Abstract

Exact coherent states for the time-dependent harmonic oscillator are constructed. These new coherent states have most, but not all, of the properties of the coherent states for the time-independent oscillator. For example, these coherent states give the exact classical motion, but they are not minimum-uncertainty states.
