Idea

The concept of coherent state in quantum mechanics/quantum physics may be formalized in the context of geometric quantization, The original definition is due to (Rawnsley 77), further developments include (Kirwin 07).

References

The original reference that interpreted coherent states in geometric quantization over Kähler manifolds is

A review and further developments of these considerations are in
