TL;DR: In this article, the Kustaanheino-Stiefel transformation is used to transform the Coulomb problem to a four-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator with a constraint.
Abstract: The Kustaanheino-Stiefel transformation is used to transform the Coulomb problem to a four-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator with a constraint. Ordinary coherent states are introduced over this oscillator and are shown to evolve in a fictitious time. When projected back into the physical space, the states follow the classical Kepler orbits in physical time. The resulting quasiclassical picture is obtained without the Bohr correspondence principle of taking only contributions from high principal quantum numbers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the properties of the states U2( rho, theta, lambda ) mod A, where U2 is an operator associated with the group SU(1,1), and mod A is a standard coherent state defined in terms of the usual boson creation and destruction operators aDagger and a.
Abstract: The authors study the properties of the states U2( rho , theta , lambda ) mod A) where U2 is an operator associated with the group SU(1,1), and mod A) is a standard (atomic or Glauber) coherent state defined in terms of the usual boson creation and destruction operators aDagger and a. They show how these states may be viewed as ordinary coherent states in terms of the Bogoliubov quasiparticles whose creation and destruction operators bDagger and b are associated with the operators aDagger and a by a Bogoliubov transformation. As an important example of the use of these states, they show that they are the coherent states associated with a uniformly accelerated (Rindler) observer moving through Minkowski space. The previous results then simply show how the Minkowski (inertial) vacuum appears to the Rindler observer as a black-body radiator with a Planckian distribution corresponding to a temperature proportional to the proper acceleration.

TL;DR: In this article, a noncommutative version of the Cramer theorem is used to show that if two quantum systems are prepared independently, and if their center of mass is found to be in a coherent state, then each of the component systems is also in the coherent state.
Abstract: A noncommutative version of the Cramer theorem is used to show that if two quantum systems are prepared independently, and if their center of mass is found to be in a coherent state, then each of the component systems is also in a coherent state, centered around the position in phase space predicted by the classical theory. Thermal coherent states are also shown to possess properties similar to classical ones.

TL;DR: In this article, the path integral expression for coherent state transition amplitudes is examined from a group theoretical point of view, and new sets of coherent states are introduced based on dynamical subalgebras and also with fiducial vectors in the rigged Hilbert space.
Abstract: Generalised coherent states are used in the quantum mechanical study of physical systems with homogeneous phase spaces, for which there is a group theoretical approach to quantisation. New sets of coherent states are introduced based on dynamical subalgebras and also with fiducial vectors in the rigged Hilbert space. The path integral expression for coherent state transition amplitudes is examined from a group theoretical point of view.
