Approximate coherent states for nonlinear systems

Abstract: On the basis of the f-deformed oscillator formalism, we propose to construct nonlinear coherent states for Hamiltonian systems having linear and quadratic terms in the the number operator by means of the two following definitions: i) as deformed annihilation operator coherent states (AOCS) and ii) as deformed displacement operator coherent states (DOCS). For the particular cases of the Morse and Modified P\"oschl-Teller potentials, modeled as f-deformed oscillators (both supporting a finite number of bound states), the properties of their corresponding nonlinear coherent states, viewed as DOCS, are analyzed in terms of their occupation number distribution, their evolution on phase space, and their uncertainty relations.
