A q-deformed harmonic oscillator (q-HO) in a finite-dimensional Hilbert space (FDHS) is presented. Some basic characteristics of the q-HO in the FDHS is discussed. It is found that the quantum algebra su q (1,1) can be realized in terms of the q-HO in the FDHS on the root of unit.
The energy level structure of the q deformed harmonic oscillator in a finite dimensional Hilbert space is studied.The Coherent states of the q deformed harmonic oscillator in a finite dimensional Hilbert space are constructed.It is shown that the energy level structure and the dynamic action are very different from that of usual harmonic oscillator due to the finiteness of the dimension of Hilbert space and the deformation parameter′s influence,and the coherent states are different from the Glauber coherent states.
The possibility of q-deformation of known exactly solvable quantum mechanical models is considered via the dynamical symmetry of the radial problem. The algebraic structure of the D-dimensional simple harmonic oscillator is analysed from this point of view. In the two-dimensional case, q-deformed bosons are introduced for the radial degrees of freedom, which together with the standard angular operators yield the so(2)(+)so q (2,1) dynamical algebra. The corresponding Hilbert space is identified and possible q-deformed Hamiltonians described.
