This brief account of the Tunisian physician Ibn Al Jazzar heralds the Congress of the International Society for the History of Medicine to be held in his native country in September 1998. His life work reveals him as a pioneer in distinguishing the art of medicine and pharmacy.

Schrödinger-Robertson uncertainty relation is minimized for the quadrature components of Weyl generators of the algebra su(N). This is done by determining explicit Fock-Bargamann representation of the su(N) coherent states and the differential realizations of the elements of su(N). New classes of coherent and squeezed states are explicitly derived. ∗Permanent adress: LPMC, Faculty of Sciences, ...

Robertson intelligent states which minimize the Schrödinger-Robertson uncertainty relation are constructed as eigenstates of a linear combination of Weyl generators of the su(3) algebra. The construction is based on the analytic representations of su(3) coherent states. New classes of coherent and squeezed states are explicitly derived. ∗Permanent adress: LPMC, Faculty of Sciences, University I...
