B. Baseia et al., BOUND, UNBOUND OPERATORS AND THE SQUEEZING EFFECT, Nuovo cimento della Societa italiana di fisica. B, Relativity, classical and statistical physics, 110(8), 1995, pp. 997-1001
In this paper we report the difference between the squeezing effect fo
r quadrature operators (describing a photon field or harmonic oscillat
or) and for spin variables (describing a two-level system), the distin
ction coming from the bound and unbound character of the operators inv
olved in the definition of squeezing for each system.
