Isotropic time-dependent coupled oscillators

M. Sebawe Abdalla

Published May 1, 1987• 36 citations
Publisher

Abstract

The problem of a two-dimensional isotropic oscillator coupled through a variable parameter is considered. The problem is reduced to uncoupled form with two different variable frequencies. The solution has been obtained in both the Schr"odinger and Heisenberg pictures. Applications in quantum optics are indicated.

Anisotropic time-dependent coupled oscillators

M. Sebawe Abdalla

The problem of a two-dimensional anisotropic oscillator coupled through a complex parameter that oscillates at the frequency \ensuremath{\omega} is considered. The treatment has been applied to the case when \ensuremath{\omega} is not equal to the frequency difference of the oscillators. An exact solution for the Schr\"odinger wave function has been obtained. The Green's function as well as the expectation value of the energy are calculated.

Time-dependent coupled harmonic oscillators: Classical and quantum solutions

D. X. Macedo, I. Guedes

In this work we present the classical and quantum solutions for an arbitrary system of time-dependent coupled harmonic oscillators, where the masses (m), frequencies (ω) and coupling parameter (k) are functions of time. To obtain the classical solutions, we use a coordinate and momentum transformations along with a canonical transformation to write the original Hamiltonian as the sum of two Hamiltonians of uncoupled harmonic oscillators with modified time-dependent frequencies and unitary masses. To obtain the exact quantum solutions we use a unitary transformation and the Lewis and Riesenfeld (LR) invariant method. The exact wave functions are obtained by solving the respective Milne–Pinney (MP) equation for each system. We obtain the solutions for the system with m1 = m2 = m0eγt, ω1 = ω01e-γt/2, ω2 = ω02e-γt/2 and k = k0.

On the quantum dynamics of a general time-dependent coupled oscillator

Rahma Zerimeche, Naima Mana, Maroua Sekhri +2 more

By using the Lewis–Riesenfeld invariants theory, we investigate the quantum dynamics of a two-dimensional (2D) time-dependent coupled oscillator. We introduce a unitary transformation and show the conditions under which the invariant operator is uncoupled to describe two simple harmonic oscillators with time-independent frequencies and unit masses. The decouplement allows us to easily obtain the corresponding eigenstates. The generalization to three-dimensional (3D) time-dependent coupled oscillator is briefly discussed where a diagonalized invariant, which is exactly the sum of three simple harmonic oscillators, is obtained under specific conditions on the parameters.

Harmonic oscillators coupled time-dependent

Diego Ximenes Macedo

In this work we present the classical and quantum solutions of time-dependent coupled harmonic oscillators. In these systems the masses, frequencies and coupling parameter (k) are functions of time. Four systems are investigated. To obtain the classical solutions we use a coordinate and momentum transformations along with a canonical transformation to write the original Hamiltonian as the sum of two Hamiltonians of uncoupled harmonic oscillators with modified time-dependent frequencies and unitary masses. We find the analytical expression for position and velocity of each oscillator of the systems. To obtain the exact quantum solutions we use a unitary transformation and the Lewis and Riesenfeld invariant method. The wave functions obtained are written in terms of a c-number quantity () which is solution of the Milne-Pinney equation. For each system we solve the respective Milne-Pinney equation and discuss how the quantum fluctuations and the uncertainty product evolve with time.

Quantum statistics of three modes coupled oscillators

M. Sebawe Abdalla, M. M. A. Ahmed, S Al-Homidan

From a quantum optics point of view the problem of three modes time-dependent coupled oscillators is considered. The connection related to the directional coupler is given, and the solution in the Heisenberg picture is obtained. The Glauber second-order correlation function has been used to discuss the bunching and antibunching. The phenomena of squeezing as well as the quasiprobability distribution functions (Wigner function and Q -function) are examined.

Quantum treatment of the time-dependent coupled oscillators

M. Sebawe Abdalla

The Hamiltonian for a system of two coupled oscillators with time-dependent coupling parameter and the phase pump is considered. The wavefunction in Schrödinger picture and the Green function are calculated. The squeezing phenomena as well as the Glauber second-order correlation function is discussed. Statistical investigation for the quasi-probability distribution function (P-representation, W-Wigner and Q-functions) are given.
