Popis:	We present a new category of quantum Lissajous states for a 2DHO having commensurate angular frequencies. The states result from the projection of ordinary coherent states onto a degenerate subspace of the 2DHO. In this way, new, non-classical quantum mechanically stationary states arise from the classical but non-stationary coherent states. The connection to Lissajous figures is that our states all have probability densities that are localized along the corresponding classical Lissajous figures. We further emphasize the important interplay between the probability current density and the emergence of quantum interference in the states we examine. In doing so, we are able to present a consistent discussion of a class of states known as vortex states. Comment: 76 pages
