Coherent and squeezed vibrations for discrete variable harmonic oscillators

Abstract

In this work we study different types of coherent and squeezed states for the Charlier, Kravchuk and Meixner oscillators. We calculate the average values of different observables corresponding to the coherent states. We found that the coherent and squeezed states of the Kravchuk oscillator are unstable. There are also coherent and squeezed states that are similar to the coherent and squeezed states of the harmonic oscillator. We have introduced a discrete variable model for the biophoton coherent radiation, and the coherent thermal and squeezed thermal states.

Interaction between the Kravchuck and Meixner oscillators coherent states and the coherent radiation field

Gheorghe Eugen Drăgănescu

To describe a series of phenomena that occur in micro- and nano-systems, we have used the discrete variable Kravchuk and Meixner oscillators for which some sets of coherent states and some squeezed states were established. For a system consisting of molecular oscillators interacting with the coherent radiation field, an oscillatory variation of the refractive index was established.

Difference oscillator in terms of the Meixner polynomials

Natig M. Atakishiyev, E. I. Jafarov, Sh. M. Nagiyev +1 more

We discuss a difference model of the linear harmonic oscillator based on the Meixner polynomials. As limit and special cases, it contains difference oscillator models in terms of the Kravchuk and Charlier polynomials, as well as the wavefunctions of the linear harmonic oscillator in quantum mechanics. We show that the dynamical group is SU(1,1) and construct explicitly the corresponding coherent state. The reproducing kernel for the wavefunctions of the Meixner model is also found.

Generalized squeezed–coherent states of the finite one-dimensional oscillator and matrix multi-orthogonality

Vincent X. Genest, Luc Vinet, Alexei S. Zhedanov

A set of generalized squeezed–coherent states for the finite oscillator is obtained. These states are given as linear combinations of the mode eigenstates with amplitudes determined by matrix elements of exponentials in the generators. These matrix elements are given in the ( N + 1)-dimensional basis of the finite oscillator eigenstates and are seen to involve 3 × 3 matrix multi-orthogonal polynomials Q n ( k ) in a discrete variable k which have the Krawtchouk and vector-orthogonal polynomials as their building blocks. The algebraic setting allows for the characterization of these polynomials and the computation of mean values in the squeezed–coherent states. In the limit where N goes to infinity and the discrete oscillator approaches the standard harmonic oscillator, the polynomials tend to 2 × 2 matrix orthogonal polynomials and the squeezed–coherent states tend to those of the standard oscillator.

Meixner Oscillators

Natig M. Atakishiyev, E. I. Jafarov, Шакир Мамед Нагиев +1 more

Meixner oscillators have a ground state and an `energy' spectrum that is equally spaced; they are a two-parameter family of models that satisfy a Hamiltonian equation with a {\it difference} operator. Meixner oscillators include as limits and particular cases the Charlier, Kravchuk and Hermite (common quantum-mechanical) harmonic oscillators. By the Sommerfeld-Watson transformation they are also related with a relativistic model of the linear harmonic oscillator, built in terms of the Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials, and their continuous weight function. We construct explicitly the corresponding coherent states with the dynamical symmetry group Sp(2,$\Re$). The reproducing kernel for the wavefunctions of these models is also found.

Continuous vs. discrete models for the quantum harmonic oscillator and the hydrogen atom

Miguel Lorente

The Kravchuk and Meixner polynomials of discrete variable are introduced for the discrete models of the harmonic oscillator and hydrogen atom. Starting from Rodrigues formula we construct raising and lowering operators, commutation and anticommutation relations. The physical properties of discrete models are figured out through the equivalence with the continuous models obtained by limit process.

Coherent states for the nonlinear harmonic oscillator

Subir Ghosh

Wave packets for the quantum nonlinear oscillator are considered in the generalized coherent state framework. To first order in the nonlinearity parameter the coherent state behaves very similar to its classical counterpart. The position expectation value oscillates in a simple harmonic manner. The energy-momentum uncertainty relation is time independent as in a harmonic oscillator. Various features (such as the squeezed state nature) of the coherent state have been discussed.
