Abstract: | Some variants of the definitions and properties of deformed oscillators are reviewed. The q-analogs of coherent states are discussed. We also consider some applications of deformed oscillators, including q-oscillator representations of the simplest quantum algebras and superalgebras, q-coherent states of the suq(2) and suq(1,1) quantum algebras of the Jaynes-Cummings model. Generalizations are given for the case of several degrees of freedom.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A.
