Photon statistics of two-mode squeezed states and interference in four-dimensional phase space

We derive the joint photon-number distribution for two-mode squeezed states with coherent amplitudes. For certain ranges of the parameters, the joint distribution exhibits nonclassical oscillations, which are the two-mode analog of the oscillations found in the single-mode case. These nonclassical oscillations are absent from the marginal distributions for each mode. The nonclassical features of the joint distribution may be explained using the interference--in--phase-space concept in four-dimensional phase space.
