Abstract
Synchrotron radiation is quantum radiation of a charged particle in a homogeneous magnetic field, or, which is the same, a radiative decay of the Landau levels. So this effect can be described by calculating the mass operator for the particle in a homogeneous magnetic field [225, 226]. As shown in [223], which we follow in this chapter, using coherent states simplifies the calculations substantially.
