摘要：
We present the quantal dynamics of electronic wave packets in the hydrogen atom in the presence of circularly polarized microwave and magnetic fields in regions of classical stability. Whereas ave packets may disperse without the stabilizing influence of a magnetic field, in its presence stable motion can be maintained for wave packets that are localized either at global equilibria that are either a maximum or minimum in a zero-velocity surface. Because these extrema are locally harmonic their vacuum states are truly coherent states in the original sense of Schrodinger.
