In physics, specifically in quantum mechanics, a coherent state is the specific quantum state of the quantum harmonic oscillator, often described as a state which has dynamics most closely resembling the oscillatory behavior of a classical harmonic oscillator.

Schrdinger equation that satisfy the correspondence principle. The quantum harmonic oscillator and hence, the coherent states, arise in the quantum theory of a wide range of physical systems. For instance, a coherent state describes the oscillating motion of a particle confined in a quadratic potential well for an early reference, see e. Schiffs textbook3. The coherent state describes a state in a system for which the ground state wavepacket is displaced from the origin of the system. This state can be related to classical solutions by a particle oscillating with an amplitude equivalent to the displacement. These states, expressed as eigenvectors of the lowering operator and forming an overcomplete family, were introduced in the early papers of John R. Klauder, e. g. 4 In the quantum theory of light quantum electrodynamics and other bosonicquantum field theories, coherent states were introduced by the work of Roy J. Glauber in 1. 96. The concept of coherent states has been considerably abstracted it has become a major topic in mathematical physics and in applied mathematics, with applications ranging from quantization to signal processing and image processing see Coherent states in mathematical physics. For this reason, the coherent states associated to the quantum harmonic oscillator are sometimes referred to as canonical coherent states CCS, standard coherent states, Gaussian states, or oscillator states. Coherent states in quantum opticsedit. Figure 1 The electric field, measured by optical homodyne detection, as a function of phase for three coherent states emitted by a Nd YAG laser. The amount of quantum noise in the electric field is completely independent of the phase. As the field strength, i. In the limit of large field the state becomes a good approximation of a noiseless stable classical wave. The average photon numbers of the three states from bottom to top are 4. Figure 2 The oscillating wave packet corresponding to the second coherent state depicted in Figure 1. At each phase of the light field, the distribution is a Gaussian of constant width. In quantum optics the coherent state refers to a state of the quantized electromagnetic field, etc. Erwin Schrdinger derived it as a minimum uncertainty Gaussian wavepacket in 1. Schrdinger equation that satisfy the correspondence principle. It is a minimum uncertainty state, with the single free parameter chosen to make the relative dispersion standard deviation in natural dimensionless units equal for position and momentum, each being equally small at high energy. Further, in contrast to the energy eigenstates of the system, the time evolution of a coherent state is concentrated along the classical trajectories. The quantum linear harmonic oscillator, and hence coherent states, arise in the quantum theory of a wide range of physical systems. They occur in the quantum theory of light quantum electrodynamics and other bosonicquantum field theories. While minimum uncertainty Gaussian wave packets had been well known, they did not attract full attention until Roy J. Glauber, in 1. 96. In this respect, the concurrent contribution of E. C. G. Sudarshan should not be omitted,9 there is, however, a note in Glaubers paper that reads Uses of these states as generating functions for the ndisplaystyle n quantum states have, however, been made by J. Cambridge-IELTS-1-to-8-with-Answers-and-audio-CDs.jpg' alt='Basic Statistics By B L Agarwal Pdf' title='Basic Statistics By B L Agarwal Pdf' />Schwinger 1. Glauber was prompted to do this to provide a description of the Hanbury Brown Twiss experiment which generated very wide baseline hundreds or thousands of miles interference patterns that could be used to determine stellar diameters. This opened the door to a much more comprehensive understanding of coherence. For more, see Quantum mechanical description. In classical optics, light is thought of as electromagnetic waves radiating from a source. Often, coherent laser light is thought of as light that is emitted by many such sources that are in phase. Actually, the picture of one photon being in phase with another is not valid in quantum theory. Laser radiation is produced in a resonant cavity where the resonant frequency of the cavity is the same as the frequency associated with the atomic electron transitions providing energy flow into the field. C Program For 2D Transformation Reflection. As energy in the resonant mode builds up, the probability for stimulated emission, in that mode only, increases. That is a positive feedback loop in which the amplitude in the resonant mode increases exponentially until some non linear effects limit it. As a counter example, a light bulb radiates light into a continuum of modes, and there is nothing that selects any one mode over the other. The emission process is highly random in space and time see thermal light. In a laser, however, light is emitted into a resonant mode, and that mode is highly coherent. Thus, laser light is idealized as a coherent state. Classically we describe such a state by an electric field oscillating as a stable wave. See Fig. 1The energy eigenstates of the linear harmonic oscillator e. The Fock state e. A coherent state distributes its quantum mechanical uncertainty equally between the canonically conjugate coordinates, position and momentum, and the relative uncertainty in phase defined heuristically and amplitude are roughly equaland small at high amplitude. Quantum mechanical definitioneditMathematically, a coherent state displaystyle alpha rangle is defined to be the unique eigenstate of the annihilation operatora associated to the eigenvalue. Formally, this reads,a . Since a is not hermitian, is, in general, a complex number. Writing ei,displaystyle alpha alpha eitheta, and are called the amplitude and phase of the state displaystyle alpha rangle. The state displaystyle alpha rangle is called a canonical coherent state in the literature, since there are many other types of coherent states, as can be seen in the companion article Coherent states in mathematical physics. Physically, this formula means that a coherent state remains unchanged by the annihilation of field excitation or, say, a particle. An eigenstate of the annihilation operator has a Poissonian number distribution when expressed in a basis of energy eigenstates, as shown below. A Poisson distribution is a necessary and sufficient condition that all detections are statistically independent. Compare this to a single particle state 1displaystyle 1rangle Fock state once one particle is detected, there is zero probability of detecting another. The derivation of this will make use of dimensionless operators, X and P, normally called field quadratures in quantum optics. See Nondimensionalization. These operators are related to the position and momentum operators of a mass m on a spring with constant k,P1.

Figure 4 The probability of detecting n photons, the photon number distribution, of the coherent state in Figure 3. As is necessary for a Poissonian distribution the mean photon number is equal to the variance of the photon number distribution. Bars refer to theory, dots to experimental values.
