Description
The coherent states of the simple harmonic oscillator with an impenetrable barrier at its center are studied. This half oscillator is the equivalent of a pendulum that bounces elastically off a vertical wall directly below the point of suspension with the angle of swing sufficiently small. The system can also be considered as a paddle ball, where the paddle is fixed and the ball is constrained by a spring attached to the paddle. The coherent states are almost the same as the familiar Gaussian...[Show more]
