Abstract

Recent papers [A. Bechler, Phys. Lett. A 130, 481 (1988); M. S. Abdalla, Phys. Rev. A 44, 2040 (1991)] investigate the generation of squeezing for a charged oscillator in a constant and uniform magnetic field. Here we pursue further this line by investigating the extended system of a charged particle oscillating in a uniform and arbitrary time-dependent magnetic field. Since we do not particularize the functional time dependence, our expressions for the variances of quadratures are quite general, so the possible occurrence and amount of squeezing will depend on that specification. The corresponding results mentioned above become a particularization of ours.

Statistical properties of a charged oscillator in the presence of a time-dependent electromagnetic field

The statistical properties of a charged oscillator in the presence of a uniform magnetic field are investigated for the case of a time-dependent electromagnetic field. Quite general results are obtained when the time dependence of the external field is not specified. As an example, an oscillating external field is considered. It is found that, depending upon the parameters, this system can show many nonclassical features, such as sub-Poissonian statistics and squeezing.

WAVE FUNCTION OF THE PARTICLE TRAPPED BY OSCILLATING FIELDS

CELIA M. A. DANTAS, Vanderlei Salvador Bagnato, B. Baseia

In a previous paper [Quantum Opt.5, 155 (1993)] we have employed a recent model by Glauber for particle trapping by oscillating fields to investigate the occurrence of the squeezing effect for this system. Here we construct a linear time-dependent invariant which allows us to obtain the wave function of the system. The treatment is general for a class of time-dependent Hamiltonian, the application to our previous work being a particularization of the present procedure.

Particle trapping by oscillating fields: regions of instability in quantum fluctuations

B. Baseia, CELIA M. A. DANTAS, Vanderlei Salvador Bagnato +1 more

In a previous paper (ibid. vol.5, p.155, 1993), we studied squeezing of mechanical motion for a particle trapped in oscillating fields. We considered a model proposed by Glauber and time-dependent transformations to show that the system may exhibit quantum fluctuations below the shot noise level. Here we pursue this investigation to discuss the regions of instability, where for a certain range of parameters, variance of quadrature phase amplitudes continues to grow with time.

THE QUADRATIC TIME-DEPENDENT HAMILTONIAN: EVOLUTION OPERATOR, SQUEEZING REGIONS IN PHASE SPACE AND TRAJECTORIES

Salomon Sylvain Mizrahi, M. H. Y. Moussa, B. Baseia

We consider the most general Time-Dependent (TD) quadratic Hamiltonian written in terms of the bosonic operators a and a + , which may represent either a charged particle subjected to a harmonic motion, immersed in a TD uniform magnetic field, or a single mode photon field going through a squeezing medium. We solve the TD Schrödinger equation by a method that uses, sequentially, a TD unitary transformation and the diagonalization of a TD invariant, and we verify that the exact solution is a complete set of TD states. We also obtain the evolution operator which is essential to express operators in the Heisenberg picture. The variances of the quadratures are calculated and a phase space of parameters introduced, in which we identify squeezing regions. The results for some special cases are presented and as an illustrative example the parametric oscillator is revisited and the trajectories in phase space drawn.

Quantum Dynamics and Non-Inertial Frames of Reference. III: Charged Particle in Time-Dependent Uniform Electromagnetic Field

Shuji Takagi

By successive applications of time-dependent rotation, translation and dilatation, it is shown that a charged time-dependent harmonic oscillator in a uniform time-dependent electromagnetic field is equivalent to a free particle. This equivalence is employed to present a simple derivation of the Feynman kernel as well as to obtain a concrete picture of the time evolution of a generic wave packet. A compact formula for an evolving anisotropic Gaussian packet is also derived. A special case of this formula gives a squeezed coherent state for a harmonic oscillator whose frequency is an arbitrary function of time. Finally we discuss an Aharonov-Bohm-Berry-like phase associated with a wave packet whose center traces a closed circuit.

Statistical properties of a charged oscillator in the presence of a constant magnetic field

M. Sebawe Abdalla

From the quantum-optics point of view the problem of a charged particle in the presence of a constant magnetic field is presented. The photon numbers as well as bunching and antibunching are considered. Statistical investigations are carried out for the quasiprobability distribution function (Wigner function). The phenomenon of squeezing is also discussed.
