Problem of a Spin in a Time-Dependent Magnetic Field

David Montgomery, Th.W. Ruijgrok

Published Nov 1, 1965• 5 citations
Publisher

Abstract

The long-standing disagreement between the exact and perturbation solutions for the problem of a spin one-half particle in crossed, time-dependent, magnetic fields is resolved. The resolution is achieved by adapting the perturbation methods given by Krylov, Bogoliubov, and Mitropolskii for classical systems.

Extension of the class of exactly solvable nonstationary quantum mechanics problems

A modified factorization method for a charged particle in a time-dependent magnetic field has been developed by virtue of motion quantum integrals. Application of this method to the considered system helps to find exact solutions for a range of nonstationary potentials.

Study of Certain Aspects of Anharmonic, Time-Dependent and Damped Harmonic Oscillator Systems

Subir Kumar Bose, U. B. Dubey, N. Varma

The present review is devoted to the study of certain aspects of anharmonic, time-dependent and damped oscillator(s) system using different theoretical techniques. A theoretical understanding of these systems is important for application in many problems in physics, mechanics and other fields. We discuss in detail the difficulties in the theoretical analysis of the problem. In particular we discuss here the regular, well-behaved perturbative solution, the large quantum number behaviour of anharmonic oscillator(s) using the technique of coherent states, exact solution of quantum anharmonic oscillators, the electromagnetic radiation emitted by a charged particle executing damped anharmonic oscillator motion using Krylov-Bogoliubov approximation method, use of invariants to obtain solution and coherent states of time-dependent oscillator(s), the derivation of perturbative frequencies of a damped coupled anharmonic oscillators system using suitable canonical transformation in the framework of Hamilton-Jacobi formalism and the quantisation and construction of coherent states of a damped oscillator using time-dependent operators.

New approach to describe two coupled spins in a variable magnetic field

Yury Belousov, Roberto Grimaudo, Antonino Messina +2 more

We propose a method to describe the evolution of two spins coupled by hyperfine i nteraction in an external time- dependent magnetic field. We apply the approach to the case of hyperfine interaction with axial symmetry, which can be solved exactly in a constant, appropriately oriented magnetic field. In order to t reat t he n onstationary d ynamical p roblem, we modify the time-dependent Schrödinger equation through a change of representation that, by exploiting an instantaneous (adiabatic) basis makes the time-dependent Hamiltonian diagonal at any time instant. The solution of the transformed time-dependent Schrödinger FRVBUJPO in the form of chronologically ordered exponents with transparent pre-exponential coefficients is reported. This solution is highly simplified when an adiabatically varying magnetic field perturbs the system. The approach here proposed may be used for the perturbative treatment of other dynamical problems with no exact solution.
