Hi,
See J.R Klauder's papers:
The Current State of Coherent States : quant-ph/0110108
Coherent States for Discrete Spectrum Dynamics : quant-ph/9810044
In these papers Klauder tries to generalize the definition of
coherent states.
He selects 4 conditions for coherent states:
1) Resolution of Unity
2) Temporal Stability
3) Overcompleteness
4) Action Identity
I have no problems with 1 - 3 . However I dont understand 4).
Klauder insists that
for a coherent state |J,Y> to be physically meaningful J and Y have to
be classical action
angle variables. So my questions are:
1) Why the insistance that (J,Y) should be classical action angle
variables?
2) How are action-angle variables important in quantum-classical
correspondence
3) Is Klauder trying to form a theory of how classical emerges from
quantum?
