Realistic Picture of 2D Harmonic Oscillator Coherent States

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We show that a 2D harmonic oscillator coherent state is a soliton which has the same evolution as a spinning top: the center of mass follows a classical trajectory and the particle rotates around its center of mass in the same direction as its spin with the harmonic oscillator frequency.
