Abstract. We analyze the relationship between the covering of the Jacobi group and the squeezed states. We attach some nonclassical states to the Jacobi group. The matrix elements of the Jacobi group are presented. 1.
Infinitesimal holomorphic realizations for the Schrödinger-Weil representation and the discrete series representations of the Jacobi group are constructed. Explicit expressions of the basic differential operators are obtained. The squeezed states for the unitary irreducible representation of the Jacobi group are introduced. Matrix elements of the squeezed operators, expectation values of polynomial operators in infinitesimal generators of the Jacobi group, the squeezing region and a description of Mandel's parameter are presented.
Both the coherent states and also the squeezed states of the harmonic oscillator have long been understood from the three classical points of view: the 1) displacement operator, 2) annihilation- (or ladder-) operator, and minimum-uncertainty methods. For general systems, there is the same understanding except for ladder-operator and displacement-operator squeezed states. After reviewing the known concepts, I propose a method for obtaining generalized minimum-uncertainty squeezed states, give examples, and relate it to known concepts. I comment on the remaining concept, that of general displacement-operator squeezed states.
