Entangled State Representation for Hamiltonian Operator of Quantum Pendulum
Fan Hong-Yi
Abstract
By virtue of the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen entangled state, which is the common eigenvector of two particles' relative coordinate and total momentum, we establish the bosonic operator version of the Hamiltonian for a quantum point-mass pendulum. The Hamiltonian displays the correct Schrodinger equation in the entangled state representation. The corresponding Heisenberg operator equations which predict the angular momentum–angle uncertainty relation are derived. The quantum operator description of two quantum pendulums coupled by a spring is also derived.
