Homogeneous canonical formulation of the nonrelativistic hydrogen atom

Horacio Grinberg, Julio Marañón, H. Vucetich

Published Sep 1, 1984• 5 citations
Publisher

Abstract

The homogeneous canonical formulation is applied to the Hamiltonian of the nonrelativistic hydrogen atom. Its connection with the isotropic harmonic oscillator in a four-dimensional Riemann space leads to the quantum analog of the Kepler problem.

Hydrogen atom in the phase-space formulation of quantum mechanics

José M. Gracia-Bondı́a

Using a coordinate transformation which regularizes the classical Kepler problem, we show that the hydrogen-atom case may be analytically solved via the phase-space formulation of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. The problem is essentially reduced to that of a four-dimensional oscillator whose treatment in the phase-space formulation is developed. Furthermore, the method allows us to calculate the Green's function for the H atom in a surprisingly simple way.

Atomic orbitals of the nonrelativistic hydrogen atom in a four-dimensional Riemann space through the path integral formalism

Horacio Grinberg, Julio Marañón, H. Vucetich

The Kustaanheimo–Stiefel transformation together with the well-known expansion of the kernel of an isotropic harmonic oscillator is used to generate the atomic orbitals of the nonrelativistic hydrogen atom in a four-dimensional Riemann space through the path integral formalism. Group theoretical implications of the present problem are briefly discussed.

Quantization of the conformal Kepler problem and its application to the hydrogen atom

Toshihiro Iwai

Quantization of the conformal Kepler problem is defined and studied in order that the quantized system, which will be referred to as a conformal hydrogen atom, may associate the harmonic oscillator with the hydrogen atom. The conformal hydrogen atom shares with the harmonic oscillator the eigenspaces of negative energies. The four-dimensional conformal hydrogen atom reduces to the three-dimensional ordinary hydrogen atom. The symmetry group SO(4) of the hydrogen atom is brought out from the symmetry subgroup of the harmonic oscillator. The conformal hydrogen atom gives an example of those quantum systems of which the configuration spaces are curved Riemannian spaces with nonconstant scalar curvatures and of which the Hamiltonian operators depend on the scalar curvatures.

Some remarks on the hydrogen atom

Horacio Grinberg, Julio Marañón, H. Vucetich

Abstract The path integral for the Green's function involving the Coulomb potential in combination with the Kustaanheimo‐Stiefel transformation is used to generate the atomic orbitals of the nonrelativistic hydrogen atom as various combinations of the product of one‐dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator wave functions. The use of the transformation is justified, by connecting the homogeneous space with the quotient space in the Feynman quantization formalism.

COHERENT STATES OF HYDROGEN ATOM

Xu Bo-wei, ZENG QI, 上海交通大学物理系,上海,200030

From Kustannheimo-Stiefel transformation, the hygrogen problem in quantum mechanics can be transformed to that of a four dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator with constrain. The coherent states are defined, for which the expectation values of the position and the momentum are shown to give the classical Kepler orbits. The uncertainty relations for the coherent states are discussed as well.
