Intelligent states for angular momentum and Su(3) observables / by Benjamin R. Lavoie.

Abstract

We generate expressions for all of the su(2) and su(3) intelligent states. To do so we combine well known coupling methods with unitary transformations; the construction is simple and efficient, and can be extended to generate intelligent states for any su(N) algebra. We also present a discussion of some of the properties of the su(2) and su(3) intelligent states.
