Gaussian Klauder coherent states are constructed for the harmonic oscillator, the planar rotor, and the particle in a box. The standard harmonic oscillator coherent states are given by expansions in the eigenstates of the Hamiltonian in terms of a complex parameter \ensuremath{\alpha}. When the complex modulus of \ensuremath{\alpha} is large, these states are identical in behavior with a particular choice of Gaussian Klauder coherent state. When the angular momentum of a planar rotor is large compared with Planck's constant, the angle distribution associated with a Gaussian Klauder coherent state for this case remains sharply localized for many rotations. Similarly, for the particle in a box, it is possible to choose parameters in the Gaussian Klauder coherent state so that a localized particle bounces back and forth at constant velocity between the walls of the box for many periods without significant delocalization. Buried in this behavior is the Fourier series for a triangle wave. These examples show how Gaussian Klauder coherent states are of utility in understanding quantum-classical correspondence.

We consider the time-dependent bi-coherent states that are essentially the Gazeau-Klauder coherent states for the two dimensional noncommutative harmonic oscillator. Starting from some q-deformations of the oscillator algebra for which the entire deformed Fock space can be constructed explicitly, we define the q-deformed bi-coherent states. We verify the generalized Heisenberg’s uncertainty relations projected onto these states. For the initial value in time, the states are shown to satisfy a generalized version of Heisenberg’s uncertainty relations. For the initial value in time and for the parameter of noncommutativity θ = 0, the inequalities are saturated for the simultaneous measurement of the position-momentum observables. When the time evolves, the uncertainty products are different from their values at the initial time and do not always respect the generalized uncertainty relations.
