About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This book is meant to be a solid and formal introduction to the theory of coherent states and their applications in mathematical physics … . Most of the emphasis in this work is concentrated on applications of coherent states to semi-classical analysis, as well as to the mathematical treatment of the theory, hence providing a more consistent formal basis than other monographs on the subject. … will certainly be very useful for both physicists and mathematicians.” (Rutwig Campoamor-Stursberg, Mathematical Reviews, March, 2013)
“In this book, the authors elaborate the canonical Gaussian Coherent States and their applications. … This book is a masterpiece at present. The material covered in this book is designed for an advanced graduate student or researcher. The one-parameter coherent states today have caused a great interest for scholars. The authors introduce well into this topic.” (Chen Yong-Qing, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1243, 2012)
