On the energy levels of an isotropic anharmonic oscillator

M. Lakshmanan, P. Kaliappan

Published Sep 1, 1980• 12 citations
Publisher

Abstract

An approximate implicit energy level expression is obtained for a spherically symmetric anharmonic oscillator with three degrees of freedom, by using a semi-classical, WKB type Bohr-Sommerfeld quantisation rule.

The Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization rule and the Weyl correspondence

Petros N. Argyres

With the use of the Weyl correspondence between quantum mechanical operators and classical dynamical functions, an exact quantization rule is derived for a system with one degree of freedom and arbitrary Hamiltonian. In the semiclassical limit of small Planck's constant, this reduces to the Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization rule as derived by the WKB approximation. Higher order terms are also derived. It is further proven that for a simple harmonic oscillator the Bohr-Sommerfeld rule must give the exact energy eigenvalues for all states.

WKB approximate energy levels for several two-dimensional systems

Qiong-Gui Lin

The WKB approximation method in two dimensions is discussed and the Bohr Sommerfeld quantization rule is given. Bound state energy levels are calculated for several systems with central potential and ones with both central potential and Aharonov Bohm potential.

A pair of coupled quantum anharmonic oscillators

Francis R. Halpern

The energy levels of a pair of coupled anharmonic oscillators are studied. The technique employed is to find two approximately canonical coordinate momentum pairs. Particular emphasis is placed on the qualitative dependence of the coordinate and momentum operators on the quantum numbers.

Old quantum mechanics and perturbation theory

Jean Sivardière, Élie Belorizky

Two physical systems—the particle in a double rectangular well and the anharmonic oscillator—are treated in the Bohr–Sommerfeld–Wilson semiclassical theory. The results agree with the Van Vleck perturbation theory.
