Using coherent states, we show that the treatment of the system is simplified, that the relationship between the classical and quantum solutions becomes transparent, and that the evolution operator of the system can be calculated easily as the free evolution operator of the harmonic oscillator followed by a displacement operator. The rain and the cold have worn at the petals but the beauty is eternal regardless of season.
We will also refer to this equation as a forced equation or forced harmonic oscillator, and we will refer to gt as the forcing function. Forced oscillationwhen a system oscillates with the help of an external periodic force, other than its own natural angular frequency, its oscillations are called forced or driven oscillations. It serves as a prototype in the mathematical treatment of such diverse phenomena as elasticity, acoustics, ac circuits, molecular and crystal vibrations, electromagnetic fields and optical properties of matter.
