Production and detection of highly squeezed states in cavity QED
L. G. Lutterbach, L. Davidovich · Physical Review A · 2000
We propose simple experiments in cavity quantum electrodynamics leading to the generation and detection of highly squeezed states of the electromagnetic field, even in the presence of experimental constraints like dissipation, atomic velocity spread, and detection inefficiency. Our proposal gives an operational meaning to the rotational and translational widths of a squeezed state.
