DIFFUSION PROCESSES AND COHERENT STATES
S. De Martino, Silvio De Siena, Fabrizio Illuminati
Abstract
It is shown that uncertainty relations, as well as coherent and squeezed states, are structural properties of stochastic processes with Fokker-Planck dynamics. The quantum mechanical coherent and squeezed states are explicitly constructed via Nelson stochastic quantization. The method is applied to derive new minimum uncertainty states in time-dependent oscillator potentials. 1
