Abstract

In this work we discuss the problems underlying the time evolution of states driven by SU(2) and SU(1,1) coherence-preserving Hamiltonians, using the Wei-Norman algebraic procedure. We also solve the problem of finding the explicit time evolution of a quantum system whose Hamiltonian is a time-dependent linear combination of the SU(1,1) group generators and those of the Weyl-Heisenberg algebra. The relevance of this Hamiltonian to the generation of antibunched radiation in a laser-plasma scattering experiment is also briefly analyzed.

SU(1,1) coherent-state dynamics: A path-integral approach

Christopher C. Gerry

We use SU(1,1) coherent-state path integrals to describe the time evolution of systems driven by coherence-preserving Hamiltonians. Such Hamiltonians are composed of linear combinations of the group generators. The method described here is an alternative to the well-known Wei-Norman procedures. Application is made to the degenerate parametric amplifier of quantum optics.

Operator disentanglement

G. Dattoli, M. Richetta, A. Torre

We obtain the time-ordered form of the evolution operator for Hamiltonian linear combinations of the generators of the SU(1,1), SU(2), and h(4) groups. The relevance of the obtained results to physics problems such as the generation of non-Poissonian statistics in laser-plasma scattering and the pulse propagation in free-electron lasers is also briefly discussed.

TIME EVOLUTION OF A QUANTUM SYSTEM WITH HAMILTONIAN CONSISTING OF TIME-DEPENDENT LINEAR COMBINATION OF SU(l, 1)AND SU(2) GENERATORS AND THE HERMITIAN INVARIANT OPERATOR

We study the time evolution of a quantum system with Hamiltonian consisting of time-dependent linear combination of SU(1,1) and SU(2) generators. A proper hermitian invariant operator has been found to obtain not only closed formulas for the time evolution of quantum states but also the time evolution operators for both the SU(1, 1) and SU(2) systems. The time evolution operators have been used to investigate the time-dependent two photons and SU(2) squeezing states and squeezing properties of the time-dependent SU(1,1) coherent states.

SU(1,1), SU(2), and SU(3) coherence-preserving Hamiltonians and time-ordering techniques

G. Dattoli, P. Di Lazzaro, A. Torre

The Wei-Norman ordering technique is utilized to present a unified approach to the time ordering for SU(2), SU(1,1), and SU(3) coherence-preserving Hamiltonians. It is shown that the characteristic equations of the ordering method can be cast in the form of a generalized Bloch equation in an SU(2), SU(1,1), and SU(3) space. The laws of conservation, linked to the Casimir invariants of the algebra, are also directly derived from the Wei-Norman characteristic equations.

Time evolution of quantum systems with time-dependent Hamiltonian and the invariant Hermitian operator

We study the time evolution of a class of exactly solvable time-dependent quantum systems with a time-dependent Hamiltonian given by a linear combination of SU(1,1) and SU(2) generators with the help of the invariant Hermitian operator. The exact common solutions of the Schrödinger equations for both the SU(1,1) and SU(2) systems are obtained in terms of eigenstates of the invariant operator. The adiabatic and non-adiabatic Berry phases are calculated with the exact solutions. Moreover, we derive an explicit time-evolution operator which is used to investigate the time-dependent two-photon squeezing states and SU(2) squeezing states. The squeezing properties of the time-dependent SU(1,1) coherent states are also discussed.
