Generalized coherent states for the double-well potential

We construct generalized coherent states for the one-dimensional double-well potential and calculate their Mandel parameter, uncertainty relation and Wigner functions. The singularities of their autocorrelation function undergo bifurcations as the mean energy of the system is varied, and we analyse their structure. In the high-energy regime these states consist in a coherent superposition of two minimum-uncertainty gaussians (they are Schr¨ odinger catlike states).
