Coherent angular momentum states for the two-dimensional oscillator

Anthony J. Bracken, D. S. McAnally, Olúwolé Òdúndún

Coherent angular momentum states are defined for the two-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator. They share many attractive properties with the familiar (Cartesian) coherent states, but are in general distinct from those states. The probabilities of obtaining particular values for the radial and angular momentum quantum numbers follow independent Poisson distributions in the new states, but not in the old. In a quasiclassical description of the oscillator, corresponding to a given classical trajectory, the uncertainty in the angular momentum of the system is smaller if the new states are used rather than the old. The new states are the natural analogs of the coherent angular momentum states introduced for the three-dimensional oscillator by Bracken and Leemon [A. J. Bracken and H. I. Leemon, J. Math. Phys. 22, 719 (1981)].

Algebraic solution of 3-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator

Yang Ya-tian

By using the boson operators which carry angular momentum of one unit the eigenfunctions of hamiltonian of 3-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator are constructed uniformly. The relation between algebraic solution and the solution obtained by solving differential equation directly are discussed. The method is simple and elegant. We have a unified expression for eigenstates here. The Lie algebra between the operators used are quite simple.

Yrast Spectra of Weakly Interacting Bose-Einstein Condensates

Ben R. Mottelson

The low energy quantal spectrum is considered as a function of the total angular momentum for a system of weakly interacting bosonic atoms held together by an external isotropic harmonic potential. It is found that besides the usual condensation into the lowest state of the oscillator the system exhibits two additional kinds of condensate and associated thermodynamic phase transitions. These new phenomena are derived from the degrees of freedom of ``partition space'' which describe the multitude of different ways in which the angular momentum can be distributed among the atoms while remaining all the time in the lowest state of the oscillator.
