Abstract
Quantum fluids of light are an emerging tool employed in quantum many-body physics. Their amazing properties and versatility allow using them in a wide variety of fields including gravitation, quantum information and simulation. However the implications of the quantum nature of light in the nonlinear optical propagation are still missing many features. We theoretically predict classical spontaneous squeezing of a photon fluid in a nonlocal nonlinear medium. By using the so called Gamow vectors, we show that the quadratures of a coherent state get squeezed and that a maximal squeezing power exists. Our analysis holds true for temporal and spatial optical propagation in highly nonlocal regime. These results open a new scenario in quantum photon fluids and may lead to novel applications in fields like metrology and analogues of quantum gravity.
