Abstract
We study how can an angular momentum coherent state ∣ τ 〉 keeps its form-invariant during time evolution governed by the Hamiltonian H = f ( t ) J + + f * ( t ) J − + g ( t ) J z . We discuss this topic in the context of boson realization of ∣ τ 〉 . By employing the entangled state representation ∣ ζ 〉 and deriving a new binomial theorem involving two-subscript Hermite polynomials, we derive the wave function 〈 ζ ∣ τ 〉 , which turns out to be a single-subscript Hermite polynomial. Based on this result the maintenance of angular momentum coherent state during time evolution is examined, and the value of τ ( t ) is totally determined by the parameters involved in the Hamiltonian.
