
