Quantum squeezing

Authors:P. D. Drummond, Z. Ficek

Summary:The concept of squeezing is intimately related to the idea of vacuum fluctu ations, once thought to place an absolute limit to the accuracy of measure ment. Since then, the var ious techniques and applications of quantum squeezing have metamorphosed into a central tool in the wider field of quantum information.
