This lecture covers the generation of squeezed light, including amplitude- and phase-squeezed states, Heisenberg uncertainty relation, and Hamilton operators. It explains the quantum uncertainties of a monochromatic wave and the Wigner function of a squeezed state. The setup for generating squeezed light is detailed, from simplified setups to resonator-enhanced setups. The lecture also delves into the quantization of the field and photon number statistics of squeezed states, emphasizing the improved signal-to-noise ratio for phase and amplitude measurements.
