Algebraic discrete quantum harmonic oscillator with dynamic resolution scaling

Michael Q. May, Hong Qin

Abstract We develop an algebraic formulation for the discrete quantum harmonic oscillator (DQHO) from the Hamiltonian for two, coupled QHOs and provide a physical picture for the Kravchuk function eigenstates of the oscillator. The familiar su ( 2 ) structure of the coupled QHO Hamiltonian divides its spectrum into sets corresponding to the DQHO at different resolutions. In addition to energy ladder operators, the formulation allows for the introduction of resolution ladder operators connecting all DQHOs with different resolutions, thus enabling the dynamic scaling of the resolution of finite degree-of-freedom quantum simulations. The coherent state of the DQHO is constructed, and its expected position is proven to oscillate as a classical harmonic oscillator. The DQHO coherent state recovers that of the quantum harmonic oscillator at large resolution.

Vortex structure of quantum eigenstates and classical periodic orbits in two-dimensional harmonic oscillators

Y. F. Chen, Kuan‐Chih Huang

The connection between the wavefunctions and the classical periodic orbits in a 2D harmonic oscillator is analytically constructed by using the representation of SU (2) coherent states. It is found that the constructed wavefunction generally corresponds to an ensemble of classical trajectories and its localization is extremely efficient. With the constructed wavefunction, we also analyse the property of the probability current density associated with the classical periodic orbit. The appearance of vortex structure in the quantum flow is clearly found to arise from the wave interference.
