Abstract
Squeezed states of harmonic oscillators are a central resource for continuous-variable quantum sensing, computation, and communication. Here, we propose a method for the generation of very good approximations to highly squeezed vacuum states with low excess antisqueezing using only a few oscillator-qubit coupling gates through a Rabi-type interaction Hamiltonian. This interaction can be implemented with several different methods, which has previously been demonstrated in superconducting circuit and trapped-ion platforms. The protocol is compatible with other protocols manipulating quantum harmonic oscillators, thus facilitating scalable continuous-variable fault-tolerant quantum computation.
