Squeezing properties of a pulsating oscillator

Chi‐Fai Lo, Y T Liu, C B Li

Published Oct 1, 1995• 4 citations
Publisher

Abstract

The authors have investigated the time evolution of a quantum oscillator with a pulsating mass using the Lie-algebraic technique. Squeezing properties of the oscillator are numerically examined. The analyses indicate that the oscillator initially in a coherent state can have a very strong squeezing effect.

Evolution of SU(1,1) coherent states in harmonic oscillators with time-dependent masses

Christopher C. Gerry, M F Plumb

The authors study the evolution of SU(1,1) coherent states, which may represent squeezed vacuum states, in harmonic oscillators with time-dependent masses. Such oscillators may model a quantised electromagnetic field in a cavity where the field changes with time under the action of some reservoir. They consider three types of variable mass: a decaying mass, a pulsating mass, and a mass with damping and pulsation. They have found that in the most interesting cases involving pulsation, a high degree of squeezing (enhanced squeezing) may be obtained in the vicinity of the resonance where the pulsation frequency is twice the natural oscillator frequency.

Squeezing by tuning the oscillator frequency

Chi‐Fai Lo

The author examines the possibility of generating squeezed states out of coherent states by external changes of the oscillator frequency. Using the evolution operator method developed by Cheng and Fung, he investigates the evolution of a coherent state of a time-dependent harmonic oscillator as well as its squeezing and coherence property. Two specific models of frequency variation are explored; namely, one whose frequency is exponentially decreasing in time and the other with a periodic frequency. His analyses indicates that the wavefunction of the time-dependent oscillator starts as a coherent state at t=O and evolves as a squeezed state at a later time. It is also shown that squeezing cannot be generated by an adiabatic change of the oscillator frequency because the variances of q and p turn out to be adiabatic invariants, whereas a sudden change can produce squeezing.

Squeezing properties of q -deformed oscillator

Guo Guang-Can, Liang Jiu-Qing

The q -coherent states are indeed minimum uncertainty states for corresponding q -deformed operators. The time evolution of q -coherent states are given by introducing the q -boson Hamiltonian analogous to the one for normal bosons. It is shown that initially prepared q -coherent states are no longer the eigenstates of q -annihilation operator during time evolution and eventually become squeezing states. The squeezing properties are studied numerically.

Time-evolution of squeezed coherent states of a generalized quantum parametric oscillator

Şirin A. Büyükaşık, Zehra Çayiç

Time evolution of squeezed coherent states for a quantum parametric oscillator with the most general self-adjoint quadratic Hamiltonian is found explicitly. For this, we use the unitary displacement and squeeze operators in coordinate representation and the evolution operator obtained by the Wei-Norman Lie algebraic approach. Then, we analyze squeezing properties of the wave packets according to the complex parameter of the squeeze operator and the time-variable parameters of the Hamiltonian. As an application, we construct all exactly solvable generalized quantum oscillator models classically corresponding to a driven simple harmonic oscillator. For each model, defined according to the frequency modification in position space, we describe explicitly the squeezing and displacement properties of the wave packets. This allows us to see the exact influence of all parameters and make a basic comparison between the different models.

Parametric oscillator in a Kerr medium: evolution of coherent states

R. Román-Ancheyta, Manuel Berrondo, J. Récamier

We study the temporal evolution of a coherent state under the action of a parametric oscillator and a nonlinear Kerr-like medium. We make use of the interaction-picture representation and use an exact time-evolution operator for the time-independent part of the Hamiltonian. We approximate the interaction-picture Hamiltonian in such a way as to make it a member of a Lie algebra. The corresponding time-evolution operator behaves like a squeezing operator due to the temporal dependence of the oscillator’s frequency. We analyze the probability amplitude, the auto-correlation function, and the Husimi distribution function for different Hamiltonian parameters. We find very good agreement between our approximate results and converged numerical calculations.

Time evolution of a charged oscillator with a time-dependent mass and frequency in a time-dependent electromagnetic field

Chi‐Fai Lo

In this paper we investigate the time evolution of a charged oscillator with a time-dependent mass and frequency in a time-dependent electromagnetic field using the Lie algebraic technique. We obtain an exact form of the time evolution operator which, in turn, enables us to find the exact wave functions and coherent states of the system at any time t. Our analyses indicate that the wave function of the system starts as a coherent state at t=0 and evolves as a squeezed state at a later time.
