Resumen:
Coherent states of the two-dimensional harmonic oscillator are constructed as superpositions of energy and angular momentum eigenstates. It is shown that these states are Gaussian wave-packets moving along a classical trajectory, with a well-defined elliptical polarization. They are coherent correlated states with respect to the usual Cartesian position and momentum operators. A set of creation and annihilation operators is defined in polar coordinates, and it is shown that these same states are precisely coherent states with respect to such operators. © 2005 Elsevier B.V.
