| contents | Squeezing of optical fields, used as a powerful resource for many applications, and the radiation properties in the process of high harmonic generation have thus far been considered separately. In this Letter, we want to clarify that the joint quantum state of all the optical field modes in the process of high harmonic generation is in general entangled and squeezed. We show that this is already the case in the simplest scenario of driving uncorrelated atoms by a classical laser light field. The previous observation of product coherent states after the high harmonic generation process is a consequence of the assumption that the ground state depletion can be neglected, which is related to vanishing dipole moment correlations. Furthermore, we analyze how the resulting quadrature squeezing in the fundamental laser mode after the interaction can be controlled and explicitly show that all field modes are entangled. |
