The spectrum of the Hamiltonian of an electron moving on a two-dimensional plane in the presence of a uniform magnetic field directed along the \(z\) axis consists of eigenvalues of infinite multiplicity (Landau levels). An orthonormal basis expressed in terms of Laguerre polynomials can be indicated in each eigenspace. Based on these orthonormal bases, the author obtains a system of coherent states expressed as a series in the basis of the number states for each Landau level, and prove that these coherent states coincide with the Perelomov coherent states related to the Landau level obtained by using the Schrödinger representation of the Heisenberg group. By comparing the two expressions for the same coherent states associated with Landau levels, the author obtains a generalization of the relation expressing the Hermite polynomials with the help of the generating function. In the obtained generalized version, the coefficients depend on Laguerre polynomials.
