Abstract
The excitation of atomic and molecular wavepackets has been the subject of extensive recent experimental and theoretical investigations (see, e.g., ref. 1). Spatial localization, being the key feature of wavepacket excitations, provides means of exploring the boundary between classical mechanics and quantum theory. Localization has important practical applications in coherent control of photochemical reactions2 and femtosecond pump-probe experiments.3 Spatial squeezing is defined as localization beyond the initial (ground) state of the system.
