A Phase in a Coherent State Wave Function - Is It Always Irrelevant?

W. Berej, P. Rozmej

abstract: We point out that harmonic oscillator coherent states, in coordinate representation, require particular phase factor, in order to represent classical time evolution properly. The presence of such a phase is clearly stated only in a minority of scientific sources discussing properties of coherent states.
