Non-linear wave packet dynamics of coherent states
Description
We have compared the non-linear wave packet dynamics of coherent states of various symmetry groups and found that certain generic features of non-linear evolution are present in each case. Thus the initial coherent structures are quickly destroyed but are followed by Schroedinger cat formation and revival. We also report important differences in their evolution. (author)
