Generalized $su(1,1)$ coherent states for pseudo harmonic oscillator and their nonclassical properties

Abstract

In this paper we define a non-unitary displacement operator, which by acting on the vacuum state of the pseudo harmonic oscillator (PHO), generates new class of generalized coherent states (GCSs). An interesting feature of this approach is that, contrary to the Klauder-Perelomov and Barut-Girardello approaches, it does not require the existence of dynamical symmetries associated with the system under consideration. These states admit a resolution of the identity through positive definite measures on the complex plane. We have shown that the realization of these states for different values of the deformation parameters leads to the well-known Klauder-Perelomov and Barut-Girardello CSs associated with the $su(1,1)$ Lie algebra. This is why we call them the generalized $su(1,1)$ CSs for the PHO. Finally, study of some statistical characters such as squeezing, anti-bunching effect and sub-Poissonian statistics reveals that the constructed GCSs have indeed nonclassical features.
