Holstein-primakoff/bogoliubov Transformations and the Multiboson System

As an aid to understanding the displacement operator definition of squeezed states for arbitrary systems, we investigate the properties of systems where there is a Holstein-Primakoff or Bogoliubov transformation. In these cases the ladder-operator or minimum-uncertainty definitions of squeezed states are equivalent to an extent displacement-operator definition. We exemplify this in a setting where there are operators satisfying [A,A] = 1, but the A’s are not necessarily the Fock space a’s; the multiboson system. It has been previously observed that the ground state of a system often can be shown to to be a coherent state. We demonstrate why this must be so. We close with a discussion of an alternative, effective definition of displacement-operator squeezed states. Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected]
