The classical and semiclassical position and momentum information entropies for the reflectionless sech2 potential and a family of rational potentials are obtained explicitly. The sum of these entropies is of interest for the entropic uncertainty principle that is stronger than the Heisenberg uncertainty relation. The analytic results relate the classical period of the motion, total energy, position and momentum entropy, and dependence upon the principal quantum number n. The logarithmic energy dependence of the entropies is presented. The potentials considered include as special cases the attractive delta function and square well.

A three-dimensional harmonic oscillator is studied in the context of generalized coherent states. We construct its squeezed states as eigenstates of linear contribution of ladder operators which are associated to the generalized Heisenberg algebra. We study the probability density to show the compression effect on the squeezed states. Our analysis reveals that squeezed states give us some freedom on the precise knowledge of position of the particle while maintaining the Heisenberg uncertainty relation minimum, squeezed states remains squeezed states over time.

We study the consequences of the generalized Heisenberg uncertainty relation which admits a minimal uncertainty in length such as the case in a theory of quantum gravity. In particular, the theory of quantum harmonic oscillators arising from such a generalized uncertainty relation is examined. We demonstrate that all the standard properties of the quantum harmonic oscillators prevail when we employ a generalized momentum. We also show that quantum electrodynamics and coherent photon states can be described in the familiar standard manner despite the generalized uncertainty principle.

We have constructed coherent states for the higher derivative Pais–Uhlenbeck Oscillator (PUO). In the process, we have suggested a novel way to construct coherent states for the oscillator having only negative energy levels. These coherent states have negative energies in general but their coordinate and momentum expectation values and dispersions behave in an identical manner as that of normal (positive energy) oscillator. The coherent states for the PUO have constant dispersions and a modified Heisenberg Uncertainty Relation. Moreover, under reasonable assumptions on parameters these coherent states can have positive energies.
