Abstract

We investigated the coherent states of nonconservative harmonic oscillator with a singular perturbation. The invariant operator represented in terms of lowering and raising operators. We confirmed that if the difference between two eigenvalues, α and β, of coherent states is much larger than unity, the states |α> and |β> are approximately orthogonal to each another. We calculated the expectation values of various quantities such as invariant operator, Hamiltonian and mechanical energy in coherent state. The mechanical energy of the system described by the Kanai–Caldirola Hamiltonian decreased exponentially depending on γ as time goes by in coherent state.

QUANTUM STATES WITH CONTINUOUS SPECTRUM FOR THE TIME-DEPENDENT HARMONIC OSCILLATOR WITH A SINGULAR PERTURBATION

Jeong Ryeol Choi, Jun‐Young Oh

The quantum states with continuous spectrum for the time-dependent harmonic oscillator perturbed by a singularity are investigated. This system does not oscillate while the system that has discrete energy eigenvalue does. Exact wave functions satisfying the Schrödinger equation for the system are derived using invariant operator and unitary operator together.

UNCERTAINTY RELATIONS FOR THE TIME-DEPENDENT SINGULAR OSCILLATOR

Jeong Ryeol Choi, In Hyun Nahm

Uncertainty relations for the time-dependent singular oscillator in the number state and in the coherent state are investigated. We applied our developement to the Caldirola–Kanai oscillator perturbed by a singularity. For this system, the variation (Δx) decreased exponentially while (Δp) increased exponentially with time both in the number and in the coherent states. As k → 0 and χ → 0, the number state uncertainty relation in the ground state becomes 0.583216ℏ which is somewhat larger than that of the standard harmonic oscillator, ℏ/2. On the other hand, the uncertainty relation in all excited states become smaller than that of the standard harmonic oscillator with the same quantum number n. However, as k → ∞ and χ → 0, the uncertainty relations of the system approach the uncertainty relations of the standard harmonic oscillator, (n+1/2)ℏ.

WAVE FUNCTIONS WITH DISCRETE AND WITH CONTINUOUS SPECTRUM FOR QUANTUM DAMPED HARMONIC OSCILLATOR PERTURBED BY A SINGULARITY

Jeong-Ryeol Choi

The quantum states with discrete and continuous spectrum for the damped harmonic oscillator perturbed by a singularity have been investigated using invariant operator and unitary operator together. The eigenvalue of the invariant operator for ω0≤β/2 is continuous while for ω0>β/2 is discrete. The wave functions for ω0=β/2 expressed in terms of the Bessel function and for ω0<β/2 in terms of the Kummer confluent hypergeometric function. The convergence of the probability density is more rapid for over-damped harmonic oscillator than that of the other two cases due to the large damping constant.

Quasi-coherent states for harmonic oscillator with time-dependent parameters

Nuri Ünal

In this study, we discuss the harmonic oscillator with the time-dependent frequency, ω(t), and the mass, M(t), by generalizing the holomorphic coordinates for the harmonic oscillator. In general cases, we solve the Schrödinger equation by reducing it into the Riccati equation and discuss the uncertainties for the quasi-coherent states of the time-dependent harmonic oscillator. In special cases, we find the following results: First, for a time-dependent harmonic oscillator, if [ω(t)M(t)] is constant, then the coherent states will evolve as the coherent states. Second, for the driven harmonic oscillator, the coherent states will evolve as the coherent states with new eigenvalues. Third, we derive quasi-coherent states for the Caldirola–Kanai Hamiltonian and show that the product of uncertainties, ΔxΔp, is larger than minimum value; however, it is constant. We also discuss the classical equations of motion for the system.

Thermal State of General Time-Dependent Harmonic Oscillator with a Singular Perturbation

Jeong-Ryeol Choi

Taking advantage of the dynamical invariant method and the unitary transformation method together, we obtained quantum-mechanical solutions of the general time-dependent harmonic oscillator with a singular perturbation. The wave functions of the system are represented in terms of the associated Laguerre polynomial. We introduced a density operator satisfying the Leouville–von Neumann equation and used its diagonal elements to evaluate various expectation values in thermal state. We confirmed that the time-dependency of variables such as and 2 in thermal state are exactly the same as that in number state.

DEFORMED HARMONIC OSCILLATOR FOR NON-HERMITIAN OPERATOR AND THE BEHAVIOR OF PT AND CPT SYMMETRIES

A. D. Jannussis, Kostas Vlachos, V. Papatheou +1 more

In the present paper we study the deformed harmonic oscillator for the non-Hermitian operator [Formula: see text] where λ,θ are real positive parameters, since the parameters α,β,m are for the general case complex. For the case α=1,β=1 and mass m real, we find the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of energy, the coherent states, the time evolution of the operators [Formula: see text] in the Heisenberg picture and the uncertainty relations. In this case the operator ℋ is Hermitian and PT-symmetric. Also for the case m complex α=1,β=1, the operator ℋ is non-Hermitian and no more PT symmetric, but CPT symmetric with real discrete positive spectrum and the CPT symmetry is preserved. In the general case α,β,m complex, for the non-Hermitian operator ℋ, we obtain complex spectrum and for the special values of the complex parameters α,β the spectrum is real discrete and positive and the CPT symmetry is preserved. The general problem of deformed oscillator for non hermitian operators can be applied to the Solid State Physics.
