Nieto, M M

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 (3) 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, the author proposes a method for obtaining generalized minimum-uncertainty squeezed states, gives examples, and relates it to known concepts. He comments on the remaining concept, that of general displacement-operator squeezed states.
