Detecting nonclassicality in randomly-displaced copies of a squeezed state

Quantum Physics 2026-05-19 v1 Optics

Abstract

We address a fundamental question: Can one determine whether a received signal is squeezed when each copy arrives with a different displacement/amplitude? We introduce an interaction Hamiltonian that converts quadrature squeezing into number squeezing. Using this conversion, we test whether the copies satisfy g(2)(0)<1g^{(2)}(0)<1. The Hamiltonian itself does not create nonclassicality; it only transfers it from quadrature squeezing to number squeezing. This allows us to identify squeezing even when individual copies have random displacements.
