Abstract

In this paper, we study the time evolution of the squeezed states and high- n squeezed states of the generalized time-dependent harmonic oscillator and show how the minimum uncertainty relation can be preserved during the time evolution.

SQUEEZED STATES AND SQUEEZED-COHERENTSTATES OF THE GENERALIZED QUADRATICTIME-DEPENDENT HARMONICOSCILLATOR

U Yl

The problem of time evolution and squeezed states of the generalized quadratic time-dependent harmonic oscillator is studied by making use of the time-evolution operator approach. Then, the squeezed states and high-n squeezed states of the driven harmonic oscillator with strongly pulsating mass are constructed. Finally, we show how the squeezed-coherent states and high-n squeezed-coherent states, which preserve the minimum uncertainty codition, can be generated.

New quantum squeezed states for the time-dependent harmonic oscillator

Antonio Boulhosa Nassar

New generalized squeezed states for the time-dependent harmonic oscillator are found through the theory of invariants. Our method gives a comparatively clearer picture than methods using evolution operators because we can establish a direct connection between the classical and quantum solutions. The additional significance of our method is that it is possible to find new generalized quantum squeezed states from just one particular solution to the classical time-dependent oscillator. Accordingly, more general results for the variance of x (squared uncertainty) are found for the cases of linear sweep of the restoring force and compared to recent results encountered in the literature.

Relation of squeezed states between damped harmonic and simple harmonic oscillators

Chung‐In Um, Kyu-Hwang Yeon, Thomas F. George +1 more

The minimum uncertainty and other relations are evaluated in the framework of the coherent states of the damped harmonic oscillator. It is shown that the coherent states of the damped harmonic oscillator are the squeezed coherent states of the simple harmonic oscillator. The unitary operator is also constructed, and this connects coherent states with damped harmonic and simple harmonic oscillators.

Time evolution of minimum uncertainty states of a harmonic oscillator

H. A. Gersch

A single closed-form expression is obtained for the probability amplitude ψ(x,t) for a harmonic oscillator whose initial state ψ(x,0) has a minimum value for the uncertainty product of position x and momentum p, Δx Δp=ℏ/2. This form describes both coherent and squeezed states. Oscillations in time for uncertainties in position and momentum, characteristic of squeezed states, are shown to follow directly from the derived form of ψ(x,t) and from Heisenberg equations of motion for operators x̂ and p̂. Expressions for average photon number and its uncertainty are obtained from calculations of average oscillator energy and fluctuations about this energy.

How does a squeezed state of a general driven time-dependent oscillator evolve?

Chi‐Fai Lo

In this paper we examine the time evolution of a squeezed state of the general driven time-dependent oscillator. Our analysis indicate that the wave function of the time-dependent oscillator starts as a squeezed state at t = 0 and remains as a squeezed state at a later time, and that the time evolution is just a "squeezing" process. So the general driven time-dependent oscillator preserves squeezed states for all time.

GENERALIZED SQUEEZED STATES FROM GENERALIZED COHERENT STATES

Michael Martin Nieto

Both the coherent states and also the squeezed states of the harmonic oscillator have long been understood from the three classical points of view: the 1) displacement operator, 2) annihilation- (or ladder-) operator, and minimum-uncertainty methods. For general systems, there is the same understanding except for ladder-operator and displacement-operator squeezed states. After reviewing the known concepts, I propose a method for obtaining generalized minimum-uncertainty squeezed states, give examples, and relate it to known concepts. I comment on the remaining concept, that of general displacement-operator squeezed states.
