Resumen:
This chapter is organized as follows. In section 2 we start presenting the background material and methodology that will be employed in the following chapters. In section 3 we revise the Husimi distribution and the Wehrl entropy for the problem of a particle in a magnetic field. In section 4 we discuss phase space delocalization for the rigid rotator within a semiclassical context by recourse to the Husimi distributions of both the linear and the 3D−anisotropic instances. In section 5 we propose a procedure to generalize the Husimi distribution to systems with continuous spectrum. We start examining a pioneering work, by Gazeau and Klauder, where the concept of coherent states for systems with discrete spectrum was extended to systems with continuous one. Finally, some concluding remarks and open problems are commented in section 6 .
