Abstract

The discrete subset of coherent states on a lattice in phase space is used as an expansion basis for states and operators in quantum mechanics. The nature of the expansion as well as the uniqueness of the expansion coefficients is investigated. An explicit example is given for the harmonic-oscillator states.
