Abstract
A simple, and elegant geometrical representation is developed to describe the concept of coherence and squeezing for angular momentum operators. Angular momentum squeezed states were obtained by applying Bogoliubov transformation on the angular momentum coherent states in Schwinger representation [Phys. Rev. {\bf{A 51}} (1995)]. We present the geometrical phase space description of angular momentum coherent and squeezed states and relate with the harmonic oscillator. The unique feature of our geometric representation is the portraying of the expectation values of the angular momentum components accompanied by their uncertainties. The bosonic representation of the angular momentum coherent and squeezed states is compared with the conventional one mentioning the advantages of this representation of angular momentum in context of coherence and squeezing. Extension of our work on single mode squeezing to double mode squeezing is presented and compared with the single mode one. We also point out the possible applications of the geometrical representation in analyzing the accuracy of interferometers and in studying the behavior, dynamics of an ensemble of quantum-mechanical two-level systems and its interaction with radiation.
