Position and momentum uncertainties of the normal and inverted harmonic oscillators under the minimal length uncertainty relation

Zachary Lewis, Tatsu Takeuchi

We analyze the position and momentum uncertainties of the energy eigenstates of the harmonic oscillator in the context of a deformed quantum mechanics, namely, that in which the commutator between the position and momentum operators is given by $[\stackrel{^}{x},\stackrel{^}{p}]=i\ensuremath{\hbar}(1+\ensuremath{\beta}{\stackrel{^}{p}}^{2})$. This deformed commutation relation leads to the minimal length uncertainty relation $\ensuremath{\Delta}x\ensuremath{\ge}(\ensuremath{\hbar}/2)(1/\ensuremath{\Delta}p+\ensuremath{\beta}\ensuremath{\Delta}p)$, which implies that $\ensuremath{\Delta}x\ensuremath{\sim}1/\ensuremath{\Delta}p$ at small $\ensuremath{\Delta}p$ while $\ensuremath{\Delta}x\ensuremath{\sim}\ensuremath{\Delta}p$ at large $\ensuremath{\Delta}p$. We find that the uncertainties of the energy eigenstates of the normal harmonic oscillator ($m>0$), derived in L. N. Chang, D. Minic, N. Okamura, and T. Takeuchi, Phys. Rev. D 65, 125027 (2002), only populate the $\ensuremath{\Delta}x\ensuremath{\sim}1/\ensuremath{\Delta}p$ branch. The other branch, $\ensuremath{\Delta}x\ensuremath{\sim}\ensuremath{\Delta}p$, is found to be populated by the energy eigenstates of the ``inverted'' harmonic oscillator ($m<0$). The Hilbert space in the inverted case admits an infinite ladder of positive energy eigenstates provided that $\ensuremath{\Delta}{x}_{\mathrm{min}}=\ensuremath{\hbar}\sqrt{\ensuremath{\beta}}>\sqrt{2}[{\ensuremath{\hbar}}^{2}/k|m|{]}^{1/4}$. Correspondence with the classical limit is also discussed.

Quantum uncertainty relation saturated by the eigenstates of the harmonic oscillator

Aikaterini Mandilara, Nicolas J. Cerf

We rederive the Schr\"odinger-Robertson uncertainty principle for the position and momentum of a quantum particle. Our derivation does not directly employ commutation relations, but works by reduction to an eigenvalue problem related to the harmonic oscillator, which can then be further exploited to find a larger class of constrained uncertainty relations. We derive an uncertainty relation under the constraint of a fixed degree of Gaussianity and prove that, remarkably, it is saturated by all eigenstates of the harmonic oscillator. This goes beyond the common knowledge that the (Gaussian) ground state of the harmonic oscillator saturates the uncertainty relation.

Entropic uncertainty relations for a quantum oscillator

Vladimír Majerník, Tomáš Opatrný

We calculated the Shannon entropy of position and momentum for the stationary quantum states of the harmonic oscillator as a function of its energy and determined the corresponding entropic uncertainty relations for them. We found an approximate phenomenological function for the dependence of position and momentum entropies on the large quantum numbers and the corresponding asymptotic entropy - energy relation for the stationary harmonic oscillator. We also studied the time evolution of the position and momentum entropies of the non-stationary harmonic oscillator for the coherent states, squeezed vacuum and Schrödinger cat states.

Quantum mechanics and semiclassical approximations for a harmonic oscillator in half space

Peng Ni, Quanhui Liu, Zhu Shu-jun

The elementary quantum-mechanical results for the harmonic oscillator in half space are carried out, including expectation values for position, momentum and their square, the uncertainty relation in the eigenstates. Since the result of expectation value for position is quite complicated, the Heisenberg correspondence principle is used to give one of its approximate expressions, and the expression proves to be very accurate by numerical calculations.
