Description
This book presents the essential ideas of coherent states and provides researchers and graduate students with the necessary tools for various applications of generalized coherent state theory. These applications include areas such as quantum information, quantum phase transitions, quantum many-body systems, quantum chaos, and quantum open systems. The aim of the book is to show how coherent states can be applied to an extensive range of physical systems. The authors provide many exercises at the end of each chapter to enhance the mastery of the subject. Throughout the first seven chapters, only an understanding of elementary quantum mechanics is assumed, and for the last six chapters, some basic knowledge of group theory is requested to follow the arguments.

About the author
Da-Hsuan Feng received his Ph.D. in theoretical nuclear physics from the University of Minnesota in 1972. From 1991-2000, he was M. Russell Wehr Professor of Physics at Drexel University. From 2001-2007, he was Vice President (VP) of Research and Professor of Physics at the University of Texas in Dallas. From 2007-2017, he was Senior Executive VP at National Tsing Hua University, National Cheng Kung University and Special Advisor to the President of University of Macau, respectively. Between 1983-1985, he was the Program Director of Theoretical Physics of the National Science Foundation. In 1996, he became a Fellow of the American Physical Society: "For outstanding contributions to the understanding of nuclear structure physics, particularly for the use of coherentstates." In 1990, together with Wei-Min Zhang and Robert Gilmore published a review article entitled Coherent States: Theory and Some Applications in the Review of Modern Physics, cited more than 1600 times.
