We construct action-angle coherent states in view to provide a quantization scheme that yields precisely a given observed energy spectrum ${E_n}$ for such a system. This construction is based on a Bayesian approach: each family corresponds to a choice of probability distributions such that the classical energy averaged with respect to this probability distribution is precisely $E_n$ up to a constant shift. The formalism is viewed as a natural extension of the Bohr-Sommerfeld rule and an alternative to the canonical quantization. In particular, it also yields a satisfactory angle operator as a bounded self-adjoint operator.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-10-31T02:11:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantization", "probability distribution", "construct action-angle coherent states", "conjugate phase-space variables", "satisfactory angle operator" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1088/1742-6596/343/1/012038", "journal": "Journal of Physics Conference Series", "year": 2012, "month": "Feb", "volume": 343, "number": 1, "pages": "012038" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012JPhCS.343a2038G" } } }
