What is a coherent state?
Superposition of large no of quantum states⇒ Classical particle.For example, Glauber coherent state :
|α〉= N (α)∞
∑n=0
αn√
n!|n〉, N (α)⇒ e−
|α|22
Sometimes called the minimum uncertainty wavepacket ∆x∆p≈ }/2
Canonical coherent states : ∆x = ∆p = }/√
2a|α〉= α|α〉|α〉= eαa†−α?a|0〉= D(α)|0〉,〈β|α〉 6= δ(α−β)
Squeezed coherent state : ∆x∆p = }/2
Applications : Quantum Optics, Quantum information, Laser Physics,Mathematical Physics etc.

Procedure
One can analyse all the properties mathematically. Which is notsufficient to realise the quality precisely.
How would you measure the precise quality?
Draw the classical trajectories by solving :
x =∂H∂p
, p =−∂H∂x
(1)
Draw the dynamics of the coherent states of the particle and compare.
How would you draw the trajectories of the coherent states?

Bohmian mechanics
Quantum theory⇒ Solution of Schrodinger equation : ψ⇒ Probabilitiesof actual result.
Is it possible to find some other interpretation?
David Bohm(1952)⇒ Alternative trajectory based interpretation.
Undoubtedly successful : photodissociation problems, tunnellingprocess, atom diffraction by surfaces, high harmonic generation etc.
Bohmian mechanics =⇒ Still ongoing and controversial.Keeping interpretational issues aside =⇒ Apply it.

Bohmian mechanics (real case)
Time dependent Schrodinger equation :
ih∂ψ(x, t)
∂t=− h2
2m∂2ψ(x, t)
∂x2 +V(x)ψ(x, t)
WKB polar decomposition :
ψ(x, t) = R(x, t)eih S(x,t), R(x, t),S(x, t) ∈ R
Substitute ψ(x, t) into Schrodinger equation and separate real and imaginarypart :

ψJ(x,γ) needs to be well localised.
To examine : check weighting probability, |cn|2⇒ Poissonian.
Deviation of |cn|2 from Poissonian is captured by Mandel parameter, Q .

Q = 0 ⇒ Pure Poissonian, Q > 0 ⇒ Super-Poissonian.Q < 0 ⇒ Sub-Poissonian, |Q | � 1 ⇒ Quasi-Poissonian.

Quasi-Poissonian regime, Q → 0Perfect matching : Classical⇐⇒ Klauder coherent state
Sanjib Dey (City University London) Bohmian trajectories from coherent states 22 / 23
ConclusionOne must draw the trajectories of classical case and coherent states andcompare them to study the behaviour of the coherent states.
We have found an extra parameter Q which governs the behaviour of thecoherent states.
Q→ 0, Klauder state is a perfect coherent state for both real andcomplex cases.
Must take Klauder state for generalised models, instead of Glauber state.
Thank you for your attention
