Factorization in the quantum mechanics with the generalized uncertainty principle

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the quantum mechanics with the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) where the commutation relation is given by [Formula: see text]. For this algebra, we obtain the eigenfunction of the momentum operator. We also study the GUP corrected quantum particle in a box. Finally, we apply the factorization method to the harmonic oscillator in the presence of a minimal observable length and obtain the energy eigenvalues by applying the perturbation method.

On the quantum mechanical solutions with minimal length uncertainty

Homa Shababi, Pouria Pedram, Won Sang Chung

In this paper, we study two generalized uncertainty principles (GUPs) including [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] which imply minimal measurable lengths. Using two momentum representations, for the former GUP, we find eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the free particle and the harmonic oscillator in terms of generalized trigonometric functions. Also, for the latter GUP, we obtain quantum mechanical solutions of a particle in a box and harmonic oscillator. Finally we investigate the statistical properties of the harmonic oscillator including partition function, internal energy, and heat capacity in the context of the first GUP.

Particle in a Box with Generalized Uncertainty Principle

Md Moniruzzaman, Liza Akter

in ordinary quantum mechanics for the position uncertainty since the minimum value for the uncertainty can be tend to zero. Different theories of quantum gravity, such as string theory, loop quantum gravity, and black hole physics, confirm a minimal observable length. Kempf et al have formulated The minimal length is a fundamental length for position measurement, although there is no lower bound a generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) by modifying the Heisenberg uncertainty principle to include an appearance of the length in quantum mechanics. In this study, we have found out the influence of the GUP on the particle for its confinement in a 1D potential box and calculated energy eigenvalues. The modified Schrödinger equation for the particle is factorized to be of second order to obtain the eigenvalues in a handy way. The obtained energy levels are modified from the usual result with GUP parameter dependency. The modification in the energy spectrum due to the GUP characterized by the presence of the minimal length has been also explored graphically.

Generalized uncertainty principle from deformed angular momentum algebra

Ahmad Adel Abutaleb

This work establishes a link between deformed angular momentum operators and modifications of the quantum uncertainty principle. Starting from an algebra in which the standard angular momentum operators are deformed by two parameters, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], we construct the corresponding momentum operators via [Formula: see text] where the radial operator [Formula: see text] is determined by the requirement that the standard momentum operator is recovered in the limit [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]. The resulting commutation relations take the form [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is a position-dependent deformation matrix. This leads to an uncertainty relation [Formula: see text] which is state-dependent, anisotropic and position-dependent. We use the term Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) in its broad sense referring to any modification of the Heisenberg relation motivated by quantum-gravity ideas. However, the model does not yield a fixed minimal length of the kind familiar from conventional GUP models (e.g. [Formula: see text]). In the isotropic, limit the trace of the deformation matrix simplifies the bound to [Formula: see text] which can be considered as a rescaling of the uncertainty constant. Our work thus provides a geometric origin for modified uncertainty relations from symmetry breaking in the rotation group, and offers a framework in which quantum-gravity effects manifest themselves through state- and direction-dependent measurement limits, without necessarily introducing a universal minimal length.

Planck scale corrections to the harmonic oscillator, coherent, and squeezed states

Pasquale Bosso, Saurya Das, Robert B. Mann

The generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) is a modification of Heisenberg's Principle predicted by several theories of quantum gravity. It consists of a modified commutator between the position and momentum. In this work, we compute potentially observable effects that GUP implies for the harmonic oscillator, coherent, and squeezed states in quantum mechanics. In particular, we rigorously analyze the GUP-perturbed harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian, defining new operators that act as ladder operators on the perturbed states. We use these operators to define the new coherent and squeezed states. We comment on potential applications.

Modification of Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Relation for a Damped Harmonic Oscillator under the Generalized Uncertainty Principle

Partho Karmaker, S. B. Faruque

We investigate the effects of the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP), which intro- duces a fundamental minimal observable length, on the quantum dynamics of a damped harmonic oscillator. By incorporating a modified Heisenberg algebra into the framework, we derive the altered uncertainty relations for damped quantum systems and examine their dependence on the discrete energy spectrum. Our analysis reveals significant devia- tions from the standard Heisenberg uncertainty relation, demonstrating that the presence of a minimal length scale fundamentally modifies the quantum-classical correspondence in dissipative systems. We present explicit expressions for the modified uncertainty relations and discuss their physical implications for quantum measurements in damped oscillatory systems. These results contribute to our understanding of quantum mechanics at length scales approaching the Planck regime and provide testable predictions for experimental verification of GUP effects in dissipative quantum systems.
