Generalized Version of the Creation and Annihilation Operators for the Schrödinger Equation

Published Jan 30, 2017• 0 citations

Abstract

A generalized version of the creation and annihilation operators is constructed and the factorization of the Schrödinger equation is investigated. It is shown that the generalized version of factorization operators yield a factorization for the twelve different separable coordinates for the Schrödinger equation.

Generalized creation and annihilation operators: Physical interpretation and reordering properties

Akiva Novoselsky, Mathilde Vallières, Robert Gilmore +1 more

Matrix elements for fermion and boson operators describing the creation or annihilation of particles with multiple angular-momentum quantum numbers can be factored into products of matrix elements of generalized operators, one for each quantum number. The generalized operators have nonzero matrix elements between states of arbitrary permutational symmetry. This factorization greatly increases the efficiency of shell-model calculations. We provide a physical interpretation for these generalized operators and introduce a simple operator-reordering procedure.

Generalized creation and annihilation operators via complex nonlinear Riccati equations

Dieter Schuch, Octavio Castaños, Óscar Rosas-Ortiz

Based on Gaussian wave packet solutions of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, a generalization of the conventional creation and annihilation operators and the corresponding coherent states can be obtained. This generalization includes systems where also the width of the coherent states is time-dependent as they occur for harmonic oscillators with time-dependent frequency or systems in contact with a dissipative environment. The key point is the replacement of the frequency ω 0 that occurs in the usual definition of the creation/annihilation operator by a complex time-dependent function that fulfils a nonlinear Riccati equation. This equation and its solutions depend on the system under consideration and on the (complex) initial conditions. Formal similarities also exist with supersymmetric quantum mechanics. The generalized creation and annihilation operators also allow to construct exact analytic solutions of the free motion Schrödinger equation in terms of Hermite polynomials with time-dependent variable.

A method is given for expanding operator functions of q and p, where p = ℏ/i(∂/∂q), such that all q factors are to the left of the p factors. The method is applicable to the rearrangement of creation and annihilation operators.

Exactly Solvable 'Discrete' Quantum Mechanics; Shape Invariance, Heisenberg Solutions, Annihilation-Creation Operators and Coherent States

Satoru Odake, Ryu Sasaki B

Various examples of exactly solvable ‘discrete’ quantum mechanics are explored explicitly with emphasis on shape invariance, Heisenberg operator solutions, annihilation-creation operators, the dynamical symmetry algebras and coherent states. The eigenfunctions are the (q-) Askey-scheme of hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials satisfying difference equation versions of the Schrödinger equation. Various reductions (restrictions) of the symmetry algebra of the Askey-Wilson system are explored in detail.
