Strongly interacting systems are characterized by heavily dressed entities with internal degrees of freedom, which, on a local level, can be described in terms of coherent quantum states. We examine the modification of these local coherent quantum states when such entities condense into a macroscopic coherent quantum state, such as superfluidity. As an example, we consider a system of electrons coupled to local lattice deformations. Significant changes in the phonon clouds surrounding the charge carriers occur when the system develops into a spatially phase-locked state. The question of localized self-trapped charge carriers (bipolarons) in the normal state becoming delocalized upon entering the superconducting phase is discussed in terms of squeezing of the local coherent phonon states. Suggestions for experimental verifications of these features associated with the lattice dynamics are made.
