Completeness and Nonclassicality of Coherent States for Generalized Oscillator Algebras by Kevin Zelaya, Oscar Rosas-Ortiz, Zurika Blanco-Garcia, Sara Cruz y Cruz

“…The purposes of this work are (1) to show that the appropriate generalizations of the oscillator algebra permit the construction of a wide set of nonlinear coherent states in unified form and (2) to clarify the likely contradiction between the nonclassical properties of such nonlinear coherent states and the possibility of finding a classical analog for them since they are P-represented by a delta function. In (1) we prove that a class of nonlinear coherent states can be constructed to satisfy a closure relation that is expressed uniquely in terms of the Meijer G-function. …”
