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.
