Abstract

Using the Caldirola-Kanai Hamiltonian for the damped harmonic oscillator, exact coherent states are constructed. These new coherent states satisfy the properties which coherent states should generally have.

Coherent states for the time-dependent harmonic oscillator

John G. Hartley, John R. Ray

Exact coherent states for the time-dependent harmonic oscillator are constructed. These new coherent states have most, but not all, of the properties of the coherent states for the time-independent oscillator. For example, these coherent states give the exact classical motion, but they are not minimum-uncertainty states.

Quasi-coherent states for damped and forced harmonic oscillator

Mustafa Dernek, Nuri Ünal

In this study, first we construct the quasi-coherent states for a damped and forced harmonic oscillator and discuss the transition of the system from the damped oscillations to forced steady state oscillations. Second, we generalize the Caldirola-Kanai Hamiltonian into the new systems such as the frequency and the mass parameters are time dependent and discuss three examples of them.
