Abstract

The dynamical algebra associated with a family of isospectral oscillator Hamiltonians is studied through the analysis of its representation in the basis of energy eigenstates. It is shown that this representation becomes similar to that of the standard Heisenberg algebra, and it is dependent on a parameter omega >or=0. We call it the distorted Heisenberg algebra, where omega is the distortion parameter. The corresponding coherent states for an arbitrary omega are derived, and some particular examples are discussed in detail. A prescription to produce the squeezing, by adequately selecting the initial state of the system, is given.
