Physical Review A

Exact wave functions and nonadiabatic Berry phases of a time-dependent harmonic oscillator

Abstract

Exact Schr\"odinger wave functions of a time-dependent harmonic oscillator are found in analytically closed forms for the eigenstates of the generalized invariant and the instantaneous Hamiltonian. The cyclic initial state (CIS) and corresponding nonadiabatic Berry phase are also found exactly for a $\ensuremath{\tau}$-periodic Hamiltonian. There may exist $N\ensuremath{\tau}$-periodic CISs and corresponding Berry phases, but the cases with unstable classical motions do not have CISs in which cases Berry phases do not exist.

Exact wave functions and geometric phases of a generalized driven oscillator

Minho Lee, Hyeong-Chan Kim, Jeong‐Young Ji

The generalized invariant and its eigenstates of a general quadratic oscillator are found. The Schrödinger wave functions for the eigenstates are also found in analytically closed forms. The conditions for the existence of the cyclic initial state (CIS) are studied and the corresponding nonadiabatic Berry phase is calculated explicitly.

Periodic Hamiltonian and Berry’s phase in harmonic oscillators

Dae-Yup Song

For a time-dependent $\ensuremath{\tau}$-periodic harmonic oscillator of two linearly independent homogeneous solutions of the classical equation of motion that are both bounded over time (stable), it is shown that there is a representation of states that are cyclic up to multiplicative constants under $\ensuremath{\tau}$ evolution or $2\ensuremath{\tau}$ evolution depending on the model. The set of the wave functions is complete. Berry's phase, which could depend on the choice of representation, can be defined under the $\ensuremath{\tau}$ or $2\ensuremath{\tau}$ evolution in this representation. If a homogeneous solution diverges as time goes to infinity, it is shown that such a Berry phase cannot be defined in any representation considered. Berry's phase for the driven harmonic oscillator is also considered. For the cases where Berry's phase can be defined, the phase is given in terms of solutions of the classical equation of motion.

Quantum and classical geometric phase of the time-dependent harmonic oscillator

Xiang‐Bin Wang, L. C. Kwek, C. H. Oh

In a recent paper [Y. C. Ge and M. S. Child, Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 2507 (1997)], by using a Gaussian wave function, Ge and Child presented a nonadiabatic relation between the quantum Berry phase and the classical Hannay angle for the time-dependent harmonic oscillator. In this paper, we present a perspective for this relation without the use of a trial wave function. In particular, an exact explicit formula for the cyclic evolution over the period T in the parameter space of action invariant is obtained; the $\ensuremath{-}(n+1/2)$ relation between the quantum geometric angle and the Hannay angle is rigorously established.

On geometric phases and dynamical invariants

Diana Monteoliva, H. J. Korsch, J A Nunez

A formalism is developed for calculating Berry phases for nonadiabatic time-periodic quantum systems when a dynamical invariant is known. It is found that, when the invariant is periodic and has a nondegenerate spectrum, this method allows a convenient way to obtain generalized Berry phases and the proper cyclic initial states. The method is applied to the generalized harmonic oscillator and the two-level system, where the invariant operators are explicitly constructed. Formulae for the conventional Berry's phases are readily obtained by taking the adiabatic limit of the exact results.

Coupled harmonic oscillators and their application in the dynamics of entanglement and the nonadiabatic Berry phases

Adel Abidi, A. Trabelsi, S. Krichene

In the dynamic description of physical systems, the two coupled harmonic oscillators’ time-dependent mass, angular frequency, and coupling parameter are recognized as a good working example. We present in this work an analytical treatment with a numerical evaluation of the entanglement and the nonadiabatic Berry phases in the vacuum state. On the basis of an exact resolution of the wave function solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation (TDSE) using the Heisenberg picture approach, we derive the wave function of the two coupled harmonic oscillators. At the logarithmic scale, we derive the entanglement entropies and the temperature. We discuss the existence of the cyclical initial state (CIS) based on an instant Hamiltonian and we obtain the corresponding nonadiabatic Berry phases through a period T. Moreover, we extend the result to the case of N coupled harmonic oscillators. We use the numerical calculation to follow the dynamic evolution of the entanglement in comparison to the time dependance of the nonadiabatic Berry phases and the time dependance of the temperature. For two coupled harmonic oscillators with time-independent mass and angular frequency, the nonadiabatic Berry phases present very slight oscillations with the equivalent period as the period of the entanglement. A second model is composed of two coupled harmonic oscillators with angular frequency, which change initially as well as later. Herein, the entanglement and the temperature exhibit the same oscillatory behavior with exponential increase in temperature.

Cyclic states, Berry phases and the Schrodinger operator

Alla N. Seleznyova

The evolution of a quantum mechanical system under a nonadiabatic external perturbation at a time interval (0,T) is considered. It is shown that all the cyclic states of the system, mod Psi (T))=e i phi mod Psi (0)), are determined by the eigenvalues in (quasi-energies) and associated eigenvectors mod phi in (t)) of the Schrodinger operator S q (t)=H(t)-i( delta / delta t) acting on some Hilbert space. The set of linearly independent cyclic (quasi-energy) states possess some properties similar to the properties of the stationary states of a closed system. The Berry phases of the states associated with eigenvectors of the discrete spectrum of S q (t), which are single-valued functions of omega =2 pi /T, are supplied by the partial derivatives of the corresponding eigenvalues (quasi-energies) with respect to omega . The approach developed is illustrated by several applications to time-dependent systems: the system under an adiabatic perturbation, the forced harmonic oscillator, and the two-level system. Even in the case of a system with a time-independent Hamiltonian there exist nonstationary quasi-energy states that have nontrivial Berry phases ( beta /2 pi not an integer). The criterion of existence of such states is formulated in terms of the energies of the system, and the corresponding expression for the Berry phases is obtained. Some examples of nonstationary cyclic states of closed systems, including the coherent states of a force-free oscillator and the Wannier states of electrons in the parabolic band, are considered.

Exact Schr"odinger wave functions of a time-dependent harmonic oscillator are found in analytically closed forms for the eigenstates of the generalized invariant and the instantaneous Hamiltonian. The cyclic initial state (CIS) and corresponding nonadiabatic Berry phase are also found exactly for a \ensuremathτ\ensuremath{\tau}\ensuremathτ-periodic Hamiltonian. There may exist N\ensuremathτN\ensuremath{\tau}N\ensuremathτ-periodic CISs and corresponding Berry phases, but the cases with unstable classical motions do not have CISs in which cases Berry phases do not exist.
