Abstract

Even and odd phase coherent states associated with the Hermetian phase operator theory are introduced in terms of the creation operation of the phase quanta defined in a finite-dimensional phase state space. Some mathematical and physical properties of these quantum states are studied in some detail. It is shown that the even phase coherent states together with the odd ones build an overcomplete Hilbert space. Even and odd coherent-state formalism of the Pegg - Barnett phase operator is given in terms of the projection operator in the even and odd phase coherent-state space. The number - phase uncertainty relation is investigated for these quantum states. It is shown that even and odd phase coherent states are not minimum uncertainty and intelligent states for the number and phase operators.
