A pair of coupled quantum anharmonic oscillators

Francis R. Halpern

Published Jun 1, 1974• 7 citations
Publisher

Abstract

The energy levels of a pair of coupled anharmonic oscillators are studied. The technique employed is to find two approximately canonical coordinate momentum pairs. Particular emphasis is placed on the qualitative dependence of the coordinate and momentum operators on the quantum numbers.

Quantum mechanics of the anharmonic oscillator

Francis R. Halpern

The dependence of the energy levels and the value of the matrix elements of the momentum and position operators of a quantum anharmonic oscillator are studied as functions of the quantum number and the strength of the anharmonic term. The principal technique employed is the construction of a canonical transformation.

General techniques for single and coupled quantum anharmonic oscillators

Francis R. Halpern

Matrix mechanic methods are used to find approximate equations and solutions for quantum anharmonic oscillator problems. A series of hypotheses are introduced that truncate and partially decouple the infinite set of coupled equations that specify the problem in the matrix mechanics formulation. The dependent variables or unknowns in these equations are the matrix elements of the coordinate and momentum operators. The independent variables are the matrix indices and coupling strengths. The equations themselves specify that the off diagonal matrix elements of the Hamiltonian and the commutators expressed in terms of the unknowns vanish and that the diagonal commutator matrix elements vanish except for canonical pairs in which case they are equal to −ih/. The truncation and decoupling hypotheses offer an orderly procedure for dealing approximately with the vast array of equations of the exact problems. Only the leading behavior of the coordinate and momentum operator matrix elements is found in terms of the matrix indices and coupling parameters. Although general techniques are presented to find the equations, the solutions discussed and the applications are brief extensions of problems that have already been treated.
