Abstract

Abstract Some general properties of coherent states of a particle in quantum mechanics are discussed and examples of relativistics coherent states of an electron moving in a steady and homogeneous field and in a non‐stationary external field of special kind are presented. In particular cases this field may be a plane wave, a Redmond field (a superposition of plane wave and homogenous magnetic field), a superposition of a Redmond field and a longitudinal electric field or other physically interesting fields.

Coherent states of a relativistic particle in an external electromagnetic field

Vladislav G. Bagrov, I. L. Buchbinder, Dmitri M Gitman

The problem of the construction of coherent states of relativistic particles (bosons and fermions) in electromagnetic fields has been solved. The states discovered are exact solutions to the Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations; the wavefunctions of the particles are found in the homogeneous magnetic and electric fields and the Redmond configuration field, as well as in the plane-wave field. The formulation of relativistic quantum mechanics is used on the 'null' plane.

Coherent states for a system of an electron moving in a plane

Isiaka Aremua, Laure Gouba

Abstract In this paper, we construct the coherent states for a system of an electron moving in a plane under uniform external magnetic and electric fields. These coherent states are built in the context of both discrete and continuous spectra and satisfy the Gazeau-Klauder coherent state properties Gazeau and Klauder (1999 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 32, 123–132).

Coherent states for a system of an electron moving in a plane: case of discrete spectrum

Isiaka Aremua, Laure Gouba

Abstract In this work, we construct different classes of coherent states related to a quantum system, recently studied in [1], of an electron moving in a plane in uniform external magnetic and electric fields which possesses both discrete and continuous spectra. The eigenfunctions are realized as an orthonormal basis of a suitable Hilbert space appropriate for building the related coherent states. These latter are achieved in the context where we consider both spectra purely discrete obeying the criteria that a family of coherent states must satisfy.

Coherent states of non-relativistic electron in the magnetic–solenoid field

Vladislav G. Bagrov, Sergei P. Gavrilov, Dmitri M Gitman +1 more

In the present work we construct coherent states in the magnetic–solenoid field, which is a superposition of the Aharonov–Bohm field and a collinear uniform magnetic field. In the problem under consideration there are two kinds of coherent states, those which correspond to classical trajectories which embrace the solenoid and those which do not. The constructed coherent states reproduce exactly classical trajectories, maintain their form under the time evolution and form a complete set of functions, which can be useful in semiclassical calculations. In the absence of the solenoid field these states are reduced to the well known in the case of uniform magnetic field Malkin–Man'ko coherent states.

Classification of Electromagnetic Fields in non-Relativist Mechanics

N.V. Sukhomlin, Michelle J. Arias, Dominican Republic

We study the classification of electromagnetic fields using the equivalence relation on the set of all 4-potentials of the Schrodinger equation. In the general case we find the relations among the equivalent fields, currents, and charge densities. Particularly, we study the fields equivalent to the null field. We show that the non-stationary state function for a particle in arbitrary uniform time-dependent magnetic field is equivalent to a plane wave. We present that the known coherent states of a free particle are equivalent to the stationary states of an isotropic oscillator. We reveal that the only constant magnetic field is not equivalent to the null field (contrary to a constant electrical field) and we find other fields that are equivalent to the constant magnetic field. We establish that one particular transformation of the free Schrodinger equation puts a plane wave and Green's function in a equivalence relation. c
