Abstract
A class of noncoherent states (NCS) with the same statistical properties of the coherent state (CS) is investigated. Contrarily to the CS, the NCS exh ibits nonclassical properties which come from the difference between off-di agonal terms rho(n,n') of the Fock's representation for the CS and the NCS. The phase-distribution and Wigner function for the NCS are also discussed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
