On the derivation of exact eigenstates of the generalized squeezing operator

Abstract

We construct the states that are invariant under the action of the generalized squeezing operator exp(zakzak)\exp{(z{a^{\dagger k}}-z^*a^k)} for arbitrary positive integer kk. The states are given explicitly in the number representation. We find that for a given value of kk there are kk such states. We show that the states behave as nk/4n^{-k/4} when occupation number nn\to\infty. This implies that for any k3k\geq3 the states are normalizable. For a given kk, the expectation values of operators of the form (aa)j(a^{\dagger} a)^j are finite for positive integer j<(k/21)j < (k/2-1) but diverge for integer j(k/21)j\geq (k/2-1). For k=3k=3 we also give an explicit form of these states in the momentum representation in terms of Bessel functions.
