It is shown that broken phase symmetry states, described by deformed coherent states, suffer phase diffusion at a rate determined by the deformation parameter. Analytical discussions are given for the case of weak deformations, while detailed numerical results are presented when strong anharmonicity is present in the system.pdfMultidisciplinary sciencesJournal Article2073-8994https://doi.org/10.3390/sym1020240208831500009N/ANOIR00871
