Creation and Destruction Operators and Coherent States
... of photons in a laser is quantum mechanical, but also behaves classically in many ways. Coherent states are relevant to this situation. The definition of a coherent state |α > is that it is an eigenstate of a, the destruction operator, a|α >= α|α >, with < α|α >= 1. From its definition, a is certainly ...

Quantum Theory. A Mathematical Approach
... Two points are worth noting here: 1. The appearance of Planck’s constant in a formula means that one is dealing with quantum theory. There is a relation between quantum and classical systems. By taking the limit ~ → 0 (classical limit) one obtains the corresponding classical system. Note however th ...
