We then build coherent states of the latter as eigenstates of such annihilation operators by employing a modified version of the normalization integral that is relevant to PT-symmetric systems. We show that the coherent states are normalizable only in the range (0, 1) of the underlying coupling parameter $\\alpha$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2001-12-18T14:21:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "annihilation operators", "pt-symmetric oscillator", "build coherent states", "normalization integral", "pt-symmetric systems" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 564867 } } }
