Effects of elliptic oblateness on harmonic oscillator in elliptic paraboloid potential

Ping Zhu, Shunwen Zhou

The harmonic oscillator is an important and typical physical model in quantum mechanics and quantum optics. It is very important and widely used and has been confirmed by the development and application of science and technology. The harmonic oscillator in the elliptic paraboloid potential is studied and effects of the elliptic oblateness on the harmonic oscillator in the elliptic paraboloid potential are revealed. The energy of the harmonic oscillator in the elliptical paraboloid potential is quantized, which is described by two quantum numbers n, and m. Generally speaking, the maximum value of the probability density peak decreases as the extremum number of the probability density increases. However, this reduction is with oscillations and fluctuations, which shows even a maximum structure for the smaller quantum number. For the elliptic paraboloid potential, the spatial distribution of the probability density on different cutting surfaces is various. The flatter the ellipse is, the greater the probability density of the ellipse center, and the smaller the extreme of the edge peak of the probability density will be.

Thermal and Quantum Fluctuations of Harmonic Oscillator

Shigenori Tanaka, Yuto Komeiji

We discuss the positional fluctuations of a quantum harmonic oscillator in a heat bath. Analytic expressions are given for the probability distribution functions of the oscillator position in general and limiting (classical and ground state) cases.

Generalized coherent states

T. G. Philbin

In the coherent state of the harmonic oscillator, the probability density is that of the ground state subjected to an oscillation along a classical trajectory. Senitzky and others pointed out that there are states of the harmonic oscillator corresponding to an identical oscillatory displacement of the probability density of any energy eigenstate. These generalizations of the coherent state are rarely discussed, yet they furnish an interesting set of quantum states of light that combine features of number states and coherent states. Here, we give an elementary account of the quantum optics of generalized coherent states.
