The propagator of the time-dependent forced harmonic oscillator with time-dependent damping

Bin Kang Cheng

By using the Caldirola–Kanai Hamiltonian and by applying Feynman polygonal paths, exact evaluation of the propagator of one-dimensional time-dependent forced and damped harmonic oscillator, based on the work of Montroll in deriving the propagator of the harmonic oscillator with time-dependent frequency, is possible. The results are compared with previously found results.

Note on the time-dependent damped and forced harmonic oscillator

P. G. L. Leach

A Hamiltonian for the time-dependent damped and forced harmonic oscillator is derived. A simple time-dependent linear canonical transformation transforms the Hamiltonian to one whose solution is readily obtained. The wave function for the corresponding quantum mechanical problem is given.

Exact evaluation of the propagator for the damped harmonic oscillator

Bin Kang Cheng

Using the Caldirola-Kanai Hamiltonian for the quantum dissipative system, the author expresses the propagator as the modified Feynman path integral in the configuration space, which can then be evaluated for the damped harmonic oscillator by Montroll's method. The propagator of the damped harmonic oscillator can also be calculated beyond and at caustics with the help of Horvathy-Feynman formula. The new results are confirmed by investigating the classical paths joining two fixed end-point positions, Finally the author obtains the time-dependent wavefunctions from the propagator of the dynamical system.
