Abstract

A brief historical description is given for the way in which coherent states have been defined. These states are defined uniquely by: (1) a dynamical symmetry group, usually a Lie group; (2) a hilbert space in which the group acts; and (3) a ground state within the hilbert space. The useful and extensive properties of coherent states are briefly summarized. The coherent states associated with systems of boson operators and systems of fermion operators are then described.
