Abstract

The long-standing problem of finding coherent states for the (bound state portion of the) hydrogen atom is positively resolved. The states in question (i) are normalized and parametrized continuously, (ii) admit a resolution of unity with a positive measure, and (iii) enjoy the property that the temporal evolution of any coherent state by the hydrogen atom Hamiltonian remains a coherent state for all time.
