Quantum Optics
A squeezed state is a quantum state where the uncertainty in one observable (such as position or momentum) is reduced at the expense of increased uncertainty in the conjugate observable, resulting in a 'squeezing' of the wavefunction. This phenomenon highlights the impact of vacuum fluctuations and zero-point energy, as squeezed states can be generated by manipulating these fluctuations to enhance precision in measurements.
congrats on reading the definition of squeezed state. now let's actually learn it.
