Quantum Theory of Damped Harmonic Oscillator

Abstract

The exact solutions of the Schrodinger equation for damped harmonic oscillator with pulsating mass and modified Caldirola-Kanai Hamiltonian are evaluated. We also investigated the case of under-damped for the two models constructed and the results obtained in both cases do not violate Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

Quantum mechanics of the damped pulsating oscillator

M. Sebawe Abdalla, Ursula A.T. Ramjit

A harmonic oscillator subject to the combined effects of damping and pulsating is represented by a Kanai–Caldirola Hamiltonian. The equations of motion are solved in the Heisenberg picture in the case of weak pulsation. The rotating-wave approximation (RWA) is used to obtain the motion in the neighborhood of the principal resonance. The RWA Schrödinger equation is solved exactly and pseudostationary and quasicoherent states are described. The transition probability between quasicoherent and coherent states is obtained and the gain in energy is discussed.

Exact evaluation of the propagator for the damped harmonic oscillator

Bin Kang Cheng

Using the Caldirola-Kanai Hamiltonian for the quantum dissipative system, the author expresses the propagator as the modified Feynman path integral in the configuration space, which can then be evaluated for the damped harmonic oscillator by Montroll's method. The propagator of the damped harmonic oscillator can also be calculated beyond and at caustics with the help of Horvathy-Feynman formula. The new results are confirmed by investigating the classical paths joining two fixed end-point positions, Finally the author obtains the time-dependent wavefunctions from the propagator of the dynamical system.

A damped harmonic oscillator in the GUP framework

Seyed Davood Sadatian

Harmonic oscillator is significantly important in quantum gravity for its dynamical properties. Dynamics of the harmonic oscillator can be modified by inserting a modified uncertainty relation considered in quantum cosmology models such as string theory and quantum loop gravity theory. In this paper, the equation of damped quantum harmonic oscillator has been solved with respect to the modified uncertainty relation and the effects of this modification have been probed in the case of the damped oscillating system.
