Quasiclassical trajectory-coherent states of a particle in an arbitrary electromagnetic field

Abstract

In this paper we show that for a nonrelativistic charged particle moving in an arbitrary external electromagnetic field there exist approximate solutions of the Schrödinger equation, such that the quantum-mechanical averages of the coordinates and the momenta with respect to these states are general exact solutions of the classical Hamiltonian equations. Such states are called trajectory-coherent states. The wave functions of the trajectory-coherent states are obtained by the complex germ method by V. P. Maslov. The simplest properties of these states are studied.

QUASICLASSICAL TRAJECTORY-COHERENT STATES OF A NONRELATIVISTIC PARTICL)~ IN AN ARBITRARY ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD

L.D. LANDAU

It is shown that for a nonrelativistic charged particle moving in an arbitrary external electromagnetic field there exist approximate solutions of the SchrSdinger equation such that the mean quantum-mechanic al coordinates and momenta of these states are enact general solutions of the classical Hamilton equations. Such states are called trajectory-coher ent states. The wave functions of trajectory-coher ent states are obtained by Maslov's complex germ method. The simplest properties of these states are studied.

The complex WKB-Maslov method for the Dirac equation in a torsion field: I. Construction of trajectory-coherent states and the equation for spin

Vladislav G. Bagrov, Владимир Владимирович Белов, Andrey Yu. Trifonov +1 more

The investigation of the Dirac equation by the WKB-Maslov method (complex sprout method) in Minkowski-Cartan space with an arbitrary external electromagnetic field is carried out. The Ehrenfest-type complete set of quasi-classical trajectory-coherent states (TCS) for the Dirac equation up to the order of O(h(cross) 3 2/) at to 0 is constructed. These states have the form of wavepackets moving along the worldline of the charged particle. From the Dirac equation a classical relativistic spin equation is derived by the use of the TCS which coincides with the generalization of the well known Bargmann-Michel-Telegdi equation in the case of an arbitrary external torsion field.

Quasiclassical trajectory coherent states of nonrelativistic particle in a homogeneous magnetic field. Kvaziklassicheskie traektorno-kogerentnye sostoyaniya nerelyativistskoj chastitsy v odnorodnom magnitnom pole

Belov, D Boltovskij, A. G. Karavaev

Nonrelativistic particle in a homogeneous magnetic field was taken as an example to illustrate the general structure of quasiclassical trajectory - coherent states. Relation of these states (representing exact solutions in the case of quadratic nonrelativistic quantum systems) with widely known coherent and correlated coherent states was established.

Coherent States and Transition Probabilities in a Time-Dependent Electromagnetic Field

I.A. Malkin, Vladimir I. Man’ko, D. A. Trifonov

New time-dependent invariants for the $N$-dimensional nonstationary harmonic oscillator and for a charged particle in a varying axially symmetric classical electromagnetic field are found. For these quantum systems, coherent states are introduced, and the Green's functions are obtained in closed form. For a special type of electromagnetic field which is constant in the remote past and future, the transition amplitudes between both arbitrary coherent states and energy eigenstates are calculated and expressed in terms of classical polynomials. The adiabatic approximation and adiabatic invariants are discussed. In the special case of a particle with time-dependent mass, the solution of the Schr\"odinger equation is found. The symmetry of nonstationary Hamiltonians is discussed, and the noncompact group $U(N, 1)$ is shown to be the group of dynamical symmetry for the time-dependent $N$-dimensional oscillator.
