TIME-DEPENDENT WIGNER DISTRIBUTION FUNCTION EMPLOYED IN SQUEEZED SCHRÖDINGER CAT STATES: |Ψ(t)〉 = N-1/2(|β〉+eiϕ|-β〉)

Jeong Ryeol Choi, Kyu Hwang Yeon

The Wigner distribution function (WDF) for the time-dependent quadratic Hamiltonian system is investigated in the squeezed Schrödinger cat states with the use of Lewis–Riesenfeld theory of invariants. The nonclassical aspects of the system produced by superposition of two distinct squeezed states are analyzed with emphasis on their application into special systems beyond simple harmonic oscillator. An application of our development to the measurement of quantum state by reconstructing the WDF via Autler–Townes spectroscopy is addressed. In addition, we considered particular models such as Cadirola–Kanai oscillator, frequency stable damped harmonic oscillator, and harmonic oscillator with time-variable frequency as practical applications with the object of promoting the understanding of nonclassical effects associated with the WDF.

Time-dependent C -operators as Lewis-Riesenfeld invariants in non-Hermitian theories

Andreas Fring, Takano Taira, Rebecca Tenney

C -operators were introduced as involution operators in non-Hermitian theories that commute with the time-independent Hamiltonians and the parity/time-reversal operator. Here we propose a definition for time-dependent C ( t ) -operators and demonstrate that for a particular signature they may be expanded in terms of time-dependent biorthonormal left and right eigenvectors of Lewis-Riesenfeld invariants. The vanishing commutation relation between the C -operator and the Hamiltonian in the time-independent case is replaced by the Lewis-Riesenfeld equation in the time-dependent scenario. Thus, C ( t ) -operators are always Lewis-Riesenfeld invariants, whereas the inverse is only true in certain circumstances. We demonstrate the working of the generalities for a non-Hermitian two-level matrix Hamiltonian. We show that solutions for C ( t ) and the time-dependent metric operator may be found that hold in all three PT -regimes, i.e., the PT -regime, the spontaneously broken PT -regime and at the exceptional point.

Solutions of the Schrödinger equation for the time-dependent linear potential

Jian Qi Shen

By making use of the Lewis-Riesenfeld invariant theory, the solution of the Schrödinger equation for the time-dependent linear potential corresponding to the quadratic-form Lewis-Riesenfeld invariant $I_{\rm q}(t)$ is obtained in the present paper. It is emphasized that in order to obtain the general solutions of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, one should first find the complete set of Lewis-Riesenfeld invariants. For the present quantum system with a time-dependent linear potential, the linear $I_{\rm l}(t)$ and quadratic $I_{\rm q}(t)$ (where the latter $I_{\rm q}(t)$ cannot be written as the squared of the former $I_{\rm l}(t)$, {\it i.e.}, the relation $I_{\rm q}(t)= cI_{\rm l}^{2}(t)$ does not hold true always) will form a complete set of Lewis-Riesenfeld invariants. It is also shown that the solution obtained by Bekkar {\it et al.} more recently is the one corresponding to the linear $I_{\rm l}(t)$, one of the invariants that form the complete set. In addition, we discuss some related topics regarding the comment [Phys. Rev. A {\bf 68}, 016101 (2003)] of Bekkar {\it et al.} on Guedes's work [Phys. Rev. A {\bf 63}, 034102 (2001)] and Guedes's corresponding reply [Phys. Rev. A {\bf 68}, 016102 (2003)].

By making use of the Lewis-Riesenfeld invariant theory, the solution of the Schrödinger equation for the time-dependent linear potential corresponding to the quadratic-form Lewis-Riesenfeld invariant Iq(t)I_{\rm q}(t)Iq​(t) is obtained in the present paper. It is emphasized that in order to obtain the general solutions of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, one should first find the complete set of Lewis-Riesenfeld invariants. For the present quantum system with a time-dependent linear potential, the linear Il(t)I_{\rm l}(t)Il​(t) and quadratic Iq(t)I_{\rm q}(t)Iq​(t) (where the latter Iq(t)I_{\rm q}(t)Iq​(t) cannot be written as the squared of the former Il(t)I_{\rm l}(t)Il​(t), {\it i.e.}, the relation Iq(t)=cIl2(t)I_{\rm q}(t)= cI_{\rm l}^{2}(t)Iq​(t)=cIl2​(t) does not hold true always) will form a complete set of Lewis-Riesenfeld invariants. It is also shown that the solution obtained by Bekkar {\it et al.} more recently is the one corresponding to the linear Il(t)I_{\rm l}(t)Il​(t), one of the invariants that form the complete set.
