Abstract

Two-dimensional quantum square wells and rectangular billiards with commensurate sides are simple systems which exhibit accidental degeneracies. We show that a recent analysis for square wells can be similarly applied to rectangular wells with commensurate sides.

Degeneracy in the particle-in-a-box problem

G B Shaw

The notions of systematic and accidental degeneracy are discussed for a quantum-mechanical particle in a two-dimensional box. Separability of coordinates is shown to admit extra systematic degeneracy over that expected from the point-group symmetry. The 'accidental' degeneracy for square and triangular boxes is discussed in detail and related to geometric symmetries-described by rings of operators, however, and not by a symmetry group.

Quantum Degeneracy in Two Dimensional Systems

Debnarayan Jana

Degeneracy is an important concept in physics and chemistry. Degeneracy and symmetry are closely connected. We distinguish between two types of degeneracy - symmetric or systematic and accidental one. In this paper, we illustrate the concept of degeneracy through some two dimensional quantum mechanical problems. We have also indicated the breaking of the degeneracy by suitable application of perturbing potentials.

Symmetry group of a particle in an impenetrable cubic well potential

Ariatna Hernández-Castillo, R. Lemus

A quantum particle in a impenetrable cubic well potential presents accidental degeneracy when the group is considered to be the symmetry group of the system. This degeneracy becomes natural when a new symmetry group, embedding the group, is proposed. This new group turns out to be the semidirect product , where is a two-dimensional compact continuous group whose generators correspond to linear combinations of the one-dimensional Hamiltonians. The systematic degeneracy is studied in detail, the new group is identified and its irreducible representations (irreps) are constructed by means of induction, an approach that allows the irreducibility and completeness to be assured. Pythagorean degeneracy as well as the one due to commensurable sides are not considered.

The theory of accidental degeneracy is surveyed, particular attention being paid to the connection between the accidental degeneracy of the two-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator and the theory of angular momentum.

From quantum spectra to classical orbits: the rectangular billiards

Jun Lu, Du Meng-Li, 中国科学院理论物理研究所，北京 100080

A new quantum spectrum function is defined using the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the system considered. We study the two-dimensional rectangular billiard,and find that the Fourier transform of the spectrum function reveals the classical orbits from one point to another.
