Coherent States: Past, Present, and Future

Description

The book consists of lectures delivered at the International Symposium on Coherent States: Past, Present, and Future, held in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, June 14 – 17 1993. Both theoretical and experimental subjects are treated. Theoretical subjects dealt with include quantum optics, quantum chaos, condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, high energy physics and foundational issues such as quantum-classical connections and various semiclassical quantization schemes. Experimental topics dealt with principally concern atomic and molecular physics and especially lasers. Topics related to coherent states, most notably wavelets, are also included.
