Comment on ‘Solving the two-mode squeezed harmonic oscillator and thekth-order harmonic generation in Bargmann–Hilbert spaces’

Abstract

Recently Zhang (2013 J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 46 455302) proposed an analytical approach to solve the time-independent Schrödinger equation for the single-mode and two-mode squeezed harmonic oscillators in the Bargmann space of entire functions. In this comment we show that the eigenfunctions of these two systems exist in closed form and are expressed in terms of the Hermite polynomials. Moreover, since both oscillators exhibit the SU(1,1) dynamical symmetry, the eigenvalue problem can be tackled in a unified manner. In the Hilbert space of analytic functions of a complex variable in the unit disc, the energy eigenvalue equations involve first-order ordinary differential equations only, so we can easily solve these equations to obtain simple closed-form solutions.

Solving the two-mode squeezed harmonic oscillator and thekth-order harmonic generation in Bargmann–Hilbert spaces

Yao-Zhong Zhang

We analyze the two-mode squeezed harmonic oscillator and the k th-order harmonic generation within the framework of Bargmann–Hilbert spaces of entire functions. For displaced single-mode squeezed and two-mode squeezed harmonic oscillators, we derive exact closed-form expressions for their energies and wave functions. For the k th-order harmonic generation with k ⩾ 3, our result indicates that it does not have eigenfunctions and is thus ill-defined in the Bargmann–Hilbert space.

Squeezed states and Hermite polynomials in a complex variable

S. Twareque Ali, K. Górska, A. Horzela +1 more

Following the lines of the recent paper of J.-P. Gazeau and F. H. Szafraniec [J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 44, 495201 (2011)], we construct here three types of coherent states, related to the Hermite polynomials in a complex variable which are orthogonal with respect to a non-rotationally invariant measure. We investigate relations between these coherent states and obtain the relationship between them and the squeezed states of quantum optics. We also obtain a second realization of the canonical coherent states in the Bargmann space of analytic functions, in terms of a squeezed basis. All this is done in the flavor of the classical approach of V. Bargmann [Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 14, 187 (1961)].

Eigenenergy values and Eigenfunctions of one-dimensional quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator

Rohit Gupta, Dinesh Verma

Quantum mechanics is one of the branches of physics. In this mechanics, physical problems are solved by algebraic and analytic methods. By applying a simple procedure we can find the general solutions of Schrodinger’s time - independent wave equation of one dimensional quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator without making any approximation. In this paper, we will discuss the Eigenenergy values and Eigenfunctions of one of the most important physical models of quantum mechanics, namely the one-dimensional Quantum mechanical Harmonic Oscillator by modifying the Hermite differential equation.

Solution of the Cauchy problem for a time-dependent Schrödinger equation

Maria Meiler, Ricardo Cordero–Soto, Sergeĭ K. Suslov

We construct an explicit solution of the Cauchy initial value problem for the n-dimensional Schrödinger equation with certain time-dependent Hamiltonian operator of a modified oscillator. The dynamical SU(1,1) symmetry of the harmonic oscillator wave functions, Bargmann’s functions for the discrete positive series of the irreducible representations of this group, the Fourier integral of a weighted product of the Meixner–Pollaczek polynomials, a Hankel-type integral transform, and the hyperspherical harmonics are utilized in order to derive the corresponding Green function. It is then generalized to a case of the forced modified oscillator. The propagators for two models of the relativistic oscillator are also found. An expansion formula of a plane wave in terms of the hyperspherical harmonics and solution of certain infinite system of ordinary differential equations are derived as by-products.

Response to “Comment on ‘Quantization of the damped harmonic oscillator’” [J. Math. Phys. 60, 094101 (2019)]

M. Serhan, M. Abusini, Ahmed Al-Jamel +2 more

This is a response to a recently reported comment [F. M. Fernández, J. Math. Phys. 60, 094101 (2019)] on paper [M. Serhan et al., J. Math. Phys. 59, 082105 (2018)] regarding the quantization of the damped harmonic oscillator using a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian with real energy eigenvalues. We assert here that the calculation of Eq. (29) of Serhan et al. [J. Math. Phys. 59, 082105 (2018)] is incorrect, and thus the subsequent steps via the Nikiforov-Uvarov method are affected, and the energy eigenvalues should have been complex. However, we show here that the Hermiticity of the Hamiltonian should be first achieved to make the correct transition from classical Hamiltonian to quantum counterpart, and this can be reached using the symmetrization rule. The canonical quantization on the resulted Hermitian Hamiltonian yields the real energy eigenvalues as exactly given by Eq. (35) of Serhan et al. [J. Math. Phys. 59, 082105 (2018)].
