Description

Book Synopsis
This volume is a review on coherent states and some of their applications. The usefulness of the concept of coherent states is illustrated by considering specific examples from the fields of physics and mathematical physics. Particular emphasis is given to a general historical introduction, general continuous representations, generalized coherent states, classical and quantum correspondence, path integrals and canonical formalism. Applications are considered in quantum mechanics, optics, quantum chemistry, atomic physics, statistical physics, nuclear physics, particle physics and cosmology. A selection of original papers is reprinted.

Trade Review
"The book is clear proof of the exceptionally high value, significance and universality of the concept of coherent states. Its reading was a source of much pleasure to the present reviewer. It certainly is a great success. The Reader of the present review will naturally ask: is the book worth having? My answer is: Yes, certainly!" Journal of Physique (France) 1986
