The corresponding dynamics appears as classical trajectories, with the quantumness of the state included via its Wigner function. We obtain analytical estimates of the optimal squeezing attainable that compare fairly wel l with the numerical quantu m solution. We delimit the range of parameters for which the quasiclassical solution retains relevant quantu m features. %~
