  The primary aim of the present paper is to attract the attention of particle
physicists to new developments in studying squeezed and correlated states of
the electromagnetic field as well as of those working on the latest topic to
new findings about multiplicity distributions in quantum chromodynamics. The
new types of nonclassical states used in quantum optics as squeezed states,
correlated states, even and odd coherent states (Schr\"odinger cat states) for
one--mode and multimode interaction are reviewed. Their distribution functions
are analyzed according to the method used first for multiplicity distributions
in high energy particle interactions. The phenomenon of oscillations of
particle distribution functions of the squeezed fields is described and
confronted to the phenomenon of oscillations of cumulant moments of some
distributions for squeezed and correlated field states. Possible extension of
the method to fields different from the electromagnetic field (gluons, pions,
etc.) is speculated.
