Abstract
In this chapter we provide the basic properties of the coherent-state technique and its application to the interaction of radiation with matter. Greater details about this technique can be found in books by Klauder and Sudarshan (1968), Malkin and Man’ko (1979), Klauder and Skagerstam (1985), Perelomov (1986), Peřina (1991), in reviews by Zhang, Feng and Gilmore (1990), Kim and Noz (1991) and in proceedings on squeezed states and uncertainty relations edited by Han, Kim and Man’ko (1993) and on harmonic oscillators edited by Han, Kim and Zachary (1993).
