Spectrum generating algebra and coherent states of the C λ-extended oscillator
C. Quesne
Abstract
C λ -extended oscillator algebras, generalizing the Calogero-Vasiliev algebra, where C λ is the cyclic group oforder λ , have recently proved very useful in the context of supersymmetric quantum mechanics and some of its variants. Here, we determine the spectrum generating algebra of the C λ -extended oscillator. We then construct its coherent states, study their nonclassical properties, and compare the latter with those of standard λ -photon coherent states, which are obtained as a special case. Finally, we briefly review some other types of coherent states associated with the C λ -extended oscillator.
