Squeezing in the Schrodinger picture: normal ordering technique to solve the mass-varying oscillator
A. L. De Brito, B. Baseia
Recent papers by Cheng and Fung (1988) and Lo (1990) have studied the generation of squeezed states out of coherent states in systems described by some time-dependent Hamiltonians. They have employed the evolution operator method for the Schrodinger equation with a Hamiltonian expressible as H(t)=a l (t)J + +a 2 (t)J 0 + +a 3 (t)J - , where J +- ,J 0 are the SU(2) group generators. Here, for the sake of comparison of methods and results, the present authors employ the normal ordered Hamiltonian H(t)= Sigma h l,m (t)(a) l a m and investigate squeezing through an alternative approach using the normal ordering technique to solve the evolution operator for the same system.
