A Compact Exponential Operator for Generating Rotating and Squeezing Transformations
Fan Hong‐Yi
Abstract
We point out that the compact exponential operator (where are real; and are momentum and coordinate operators, respectively; the units of is taken, and are harmonic oscillator's mass and frequency, respectively) is a generalized single-mode squeeze operator which can generate mixed squeezing and rotating transformations. The decomposition of as a product of a squeeze operator and a rotating operator is derived through the technique of integration within an ordered product. The fluctuation in quadrature phases for the squeezed vacuum state generated by is analyzed.
