A path integral treatment of time-dependent Dunkl quantum mechanics

Abstract

This study addresses a significant gap in the literature by extending the path integral formalism to time-dependent systems within the Wigner–Dunkl framework, deriving exact propagator solutions for analytically solvable cases. By employing generalized canonical transformations, we reformulated the path integral to develop an explicit expression for the propagator. This formalism is applied to specific cases, including a Dunkl-harmonic oscillator with time-dependent mass and frequency. Solutions for the Dunkl–Caldirola-Kanai oscillator and a model with a strongly pulsating mass are derived, providing exact propagator expressions and corresponding wave functions. These findings extend the utility of Dunkl operators in quantum mechanics, offering new insights into the dynamics of time-dependent quantum systems and possibly find application in quantum optics, plasma physics, and other fields.

In this paper, we investigate the analytical solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for a harmonic oscillator with time-dependent mass and frequency, coupled with angular-dependent potential energy by utilizing the Dunkl derivatives. To obtain the solution, we employ the Lewis–Riesenfeld invariant methodology. Our approach broadens the scope of quantum mechanical analyses, offering exact solutions and new insights into dynamic quantum systems under varying conditions.

One-dimensional Dunkl quantum mechanics: a path integral approach

Amar Benchikha, B Hamil, B. C. Lütfüoğlu +1 more

Abstract In the present manuscript, we employ the Feynman path integral method to derive the propagator in one-dimensional Wigner-Dunkl quantum mechanics. To verify our findings we calculate the propagator associated with the free particle and the harmonic oscillator in the presence of the Dunkl derivative. We also deduce the energy spectra and the corresponding bound-state wave functions from the spectral decomposition of the propagator.

Path integral for new models of time-dependent harmonic oscillators

Badri Berrabah, Baya Bentag

We have presented a particular direct method to solve time-dependent quantum problems within the framework of path integrals by using explicitly time-dependent transformations. We have applied it to the case of harmonic oscillator with time-dependent mass and frequency. Some examples have illustrated the method used. From their exact propagators, normalized solutions have been obtained.

Path integral formalism for the Klein–Gordon-Dunkl oscillator in (1+d)-dimensional space-time coordinates

H. Benzair, Tahar Boudjedaa, M. Merad

Abstract In this paper, we extend the path integral formalism for the Klein–Gordon oscillator by replacing the standard derivative with the Dunkl derivative in 1D, 2D, and even in d − dimensions. Using space-time Cartesian coordinates, we derive the propagators and solve the problems exactly. We determine the energy eigenvalues and corresponding wave functions for the spinless particle. In limiting cases, where the Dunkl derivative parameters are set to zero, our results converge appropriately to those found in the literature for these problems.

Path integral formulation for Dunkl-Dirac oscillator in (1+1)-dimensional space-time coordinates

H. Benzair, Tahar Boudjedaa, M. Merad

Abstract In this paper, we extend the path integral formalism for the Dirac oscillator in (1+1) dimension by replacing the spatial derivative with the Dunkl derivative. Utilizing representations in position space-time coordinates, we precisely calculate the propagator, expressed in terms of generalized Hermite polynomials. The energy eigenvalues of the electron, along with their corresponding wave functions, are determined. In special cases, we can precisely evaluate the non-relativistic energy eigenvalues and wave functions, even in the absence of Dunkl parameters.

Path integral formulation in the central potential of Wigner-Dunkl quantum mechanics

H. Benzair, Tahar Boudjedaa, M. Merad

Abstract A central coordinate system is investigated within the framework of the Wigner-Dunkl deformation of quantum mechanics, treated using Feynman’s path integral approach. This approach involves performing path integration of a Lagrangian in polar coordinates, with an effective potential term that depends on both radial and angular coordinates. The success in separating variables within the two-dimensional Dunkl system facilitated obtaining exact expressions for the propagators associated with the free particle, inverse square potential, harmonic oscillator, and Coulomb potential. The energy eigenvalues and their corresponding wave functions are also determined.
