Abstract

This chapter discusses in detail the mathematical structure of the coherent states of the harmonic oscillator. It then follows with a detailed discussion of the technical details of the Glauber’s coherent states. Perhaps the most spectacular outcome of the Glauber’s coherent states is that such states are the eigenstates of the non-Hermitian annihilation operator given by Eq. 2.30.
