Coherent States and Some Topics in Quantum Information Theory : Review

Abstract

In the first half we make a short review of coherent states and generalized coherent ones based on Lie algebras su(2) and su(1,1), and the Schwinger's boson method to construct representations of the Lie algebras. In the second half we make a review of recent developments on both swap of coherent states and cloning of coherent states which are important subjects in Quantum Information Theory.
