Coherent States in Classical Field Theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2025-09-25 v2 Quantum Physics

Abstract

We illustrate the emergence of classical analogue of coherent state and its generalisation in a purely classical field theoretical setting. Our algebraic approach makes use of the Poisson bracket and symmetries of the underlying field theory, in a complete parallel to the quantum construction. The classical phase space picture is found to play a key role in this construction.
