Rydberg Wave Packets are Squeezed States
arXiv:hep-ph/9310343 · doi:10.1088/0954-8998/6/1/002
Abstract
We point out that Rydberg wave packets (and similar ``coherent" molecular packets) are, in general, squeezed states, rather than the more elementary coherent states. This observation allows a more intuitive understanding of their properties; e.g., their revivals.
