Coherent States for Kronecker Products of Non-Compact Groups: Formulation and Applications

Bindu A. Bambah, G. S. Agarwal

abstract: We introduce and study the properties of a class of coherent states for the group SU(1,1) X SU(1,1) and derive explicit expressions for these using the Clebsch-Gordan algebra for the SU(1,1) group. We restrict ourselves to the discrete series representations of SU(1,1). These are the generalization of the `Barut Girardello' coherent states to the Kronecker Product of two non-compact groups.The resolution of the identity and the analytic phase space representation of these states is presented. This phase space representation is based on the basis of products of `pair coherent states' rather than the standard number state canonical basis. We discuss the utility of the resulting `bi-pair coherent states' in the context of four-mode interactions in quantum optics.
