A general scheme for the construction of minimum uncertainty coherent states of anharmonic oscillators

Abstract

A mixed supersymmetric–algebraic approach to the construction of the minimum uncertainty coherent states of anharmonic oscillators is presented. It permits generating not only the well-known coherent states of the harmonic and Morse oscillators but also the so far unknown coherent states of the Wei Hua and generalized Morse and Kratzer–Fues oscillators. The method can be applied to generate superpotentials indispensable for deriving the Schrödinger equation in the supersymmetric form amenable to direct solution in the SUSYQM scheme.

Minimum-uncertainty coherent states of the hyperbolic and trigonometric Rosen–Morse oscillators

Marcin Molski

Abstract A mixed supersymmetric-algebraic approach is employed to generate the minimum uncertainty coherent states of the hyperbolic and trigonometric Rosen–Morse oscillators. The method proposed produces the superpotentials, ground state eigenfunctions and associated eigenvalues as well as the Schrödinger equation in the factorized form amenable to direct treatment in the algebraic or supersymmetric scheme. In the standard approach the superpotentials are calculated by solution of the Riccati equation for the given form of potential energy function or by differentiation of the ground state eigenfunction. The procedure applied is general and permits derivation the exact analytical solutions and coherent states for the most important model oscillators employed in molecular quantum chemistry, coherent spectroscopy (femtochemistry) and coherent nonlinear optics.

A simple algebraic approach to coherent states for the Morse oscillator

Ian L. Cooper

Minimum uncertainty coherent states and annihilation operator coherent states for the Morse oscillator are derived and shown to be equivalent. They reduce, in the limit of small anharmonicity constant, or, equivalently, in the limit of large well depth, to the approximate coherent states derived previously from the use of generalized displacement operator.

New system-specific coherent states for bound state calculations

Chia‐Chun Chou, Mason Biamonte, Bernhard G. Bodmann +1 more

System-specific coherent states are constructed based on the formulation of supersymmetric quantum mechanics for arbitrary quantum systems. By regarding the superpotential as a generalized displacement variable, we identity the ground state of a quantum system as the minimizer of the supersymmetric Heisenberg uncertainty product. A special case is the ground state of the standard harmonic oscillator. One constructs standard coherent states by applying a shift operator to a 'fiducial function', taken as the ground state Gaussian. By analogy, we use the ground state for any other system as a new fiducial function, generating from its shifts new dynamically-adapted, overcomplete coherent states. The discretized system-specific coherent states can serve as a dynamically-adapted basis for bound state calculations. Accurate computational results for the Morse potential, the double well potential and the two-dimensional anharmonic oscillator systems demonstrate that the system-specific coherent states can provide rapidly-converging approximations for excited state energies and wave functions.

The construction of ladder operators and coherent states for the Wei Hua anharmonic oscillator using the supersymmetric quantum mechanics

Damian Mikulski, Marcin Molski, Jerzy Konarski +1 more

The unknown ladder operators for the Wei Hua potential have been derived within the algebraic approach. The method is extended to include the rotating oscillator. The annihilation and creation operators have been obtained with the use of the factorization method. The coherent states for the Wei Hua anharmonic oscillator, which are eigenstates of the annihilation operator and minimize the generalized position-momentum uncertainty relation, are constructed in the framework of the supersymmetric quantum mechanics. The constructed ladder operators can be applied to compute the matrix elements in theoretical spectroscopy due to the fact that this potential is widely used to a proper description the large-amplitude vibrations of diatomic molecules.

Coherent states of the Kratzer-Fues oscillator

Marcin Molski

The coherent states for the Kratzer-Fues potential, which are eigenstates of the annihilation operator and minimize the generalized position-momentum uncertainty relation, are constructed using the algebraic approach. The method is extended to include the rotating Kratzer-Fues oscillator. Construction of such states is important in the theory of molecular interactions with coherent electromagnetic fields, for example, in calculation of the dynamic alternation of the refractive index due to the interactions of the laser pulse with the coherent vibration-rotational states of the diatomic molecule.
