It is shown that if one has access to only one mode of a two-mode squeezed-vacuum state, the photon statistics of this mode is indistinguishable from that of a thermal distribution. Parametric interactions that give rise to two-mode squeezing thus provide a mechanism for thermalization that is intrinsically quantum mechanical.
