Construction of even and odd combinations of Morse-like coherent states

Abstract

In this work we construct approximate coherent states for the Morse potential using a method inspired by the f -oscillator formalism (Man’ko et al 1996 Proc. 4th Wigner Symp. ed M Natig, Atakishiyev, T H Seligman and K B Wolf (Singapore: World Scientific) p 421). We make even and odd combinations of these states and evaluate the temporal evolution of the position operator and its dispersion as a function of time when the states evolve under a nonlinear Morse Hamiltonian.

Morse-like squeezed coherent states and some of their properties

O de los Santos-Sánchez, J. Récamier

Using the f-deformed oscillator formalism, we introduce a class of squeezed coherent states for a Morse potential system (Morse-like squeezed coherent states) defined as approximate eigenstates of a linear combination of f-deformed ladder operators. For the states thus constructed, we analyze their statistical properties, their uncertainty relations, their Wigner function and their temporal evolution on phase space.

Phase space picture of Morse-like coherent states based upon the Wigner function

O de los Santos-Sánchez, J. Récamier

Using the Wigner distribution function, we analyze the behavior on phase space of generalized coherent states associated with the Morse potential (Morse-like coherent states). Within the f -deformed oscillator formalism, such states are constructed by means of the following two definitions: (i) as deformed displacement operator coherent states and (ii) as deformed photon-added coherent states.

Even and odd combinations of nonlinear coherent states

O de los Santos-Sánchez, J. Récamier

In this work we present some statistical properties of even and odd combinations of nonlinear coherent states associated with two nonlinear potentials; one supporting a finite number of bound states and the other supporting an infinite number of bound states, within the framework of an f-deformed algebra. We calculate their normalized variance and the temporal evolution of their dispersion relations using nonlinear coherent states defined as (a) eigensates of the deformed annihilation operator and (b) those states created by the application of a deformed displacement operator upon the ground state of the oscillator.

Coherent states and a path integral for the Morse oscillator

Christopher C. Gerry

Coherent states for the Morse oscillator are constructed using generalized coherent states associated with the SO(2,1) noninvariance group for this potential. By using the path integral over these states, it is shown that the Morse oscillator may be viewed as a harmonic oscillator evolving in a fictitious time. To show that this picture is mathematically consistent, we compute the path integral for the Green's function and recover the bound-state spectrum.

Formation of Schrödinger-cat states in the Morse potential: Wigner function picture

Péter Földi, Attila Czirják, Balázs Molnár +1 more

We investigate the time evolution of Morse coherent states in the potential of the NO molecule. We present animated wave functions and Wigner functions of the system exhibiting spontaneous formation of Schrödinger-cat states at certain stages of the time evolution. These nonclassical states are coherent superpositions of two localized states corresponding to two di.erent positions of the center of mass. We analyze the degree of nonclassicality as the function of the expectation value of the position in the initial state. Our numerical calculations are based on a novel, essentially algebraic treatment of the Morse potential.

Coherent states for exactly solvable potentials

T. Shreecharan, Prasanta Kumar Panigrahi, J. Banerji

A general algebraic procedure for constructing coherent states of a wide class of exactly solvable potentials, e.g., Morse and P\"oschl-Teller, is given. The method, a priori, is potential independent and connects with earlier developed ones, including the oscillator-based approaches for coherent states and their generalizations. This approach can be straightforwardly extended to construct more general coherent states for the quantum-mechanical potential problems, such as the nonlinear coherent states for the oscillators. The time evolution properties of some of these coherent states show revival and fractional revival, as manifested in the autocorrelation functions, as well as, in the quantum carpet structures.
