Multimode squeeze operators and squeezed states
Xin Ma, William C. Rhodes · Physical Review A · 1990
Multimode squeeze and rotation operators are defined such that they have extremely similar algebraic properties as those of their single-mode counterparts. It is shown that the introduction of N-mode squeeze operators provides a convenient set of parameters to describe the variances of the quadrature amplitudes in multimode Gaussian squeezed states. Some important properties of these N-mode unitary operators are investigated. It is also shown that the time-evolution operator for a general N-mode quadratic Hamiltonian can be conveniently expressed as an operator product containing an N-mode squeeze operator, an N-mode rotation operator, and an N-mode displacement operator.
