Phase and homodyne statistics of generalized squeezed states
Samuel L. Braunstein, Carlton M. Caves
We study the statistics of direct, heterodyne, and homodyne detection for some generalized squeezed states. The heterodyne statistics yield ``classical'' phase statistics, which give a clear picture of the phase-sensitive noise of these generalized squeezed states. The homodyne statistics display quantum-mechanical interference effects that are not present for ordinary squeezed states.
