Abstract

In Phys. Rev. A 69, 012102 (2004), Schreecharan, Panigrahi, and Banerji present a general algebraic procedure for constructing coherent states of a wide class of exactly solvable potentials, e.g., Morse and Poschl-Teller. I have examined coherent states of the Morse oscillator presented by the authors and have found them to have incorrect mathematical substitutions. As such, this Comment looks at the correctness of two important equations that have led to their Morse oscillator coherent states.

Coherent states for exactly solvable potentials

T. Shreecharan, Prasanta Kumar Panigrahi, J. Banerji

A general algebraic procedure for constructing coherent states of a wide class of exactly solvable potentials, e.g., Morse and P\"oschl-Teller, is given. The method, a priori, is potential independent and connects with earlier developed ones, including the oscillator-based approaches for coherent states and their generalizations. This approach can be straightforwardly extended to construct more general coherent states for the quantum-mechanical potential problems, such as the nonlinear coherent states for the oscillators. The time evolution properties of some of these coherent states show revival and fractional revival, as manifested in the autocorrelation functions, as well as, in the quantum carpet structures.

Coherent states of the Pöschl–Teller potential and their revival dynamics

Utpal Roy, J Banerji, P K Panigrahi

A recently developed algebraic approach for constructing coherent states for solvable potentials is used to obtain the displacement operator coherent state of the Pöschl–Teller potential. We establish the connection between this and the annihilation operator coherent state and compare their properties. We study the details of the revival structure arising from different time scales underlying the quadratic energy spectrum of this system.

Generalized coherent states for the Pöschl-Teller potential and a classical limit

M. G. A. Crawford, Edward R. Vrscay

Coherent states in the harmonic oscillator may be defined in several equivalent ways. One definition describes coherent states as special states satisfying a minimum-uncertainty requirement in position and momentum spaces. This definition is generalized for other potentials according to a method developed by Nieto et al. [Phys. Rev. D 20, 1321 (1979)] and is herein applied to the P\"oschl-Teller potential. A classical limit based on the harmonic-oscillator coherent-state classical limit is then developed and applied to the P\"oschl-Teller minimum-uncertainty states. In this limit, classical behavior may be obtained from these quantum states. Together with a completeness argument for the generalized coherent states, this result provides insight into quantum classical correspondence through the statistical interpretation of quantum mechanics.

We show that the problems raised by Znojil [Phys. Rev. A ▪, ▪ (2000)] preceding paper, can be resolved and that, in fact, there exist the proposed singular conditionally, exactly solvable potentials [Phys. Rev. A 47, R2435 (1993)].

New SUSYQM coherent states for Pöschl–Teller potentials: a detailed mathematical analysis

Hervé Bergeron, Petr Siegl, A Youssef

In a recent short note (Bergeron et al 2010 Europhys. Lett. 92 60003), we have presented the good properties of a new family of semi-classical states for Pöschl–Teller potentials. These states are built from a supersymmetric quantum mechanics (SUSYQM) approach and the parameters of these 'coherent' states are points in the classical phase space. In this paper, we develop all the mathematical aspects that have been left out of the previous paper (proof of the resolution of unity, detailed calculations of the quantized version of classical observables and mathematical study of the resulting operators: problems of domains, self-adjointness or self-adjoint extensions). Some additional questions such as asymptotic behavior are also studied. Moreover, the framework is extended to a larger class of Pöschl–Teller potentials. This article is part of a special issue of Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical devoted to 'Coherent states: mathematical and physical aspects'.
