Squeezed coherent states- amplitude and phase

[climbon]

I'm brushing up on squeezed coherent state and have seen them defined in terms of position and momentum squeezing and in terms of amplitude and phase squeezing...is there a relation between the two? Am i missing something obvious :p ?

yes they are related...Check out Wikipedia "Squeezed coherent state" and "coherent state"...some nice illustrations...
