Abstract
The original canonical coherent states could be defined in several ways. As applications for other sets of coherent states arose, the rules of definition were correspondingly changed. Among such rule changes were a change of group and relaxation of the analytic nature of the labels. Recent developments have done away with the group connections altogether and thereby allowed sets of coherent states to be defined that are temporally stable for a wide variety of dynamical systems including the hydrogen atom. This article outlines some of the current trends in the definitions and properties of present-day coherent states.
