On the squeezed number states and their phase space representations

We compute the photon-number distribution, the Q (α) distribution function and the wavefunctions in the momentum and position representation for a single mode squeezed number state using generating functions which allow one to obtain any matrix element in the squeezed number state representation from the matrix elements in the squeezed coherent state representation. For highly squeezed number states we discuss the previously unnoted oscillations which appear in the Q (α) function. We also note that these oscillations can be related to the photon-number distribution oscillations and to the momentum representation of the wavefunction.
