Abstract

Abstract The Green's functions for the simplest quantum mechanical systems the linear harmonic oscillator, the three‐dimensional isotropic oscillator, the Morse oscillator, the Kratcer potential, and the double‐minimum potential V(x) = (mw2/2)(/x/−R)2 are presented in closed analytical forms.

Harmonic oscillator Green functions

D. B. Khrebtukov, J. H. Macek

The Green function for the Schrödinger equation with an isotropic, three-dimensional harmonic-oscillator potential is given in closed form. A similar closed form is obtained when the Schrödinger equation also contains a magnetic interaction and the magnetic field is such that the precession and oscillation frequencies are equal. The latter Green function is used to obtain energy and Sturmian eigenvalues that occur in the theory of atom-atom collisions.

Constructing Green functions of the Schrödinger equation by elementary transformations

Gin-yih Tsaur, Jyhpyng Wang

The initial value problem in quantum mechanics is most conveniently solved by the Green function method. Instead of the conventional methods of eigenfunction expansion and path integration, we present a new method for constructing the Green functions systematically. By using suitable elementary transformations, one of the conjugate variables in the Hamiltonian can be eliminated and the Green function for the simplified Hamiltonian can be easily derived. We then obtain the Green function for the original Hamiltonian by the reverse sequence of the elementary transformations. The method is illustrated for the linear potential, the harmonic oscillator, the centrifugal potential, and the centripetal barrier oscillator.

Method for calculating analytical solutions of the Schrödinger equation: Anharmonic oscillators and generalized Morse oscillators

Lubomír Skála, Jakub Čı́žek, J. Dvořák +1 more

A method for calculating the analytical solutions of the one-dimensional Schr\"odinger equation is suggested. A general discussion of the possible forms of the potentials and wave functions that are necessary to get the analytical solution is presented. In general, the analytical solutions appear in multiplets corresponding to the quantum number n of the harmonic oscillator. As an application, known solutions for the anharmonic oscillators are critically recalculated and a few additional results are found. Analytical solutions are also found for the generalized Morse oscillators. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

Resolution of the Schrödinger equation through a simple algebraic technique

Francisco Marcelo Fernández, Eduardo Alberto Castro

It is shown that the eigenvalues of the simple quantum-mechanical models usually studied in the first courses on Quantum Mechanics can be obtained through a very simple algebraic technique. The N-dimensional hydrogen atom, the N-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator, and the Morse oscillator are discussed as illustrative examples.

Wave Mechanics in Quantum Phase Space: Harmonic Oscillator

Jun Lu

In this paper, we solve the rigorous solutions of the stationary Schrödinger equations for the harmonic oscillator within the framework of the quantum phase-space representation established by Torres-Vega and Frederick. We obtain the phase-space eigenfunctions of the three-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator in rectangular and spherical coordinate systems, and discuss the relationship between the eigenfunctions of the two coordinate systems. We also extend the "Fourier-like" projection transformations of the phase-space wave function to three-dimensional systems, and obtain the eigenfunctions in position and momentum representation through the transformations of the eigenfunction in the phase-space representation.

Green's function for dissipative quantum systems and its relation to nonlinear evolution equations

Dieter Schuch

Quantum systems interacting with a dissipative environment can effectively be described by a nonlinear modification of the Schrodinger equation. For some standard problems that possess analytical solutions, e.g. the free motion and the harmonic oscillator, also the nonlinear equation can be solved in a closed form and has Gaussian-shaped wave packet solutions. The equation determining the time-evolution of the wave-packet width is - already in the case of the usual conservative Schrodinger equation - nonlinear and provides the quantities that are necessary to construct the Green’s function for the respective system. The Green’s functions for the conservative and dissipative cases will be given explicitly in position and momentum space.
