Published Jan 10, 2007• 1 citation

Abstract

The SU (1,1) generators are considered in order to investigate the uncertainty relation in the Barut–Girardello coherent state for the time-dependent singular oscillator. The corresponding uncertainty product is obtained by evaluating the expectation values of the canonical variables and their squares.

PERELOMOV AND BARUT–GIRARDELLO SU(1, 1) COHERENT STATES FOR HARMONIC OSCILLATOR IN ONE-DIMENSIONAL HALF SPACE

Quanhui Liu, H. ZHUO

The Perelomov and the Barut–Girardello SU(1, 1) coherent states for harmonic oscillator in one-dimensional half space are constructed. Results show that the uncertainty products ΔxΔp for these two coherent states are bound from below [Formula: see text] that is the uncertainty for the ground state, and the mean values for position x and momentum p in classical limit go over to their classical quantities respectively. In classical limit, the uncertainty given by Perelomov coherent does not vanish, and the Barut–Girardello coherent state reveals a node structure when positioning closest to the boundary x = 0 which has not been observed in coherent states for other systems.

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.

Existence of Time Operator for a Singular Harmonic Oscillator

Vesna Mikuta-Martinis, Martinis, M.

The time operator for a quantum singular oscillator of the Calogero-Sutherland type is constructed in terms of the generators of the SU(1,1) group. In the space spanned by the eigenstates of the Hamiltonian, the time operator is not self-adjoint. We show, that the time-energy uncertainty relation can be given the meaning within the Barut-Girardello coherent states defined for the singular oscillator.We have also shown the relationship with the time-of-arrival operator of Aharonov and Bohm.

THE DEPENDENCY ON THE SQUEEZING PARAMETER FOR THE UNCERTAINTY RELATION IN THE SQUEEZED STATES OF THE TIME-DEPENDENT OSCILLATOR

Jeong Ryeol Choi

We obtained the uncertainty relation in squeezed states for a time-dependent oscillator. The uncertainty relation in coherent states is same as that of the number states with n=0. However, the uncertainty relation in squeezed states does not satisfy this property and depends on squeezing parameter c. For instance, the uncertainty relation is ℏ/2 which is the minimum value as far as quantum mechanics permits for c=1, same as that in coherent state for c=±∞, and infinity for c=-1. If the time-dependency of the Hamiltonian for the system vanishes, the uncertainty relation in squeezed states will no longer depend on c and becomes the same as that in number state with n=0, like the uncertainty relation in coherent states.

Coherent states of su(1,1): correlations, fluctuations, and the pseudoharmonic oscillator

John Schliemann

Abstract We extend recent results on expectation values of coherent oscillator states and SU(2) coherent states to the case of the discrete representations of su(1,1). Systematic semiclassical expansions of products of arbitrary operators are derived. In particular, the leading order of the energy uncertainty of an arbitrary Hamiltonian is found to be given purely in terms of the time dependence of the classical variables. The coherent states considered here include the Perelomov–Gilmore (PG) coherent states. As an important application we discuss the pseudoharmonic oscillator and compare the PG states with the states introduced by Barut and Girardello. The latter ones turn out to be closer to the classical limit as their relative energy variance decays with the inverse square root of energy, while in the former case a constant is approached.
