SUMMARY

A squeezed state maintains its squeezed characteristics throughout its evolution, similar to how a coherent state remains coherent under Hamiltonian evolution. The discussion confirms that a coherent state retains its form when subjected to Hamiltonians that are quadratic in position and momentum. However, the introduction of non-quadratic terms in the Hamiltonian disrupts the coherent nature of the state. This principle is asserted to apply equally to squeezed states, affirming their stability under specific Hamiltonian conditions.

PREREQUISITES

we well know that, a coherent state keeps to be a coherent state in its evolution

does similar conclusion hold for a squeezed state?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
the answer is YES!

i have make out of it
 
Doesn't a coherent state stays coherent under the evolution of a Hamiltonian that is at most quadratic in Position and momentum. If I am thinking correctly, if a non-quadratic appears in the Hamiltonian the coherent form of the state is no longer valid under time evolution.

I am pretty sure the same thing is true for squeezed states as well.
