Abstract: (Elsevier)
The “harmonic oscillator”, introduced by Itzykson and Balian, is considered, on finite phase-space lattices with the structure of Galois fields GF [ p 2 ]. We study this system at the classical and quantum mechanical level. Explicit construction of the quantum eigenstates provides us with a detailed understanding of the spectrum of scales relevant to this model. We construct also the coherent states appropriate to the finite Heisenberg-Weyl and affine groups. Possible applications are discussed.References(26)
