Quantum Correlation Coefficients for Angular Coherent States
Wei Chen, He Yan, Hao Guo
Abstract
Quantum covariance and correlation coefficients of angular or SU(2) coherent states are directly calculated for all irreducible unitary representations. These results explicitly verify that the angular coherent states minimize the Robertson–Schrodinger uncertainty relation for all spins, which means that they are the so-called intelligent states. The same results can be obtained by the Schwinger representation approach.
