Coherent and squeezed states: introductory review of basic notions, properties and generalizations

Quantum Physics 2019-07-16 v2

Abstract

A short review of the main properties of coherent and squeezed states is given in introductory form. The efforts are addressed to clarify concepts and notions, including some passages of the history of science, with the aim of facilitating the subject for nonspecialists. In this sense, the present work is intended to be complementary to other papers of the same nature and subject in current circulation.
