This book covers the new field of squeezing in quantum fields, encompassing all types of systems in which quantum fluctuations are reduced below those in the normal vacuum state. It presents the currently known techniques of generating squeezed photon fields, together with treatments of matter field squeezing. Both theory and experiments are covered, together with applications to communications and measurement. International experts present the field from general introductory material to the most recent developments.
