a quantum state of a field mode that most closely resembles a classical wave, an eigenstate of the annihilation operator with Poissonian photon statistics.

In quantum optics, coherent state refers to a quantum state of a field mode that most closely resembles a classical wave, an eigenstate of the annihilation operator with Poissonian photon statistics. This meaning comes from Glauber (1963) in Physical Review.[1]
