In this paper we give a more compact representation of the intelligent spin states defined by Aragone, Guerri, Salamó, and Tani. Using this new representation, we discuss the differences between minimum uncertainty states, coherent Bloch spin states and intelligent states. The evolution of these states under a particular time dependent Hamiltonian is studied, showing the relevance of the noncompact subgroup K of the Lorentz group. Finally we analyze the radiative properties connected with the intelligent states for a pointlike medium. The main results are: (I) they have a nonvanishing dipole moment (as the Bloch states) and (II) the proper intelligent states give a spontaneous emission intensity which is different from the one provided by the Bloch states.
Using purely algebraic techniques, based on the larger symmetry group of the Kepler problem, the phase shifts and the scattering amplitude for Coulomb scattering in N dimensions are derived.
