The exact solutions of the Schrodinger equation for damped harmonic oscillator with pulsating mass and modified Caldirola-Kanai Hamiltonian are evaluated. We also investigated the case of under-damped for the two models constructed and the results obtained in both cases do not violate Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

There are discussed the exact solution of the time--dependent Schrödinger equation for a damped quantum oscillator subject to a periodical frequency delta--kicks describing squeezed states which are expressed in terms of Chebyshev polynomials. The cases of strong and weak damping are investigated in the frame of Caldirola--Kanai model.

Quantum mechanics of the damped pulsating oscillator

M. Sebawe Abdalla, Ursula A.T. Ramjit

A harmonic oscillator subject to the combined effects of damping and pulsating is represented by a Kanai–Caldirola Hamiltonian. The equations of motion are solved in the Heisenberg picture in the case of weak pulsation. The rotating-wave approximation (RWA) is used to obtain the motion in the neighborhood of the principal resonance. The RWA Schrödinger equation is solved exactly and pseudostationary and quasicoherent states are described. The transition probability between quasicoherent and coherent states is obtained and the gain in energy is discussed.
