We investigate the medium effect of a parity-time (PT)-symmetric bilayer on the quantum optical properties of an incident squeezed light at zero temperature (T=0 K). To do so, we use the canonical quantization approach and describe the amplification and dissipation properties of the constituent layers of the bilayer structure by Lorentz model to analyze the quadrature squeezing of the outgoing state from the bilayer structure. Our results show that despite the apparent compensation of the losses within the bilayer in the symmetry phase, the outgoing light is no longer squeezed. The results also show that the quantum optical effective medium theory correctly predicts the quantum features of the light outgoing from the PT-symmetric bilayer structure.
