Abstract

I first review a) the flowering of coherent states in the 1960's, yet b) the discovery of coherent states in 1926, and c) the flowering of squeezed states in the 1970's and 1980's. Then, with the background of the excitement over the then new quantum mechanics, I describe d) the discovery of squeezed states in 1927.
