Quantum Physics 2010-04-16 v1

Abstract

The coherent states are reviewed with particular application to the free particle system. The didactic advantages of the formalism is emphasized. Several interesting features, like the relation of the coherent states with the Galilei group and with the Husimi distribution are presented. Keywords: quantum mechanics, coherent states, free particle.
