A. Wigner representation of a squeezed state
B. Wigner representation of a coherent state
C. Wigner representation of an "anti-squeezed" state


In coordinate space the distribution proceeds from narrow to broad to narrow, twice per period.


The width of the distribution is constant both in coordinate and momentum space.
