QUANTUM TREATMENT OF TIME DEPENDENT COUPLED OSCILLATORS

M. Sebawe Abdalla

Published Jul 30, 2002• 21 citations
Publisher

Abstract

In this paper we consider the most quadratic time dependent Hamiltonian. An exact solution of the wave function in both the Schrödinger picture and coherent states representation is given. Linear and quadratic invariants are discussed. The eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenfunctions are obtained. The expectation values for the energy are also given.

WAVE FUNCTIONS OF TIME-DEPENDENT TWO COUPLED OSCILLATORS BY LEWIS–RIESENFELD METHOD

Hong-Yi Fan, Zhonghua Jiang

For the two time-dependent coupled oscillators model we derive its time-dependent invariant in the context of Lewis–Riesenfeld invariant operator theory. It is based on the general solutions to the Schrödinger equation which is obtained and turns out to be the superposition of the generalized atomic coherent states in the Schwinger bosonic realization. The energy eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the corresponding time-independent Hamiltonian are also obtained as a by-product.

Exact time dependence of solutions to the time-dependent Schrödinger equation

Max A. Lohe

Solutions of the Schrödinger equation with an exact time dependence are derived as eigenfunctions of dynamical invariants which are constructed from time-independent operators using time-dependent unitary transformations. Exact solutions and a closed form expression for the corresponding time evolution operator are found for a wide range of time-dependent Hamiltonians in d dimensions, including non-Hermitean -symmetric Hamiltonians. Hamiltonians are constructed using time-dependent unitary spatial transformations comprising dilatations, translations and rotations and solutions are found in several forms: as eigenfunctions of a quadratic invariant, as coherent state eigenfunctions of boson operators, as plane wave solutions from which the general solution is obtained as an integral transform by means of the Fourier transform, and as distributional solutions for which the initial wavefunction is the Dirac δ-function. For the isotropic harmonic oscillator in d dimensions radial solutions are found which extend known results for d = 1, including Barut–Girardello and Perelomov coherent states (i.e., vector coherent states), which are shown to be related to eigenfunctions of the quadratic invariant by the ζ-transformation. This transformation, which leaves the Ermakov equation invariant, implements SU(1, 1) transformations on linear dynamical invariants. coherent states are derived also for the time-dependent linear potential. Exact solutions are found for Hamiltonians with electromagnetic interactions in which the time-dependent magnetic and electric fields are not necessarily spatially uniform. As an example, it is shown how to find exact solutions of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for the Dirac magnetic monopole in the presence of time-dependent magnetic and electric fields of a specified form.

Quantum Dynamics

Uri Peskin

Explicitly time-dependent Hamiltonians are ubiquitous in applications of quantum theory. It is therefore necessary to solve the time-dependent Schrödinger equation directly. The system’s dynamics is associated with a unitary time-evolution operator (a propagator), formally given as an infinite Dyson series. Time-dependent observables are invariant under unitary time-dependent transformations, where it is sometimes useful to transform the time-evolution from the states into the corresponding operators. This is carried out in part (in full) by transforming to the interaction (Heisenberg) picture. The corresponding equations of motion for the time-dependent operators are introduced. For quadratic potential energy functions, the time evolution of quantum expectation values coincides with the corresponding classical dynamics. This is demonstrated and analyzed in detail for Gaussian wave packets and a coherent state. Finally, we derive exact and approximate expressions for time-dependent transition probabilities and transition rates between quantum states. The validity of time-dependent perturbation theory is analyzed by comparison to exact dynamics.

Exact quantum theory of a time-dependent bound quadratic Hamiltonian system

Kyu Hwang Yeon, Kang Ku Lee, Chung‐In Um +2 more

Using the path-integral method, the propagator, the wave function, and the expectation values are evaluated explicitly for a time-dependent bound quadratic Hamiltonian system. We also have derived the relation between the wave function and a dynamical invariant which determines whether or not the system is bound. The expectation value of the quantum-mechanical invariant obeys the uncertainty relation with an auxiliary condition as the solution of the classical equation of the system.

COMPLETE EXACT QUANTUM STATES OF THE GENERALIZED TIME-DEPENDENT HARMONIC OSCILLATOR

I. A. Pedrosa

By making use of linear and quadratic invariants and the invariant operator formulation of Lewis and Riesenfeld, the complete exact solutions of the Schrödinger equation for the generalized time-dependent harmonic oscillator are obtained. It is shown that the general solution of the system under consideration contains both the discrete and continuous spectrum. The connection between linear and quadratic invariants and their corresponding eigenstates via time-dependent auxiliary equations is also established.
