Optimal estimation of squeezing

Abstract

We present the optimal estimation of an unknown squeezing transformation of the radiation field. The optimal estimation is unbiased and is obtained by properly considering the degeneracy of the squeezing operator. For coherent input states, the r.m.s. of the estimation scales as $(2\sqrt{\bar{n}}{)}^{-1}$ versus the average photon number $\bar{n}$, while it can be enhanced to $(2\bar{n}{)}^{-1}$ by using displaced squeezed states.
