Minimum-Uncertainty States|γ〉and the States|n〉γof the Electromagnetic Field

Two vector bases suitable for the representations of states of the electromagnetic field are introduced. The minimum-uncertainty states $|\gamma 〉$ form an overcomplete nonorthogonal set. The ${|n〉}_{\gamma }$ states form a complete orthogonal set. The various relations they satisfy are derived via an oscillator frequency transformation. The corresponding similarity transformation of the non-normal operator changes the physical character of its characteristic states. The photon statistics of the states $|\gamma 〉$ and ${|n〉}_{\gamma }$ are shown to display anticorrelation effects.
