On the quantum mechanical propagator for driven coupled harmonic oscillators

ALVARO DE SOUZA DUTRA

The exact propagator beyond and at caustics for a pair of coupled and driven oscillators with different frequencies and masses is calculated using the path-integral approach. The exact wavefunctions and energies are also presented. Finally the propagator is re-calculated through an alternative method, using the zeta -function.

Exact evaluation of the propagator beyond and at caustics for a charged particle in a constant magnetic field

Bin Kang Cheng

It is first shown that the propagator of a charged particle in a constant external magnetic field is related to the propagator of a one-dimensional driven harmonic oscillator with memory. The memory term can be removed by introducing the auxiliary force term and then by integrating it out. By using this new formula for a driven harmonic oscillator, a generalization of Horv\'athy-Feynman formula, we finally evaluate exactly the propagator beyond and at caustics of our dynamical system.
