Maximum simultaneous squeezing and antibunching in the superposition states, |ψ〉=Z1|α〉+Z2|β〉, of two coherent states |α〉 and |β〉, where Z1,Z2,α,β are complex numbers, is studied for the case |α+β|⪢|α−β|. We show that the maximum squeezing for the operator...

We study squeezing in the most general case of superposition of two coherent states by considering 〈ψ|(ΔXθ)2|ψ〉 where Xθ=X1cosθ+X2sinθ,X1+iX2=a is annihilation operator, θ is real, |ψ〉=Z1|α〉+Z2|β〉, |α〉 and |β〉 are coherent states and Z1,Z2,α,β are complex numbers. We...

Firms measure the importance of an attribute’s performance in determining overall satisfaction to allocate resources to optimize profitability. However, most firms assume that an attribute’s importance in determining overall satisfaction is temporally invariant. We report results from two...
