Know about the book -

Coherent States: Applications In Physics And Mathematical Physics is written by John R Klauder and published by World Scientific. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 9814590886 (ISBN 10) and 9789814590884 (ISBN 13).

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.
