Abstract

Spin plays an exceedingly special role in quantum optics with the underlying Lie Algebra and Lie Group of SU(2). In this chapter, we shall discuss in detail all the physical implications of the mathematical ramifications. Remarkably, both the important concepts of geometric phases and cat states for spin systems are rooted in the spin coherent states.
