This is the first part of what will be a two-part review of distribution functions in physics. Here
we deal with fundamentals and the second part will deal with applications. We discuss in …

The Jaynes–Cummings Model (JCM) has recently been receiving increased attention as
one of the simplest, yet intricately nonlinear, models of quantum physics. Emphasising the …

We present a mathematical study of the differentiable deformations of the algebras
associated with phase space. Deformations of the Lie algebra of C∞ functions, defined by …

We introduce states defined by‖ α, m>= am‖ α> up to a normalization constant, where‖
α> is a coherent state and m an integer. We study the mathematical and physical properties …

In this survey, various generalizations of Glauber–Sudarshan coherent 4 states are
described in a unified way, with their statistical properties and their 5 possible role in non …

A review is given of the quantum phase-space distribution functions with emphasis on both
the fundamental characteristics and practical applications of the distribution functions. The …

A class of normal ordering representations of quantum operators is introduced, that
generalises the Glauber-Sudarshan P-representation by using nondiagonal coherent state …

The purpose of this article is to review spontaneous emission from several different
viewpoints, although a large part of it will be devoted to the quantum statistical theories of …

In the preceding paper general deformations of the structures based on the classical
symplectic manifolds were examined. Quantization can be understood as a deformation of …

The emerging field of semiconductor quantum optics combines semiconductor physics and
quantum optics, with the aim of develo** quantum devices with unprecedented …
