Length contraction and squeezed states (split from Create visible light...)

The equation for length contraction is: L=L01−v2/c2−−−−−−−−√ where L0 is the original length, v is the relative velocity and c is the speed of light.

Note that you will see the passing object get shorter. But a passenger on that moving object will see you get shorter.

Is there a relationship between the length contraction and a squeezed coherent state?

No, it is purely due to the invariant speed of light.
