Phase and homodyne statistics of generalized squeezed states

Samuel L. Braunstein, Carlton M. Caves · Physical Review A · 1990

We study the statistics of direct, heterodyne, and homodyne detection for some generalized squeezed states. The heterodyne statistics yield ``classical'' phase statistics, which give a clear picture of the phase-sensitive noise of these generalized squeezed states. The homodyne statistics display quantum-mechanical interference effects that are not present for ordinary squeezed states.
