Abstract
Generalized coherent states have the advantage of forming on the one hand a complete and orthonormal set of states, which can be conveniently applied in perturbation calculations, and, on the other hand, these states preserve the quasi-classical features of a quantum mechanical process. We shall demonstrate this by considering two typical examples from laser and plasma physics.
