Geometric phases, evolution loops and generalized oscillator potentials

David J. Fernández C.

Published Jan 1, 1995• 0 citations
OpenAlex

Abstract

The geometric phases for dynamical processes where the evolution operator becomes the identity (evolution loops) are studied. The case of time-independent Hamiltonians with equally spaced energy levels is considered; special emphasis is made on the potentials having the same spectrum as the harmonic oscillator potential (the generalized oscillator potentials) and their recently found coherent states.

Time evolution, cyclic solutions and geometric phases for the generalized time-dependent harmonic oscillator

Qiong-Gui Lin

The generalized time-dependent harmonic oscillator is studied. Though several approaches to the solution of this model have been available, yet a new approach is presented here, which is very suitable for the study of cyclic solutions and geometric phases. In this approach, finding the time evolution operator for the Schrödinger equation is reduced to solving an ordinary differential equation for a c-number vector which moves on a hyperboloid in a three-dimensional space. Cyclic solutions do not exist for all time intervals. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of cyclic solutions is given. There may exist some particular time interval in which all solutions with definite parity, or even all solutions are cyclic. Criteria for the appearance of such cases are given. The known relation that the nonadiabatic geometric phase for a cyclic solution is proportional to the classical Hannay angle is reestablished. However, this is valid only for special cyclic solutions. For more general ones, the nonadiabatic geometric phase may contain an extra term. Several cases with relatively simple Hamiltonians are solved and discussed in detail. Cyclic solutions exist in most cases. The pattern of the motion, say, finite or infinite, cannot be simply determined by the nature of the Hamiltonian (elliptic or hyperbolic, etc.). For a Hamiltonian with a definite nature, the motion can change from one pattern to another, that is, some kind of phase transition may occur, if some parameter in the Hamiltonian goes through some critical value.

Geometric Phases, Symmetries of Dynamical Invariants, and Exact Solution of the Schrödinger Equation

We introduce the notion of the geometrically equivalent quantum systems (GEQS) as quantum systems that lead to the same geometric phases for a given complete set of initial state vectors. We give a characterization of the GEQS. These systems have a common dynamical invariant, and their Hamiltonians and evolution operators are related by symmetry transformations of the invariant. If the invariant is T-periodic, the corresponding class of GEQS includes a system with a T-periodic Hamiltonian. We apply our general results to study the classes of GEQS that include a system with a cranked Hamiltonian H(t) = e −iKt H0e iKt. We show that the cranking operator K also belongs to this class. Hence, in spite of the fact that it is time-independent, it leads to nontrivial cyclic evolutions and geometric phases. Our analysis allows for an explicit construction of a complete set of nonstationary cyclic states of any time-independent simple harmonic oscillator. The period of these cyclic states is half the characteristic period of the oscillator. PACS numbers: 03.65.Bz 1

COHERENT STATES AND GEOMETRIC PHASES IN THE CALOGERO–SUTHERLAND MODEL

Dae-Yup Song, JeongHyeong Park

Exact coherent states in the Calogero–Sutherland models (of time-dependent parameters) which describe identical harmonic oscillators interacting through inverse-square potentials are constructed, in terms of the classical solutions of a harmonic oscillator. For quasi-periodic coherent states of the time-periodic systems, geometric phases are evaluated. For the AN-1 Calogero–Sutherland model, the phase is calculated for a general coherent state. The phases for other models are also considered.

Geometric phases, symmetries of dynamical invariants and exact solution of the Schrödinger equation

Ali Mostafazadeh

We introduce the notion of the geometrically equivalent quantum systems (GEQSs) as quantum systems that lead to the same geometric phases for a given complete set of initial state vectors. We give a characterization of the GEQSs. These systems have a common dynamical invariant, and their Hamiltonians and evolution operators are related by symmetry transformations of the invariant. If the invariant is T -periodic, the corresponding class of GEQSs includes a system with a T -periodic Hamiltonian. We apply our general results to study the classes of GEQSs that include a system with a cranked Hamiltonian H ( t ) = e -i Kt H 0 e i Kt . We show that the cranking operator K also belongs to this class. Hence, in spite of the fact that it is time independent, it leads to nontrivial cyclic evolutions and geometric phases. Our analysis allows for an explicit construction of a complete set of nonstationary cyclic states of any time-independent simple harmonic oscillator. The period of these cyclic states is half the characteristic period of the oscillator.

Harmonic Oscillator SUSY Partners and Evolution Loops

David J. Fernández C.

Supersymmetric quantum mechanics is a powerful tool for generating exactly solvable potentials departing from a given initial one.If applied to the harmonic oscillator, a family of Hamiltonians ruled by polynomial Heisenberg algebras is obtained.In this paper it will be shown that the SUSY partner Hamiltonians of the harmonic oscillator can produce evolution loops.The corresponding geometric phases will be as well studied.
