I'm looking to calculate the expected values of a coherent state (of a harmonic oscillator) evolving in time. I know that the x and p expectation values are as in classical motion, but I'm wondering about x2 and p2.
Let's say I'm starting with the coherent state |b⟩, with b∈R, so the wavefunction is the ground state displaced by bx0√2:
ψb(x)=ψ0(x−bx0√2)
Or similarly the Wigner function will be
Wb(x,p)=W0(x−bx0√2,p)
Now I know the expected values of x and p are classical:
⟨x(t)⟩=bx0√2cos(−ωt) ⟨p(t)⟩=bp0√2sin(−ωt)
But what about ⟨x2(t)⟩ and ⟨p2(t)⟩ and ?
