Contractive States and the Standard Quantum Limit for Monitoring Free-Mass Positions
Abstract
The familiar minimum-uncertainty wave packets for masses are generalized in analogy with the two-photon coherent states of the radiation field. The free evolution of a subclass of these states, the contractive states, leads to a narrowing of the position uncertainty in contrast with the usual minimum-uncertainty wave packets. As a consequence the standard quantum limit for monitoring the positions of a free mass can be breached. Further implications on quantum nondemolition measurements are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
