[edit] Wrong definition?

I believe that a squeezed state refers to any state where the uncertainty in one quadrature of two non-commuting operators is less than the standard quantum limit. I.e., if [A,B] = C then \Delta A \Delta B \ge C/2. In that case, the standard quantum limit is SQL = \sqrt{C/2}. If the uncertainty in A is less than the standard quantum limit, then we say that the state is squeezed with respect to A. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.7.65.235 (talk) 02:28, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
