On the construction of state spaces for classical dynamical systems with a time-dependent Hamilton function

Abstract

The damped linear and the forced harmonic oscillator are used as standard examples for a dynamical system with a time-dependent Hamilton function to investigate the problem of constructing a Hilbert state space and evolution operators in this space.

Note on the time-dependent damped and forced harmonic oscillator

P. G. L. Leach

A Hamiltonian for the time-dependent damped and forced harmonic oscillator is derived. A simple time-dependent linear canonical transformation transforms the Hamiltonian to one whose solution is readily obtained. The wave function for the corresponding quantum mechanical problem is given.

Harmonic and Isotropic Oscillators

K. Kong Wan

Harmonic oscillators are important in physical applications and in demonstrating the working of the postulates of quantum formalism. A classical harmonic oscillator has a state space, i.e., its phase space, coordinated by the oscillator’s position x and momentum p . Observables correspond to real-valued functions on the state space. The evolution of the state is determined by Hamilton’s equations, which reduce to Eq. (27.12) . The time dependence of the state automatically determines the time dependence of observables.

Quasi-coherent states for damped and forced harmonic oscillator

Mustafa Dernek, Nuri Ünal

In this study, first we construct the quasi-coherent states for a damped and forced harmonic oscillator and discuss the transition of the system from the damped oscillations to forced steady state oscillations. Second, we generalize the Caldirola-Kanai Hamiltonian into the new systems such as the frequency and the mass parameters are time dependent and discuss three examples of them.

The quantum mechanical linearly damped forced oscillator

Leon F. Landovitz, Alfred M. Levine, E. Ozizmir +1 more

The solution is obtained to the quantum mechanical linearly damped harmonic oscillator subjected to a time dependent driving force. This solution allows the calculation of interesting quantum quantities such as the Green’s function and the transition amplitudes between harmonic oscillator states. The specific results for a harmonic driving force are given.

Models of damped oscillators in quantum mechanics

Ricardo Cordero–Soto, Erwin Suazo, Sergeĭ K. Suslov

We consider several models of the damped oscillators in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics in a framework of a general approach to the dynamics of the time-dependent Schroedinger equation with variable quadratic Hamiltonians. The Green functions are explicitly found in terms of elementary functions and the corresponding gauge transformations are discussed. The factorization technique is applied to the case of a shifted harmonic oscillator. The time-evolution of the expectation values of the energy related operators is determined for two models of the quantum damped oscillators under consideration. The classical equations of motion for the damped oscillations are derived for the corresponding expectation values of the position operator.
