Abstract It is known that $\exp[{\rm i}\lambda(Q_1P_1-{\rm 2}/2)]$ is a unitary single-mode squeezing operator, where $Q_1$, $P_1$are the coordinate and momentum operators, respectively. In this paper we employ Dirac's coordinate representation to prove that the exponential operator $S_{n}\equiv \exp\bigg[{\rm i} \lambda \sum_{i=1}^{n}(Q_{i} P_{i+1}+Q_{i+1} P_{i}))\bigg]$, $(Q_{n+1}=Q_{1}, P_{n+1}=P_{1})$, is an n-mode squeezing operator which enhances the standard squeezing. By virtue of the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators we derive Sn's normally ordered expansion and obtain new n-mode squeezed vacuum states, its Wigner function is calculated by using the Weyl ordering invariance under similar transformations.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
