Abstract
A representation of the algebraic hamiltonian for the anharmonic Morse oscillator as a quadratic form, H = T1ω( 1 2P2 + 1 2Q2), where P and Q are operators is derived. The commutator of P and Q is an operator that tends to i (times the identity operator) in the harmonic limit. Coherent states and anharmonic normal modes for a linear triatomic molecule are discussed as potential applications.
