    "abstract": "Squeezed number states for a single mode Hamiltonian are investigated from\ntwo complementary points of view. Firstly the more relevant features of their\nphoton distribution are discussed using the WKB wave functions. In particular\nthe oscillations of the distribution and the parity behavior are derived and\ncompared with the exact results. The accuracy is verified and it is shown that\nfor high photon number it fails to reproduce the true distribution. This is\ncontrasted with the fact that for moderate squeezing the WKB approximation\ngives the analytical justification to the interpretation of the oscillations as\nthe result of the interference of areas with definite phases in phase space. It\nis shown with a computation at high squeezing using a modified prescription for\nthe phase space representation which is based on Wigner-Cohen distributions\nthat the failure of the WKB approximation does not invalidate the area overlap\npicture.",
