On the basis of quantum-classical correspondence for two-dimensional anisotropic oscillator, we study quantum-classical correspondence for two-dimensional rotation and translation harmonic oscillator system from both quantum-classical orbits and geometric phases. Here, the two one-dimensional oscillators refer to a common harmonic oscillator and a rotation and translation harmonic oscillator. In terms of the generalized gauge transformation, we obtain the stationary Lissajous orbits and Hannay's angle. On the other hand, the eigenfunctions and Berry phases are derived analytically with the help of time-dependent gauge transformation. We may draw the conclusion that the nonadiabatic Berry phase in the original gauge is-n times the classical Hannay's angle, here n is the eigenfunction index. As a matter of fact, the quantum geometric phase and the classical Hannay's angle have the same nature according to Berry. Finally, by using the SU(2) coherent superposition of degenerate two-dimensional eigenfunctions for a fixed energy value, we construct the stationary wave functions and show that the spatial distribution of wave-function probability clouds is in excellent accordance with the classical orbits, indicating the exact quantum-classical correspondence. We also demonstrate the quantum-classical correspondences for the geometric phase-angle and the quantum-classical orbits in a unified form.
Generalized Gauge Transformation with PTPT‐Symmetric Non‐Unitary Operator and Classical Correspondence of Non‐Hermitian Hamiltonian for a Periodically Driven System
Abstract This paper demonstrates that the parity‐time ()‐symmetric non‐Hermitian Hamiltonian for a periodically driven system can be generated from a kernel Hamiltonian by a generalized gauge transformation. The kernel Hamiltonian is Hermitian and static, while the time‐dependent transformation operator has to be symmetric and non‐unitary in general. Biorthogonal sets of eigenstates appear necessarily as a consequence of the non‐Hermitian Hamiltonian. The wave functions and associated non‐adiabatic Berry phase for the nth eigenstate are obtained analytically. The classical version of the non‐Hermitian Hamiltonian becomes a complex function of canonical variables and time. The corresponding kernel Hamiltonian is derived with symmetric canonical‐variable transfer in the classical gauge transformation. Moreover, with the change of position‐momentum to angle‐action variables it is revealed that the non‐adiabatic Hannay's angle and Berry phase satisfy precisely the quantum‐classical correspondence, .
We demonstrate a formally exact quantum–classical correspondence between the stationary coherent states associated with the commensurate anisotropic two-dimensional harmonic oscillator and the classical Lissajous orbits. Our derivation draws upon the earlier work of Louck et al (1973 J. Math. Phys. 14 692) wherein they have provided a non-bijective canonical transformation that maps, within a degenerate eigenspace, the commensurate anisotropic oscillator on to the isotropic oscillator. This mapping leads, in a natural manner, to a Schwinger realization of SU (2) in terms of the canonically transformed creation and annihilation operators. Through the corresponding coherent states built over a degenerate eigenspace, we directly effect the classical limit via the expectation values of the underlying generators. Our work completely accounts for the fact that the SU (2) coherent state in general corresponds to an ensemble of Lissajous orbits.
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.
Based on the generalized gauge transformation and invariant methods, we study in this work the rigorous solution for non-Hermitian Hamiltonians consisting of SU(1, 1) and SU(2) generators, which describe the harmonic oscillator and a single spin of arbitrary spin value, respectively, in periodically time-dependent fields. A non-Hermitian Hamiltonian with real eigenvalues is called pseudo-Hermitian. Such a Hamiltonian can be converted to a Hermitian one by a similarity transformation. We extend the concept of pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians to the time-dependent case. Under the generalized gauge transformation with a time-dependent Hermitian operator, the Hamiltonian becomes Hermitian and time-independent in the new gauge. The rigorous solution, as well as the Berry phase, is obtained by applying the inverse transformation to return to the original gauge. The time-dependent Schrödinger equation is also solved in terms of non-Hermitian invariant operators, which possess conserved real eigenvalues. We derive the time-dependent solutions and corresponding geometric phases by eigenstate expansion of the invariant operators, combined with the time-evolution operator. It is observed that the non-Hermitian coupling constant indeed has an exceptional point Gc(ω) for the SU(2) non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, where all eigenstates are degenerate with zero eigenvalue and the Berry phase diverges. The eigenvalues become complex beyond Gc(ω) . However, the eigenvalues are real within the entire region of coupling constant for the SU(1, 1) system, different from the common belief that the exceptional point must exist in the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian. The classical counterpart of the SU(1, 1) non-Hermitian Hamiltonian is, in fact, a complex function of position-momentum variables. It can be converted to a real function via the generalized gauge transformation, accompanied by a canonical-variable transformation. This process corresponds exactly to the Hermitization procedure of the pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonian. We obtain the classical Hannay angle for the periodically time-dependent SU(1, 1) pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonian. The non-adiabatic Hannay angle and the Berry phase satisfy precisely the quantum-classical correspondence, γn(T)=−(n+12)∆Θ .
We study quantum–classical correspondence in terms of the coherent wave functions of a charged particle in two- dimensional central-scalar potentials as well as the gauge field of a magnetic flux in the sense that the probability clouds of wave functions are well localized on classical orbits. For both closed and open classical orbits, the non-integer angular-momentum quantization with the level space of angular momentum being greater or less than is determined uniquely by the same rotational symmetry of classical orbits and probability clouds of coherent wave functions, which is not necessarily 2π-periodic. The gauge potential of a magnetic flux impenetrable to the particle cannot change the quantization rule but is able to shift the spectrum of canonical angular momentum by a flux-dependent value, which results in a common topological phase for all wave functions in the given model. The well-known quantum mechanical anyon model becomes a special case of the arbitrary quantization, where the classical orbits are 2π-periodic.
