Quantum squeezing is the nonlinear quantum mechanical effect by which the Heisenberg uncertainty in one observable can be reduced below the shot noise level at the expense of increased uncertainty in its conjugate observable. We study the detection of optical quadrature squeezing via homodyne detection in satellite links. The propagation of the quantum states over large distances and through a varying gravitational potential offers the possibility to test the fundamental laws of physics at the interface of quantum mechanics and general relativity. We model the task as a binary hypothesis testing problem where the null hypothesis corresponds to the vacuum state and the alternative hypothesis corresponds to the squeezed state. Using the Chernoff bound, we derive the number of individual measurements required to limit the average error probabilities to a given value.
