Abstract
An isomorphism is realized between the (q)-deformed harmonic oscillator and a particular anharmonic oscillator model: it permits insight into the problem of the physics behind the deformation parameter q. In our model, the anharmonic coupling strength is shown to be proportional to q. The isomorphism permits us also to analyze and to interpret the appearance of various nonclassical features induced by a q deformation during the time evoluton of an su(2) coherent state.
