Abstract

A quantum-mechanical harmonic oscillator undergoes continuous amplitude fluctuation even in its ground state. This fluctuation, also known as the vacuum fluctuation, arises from the nonvanishing commutation .elation, [${\alpha}$, ${\alpha}$$\^$+/] = 1, where ${\alpha}$(${\alpha}$$\^$+/) is the annihilation (creation) operate. of the harmonic oscillator, One can make, however, the fluctuation of one quadrature amplitude decrease below the vacuum-state (or the coherent state) level at the cost of that of the other quadrature.
