Spectral properties of phase operators

J. Dombrowski

Published May 1, 1974• 15 citations
Publisher

Abstract

This paper studies the spectral properties of phase operators associated with the phase of the harmonic oscillator. It is shown that all such phase operators have an absolutely continuous part and that those of a certain subclass are absolutely continuous.

Variants of the Quantum Phase Operator for the Harmonic Oscillator

Bogdan D. Djordjevic, Nikolay A. Ivanov

We introduce and study quantum phase operators associated with the Quantum Harmonic Oscillator (QHO). We show that these operators are trace-class perturbations of the Susskind-Glogower operators and examine their mathematical and physical properties. The construction is motivated by the physically relevant two-phase case.

Some Mathematical Properties of Oscillator Phase Operators

E. C. Lerner, Huajun Huang, G. E. Walters

A general definition of ``cosine'' and ``sine'' operators, C and S, for harmonic oscillator phase is proposed and its consequences examined. An important feature of the spectral analysis is the ``chain sequence'' condition which ensures that C and S have unit norm. The (nonunitary) operator U = C + iS is shown to be an annihilation-type operator whose spectral properties bear a remarkable analogy to those of the standard annihilation operator, although its spectrum fills the unit circle rather than the entire complex plane. Statistical properties of the eigenstates of U are discussed briefly.

Generalized coherent states for a generalization of the harmonic oscillator
