Abstract
We investigate irradiated high-mobility two-dimensional electron systems (2DES) under low or moderated magnetic fields. These systems present microwave-induced magnetoresistance oscillations (MIRO) which, as we demonstrate, reveal the presence of coherent states of the quantum harmonic oscillator. We also show that the principle of minimum uncertainty of coherent states is at the heart of MIRO and zero-resistance states (ZRS). Accordingly, we are able to explain, based on coherent states, important experimental evidence of these photo-oscillations, such as their physical origin, their periodicity with the inverse of the magnetic field and their peculiar oscillations minima and maxima positions in regards of the magnetic field. Thus, remarkably enough, we come to the conclusion that 2DES, under low magnetic fields, become a system of quasiclassical states or coherent states and MIRO would be the smoking gun of the existence of these peculiar states in these systems.
