Abstract

The semiclassical formula of the propagator for a damped harmonic oscillator with a force quadratic in velocity is obtained by making a specific coordinate transformation and by using the method of invariant developed by Khandekar and Lawande。

A time-dependent damped harmonic oscillator with a nonconservative force quadratic in velocity (THOFQV) is described by an appropriate Lagrangian,and hence the general solution of THOFQV can be found.The solution of the Schrdinger equation for the system,such as the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues,is derived by utilizing these invariant operators.

Exact evaluation of the propagator for the damped harmonic oscillator

Bin Kang Cheng

Using the Caldirola-Kanai Hamiltonian for the quantum dissipative system, the author expresses the propagator as the modified Feynman path integral in the configuration space, which can then be evaluated for the damped harmonic oscillator by Montroll's method. The propagator of the damped harmonic oscillator can also be calculated beyond and at caustics with the help of Horvathy-Feynman formula. The new results are confirmed by investigating the classical paths joining two fixed end-point positions, Finally the author obtains the time-dependent wavefunctions from the propagator of the dynamical system.

Propagator for the general time-dependent harmonic oscillator with application to an ion trap

Gal Harari, Y. Ben-Aryeh, A. Mann

We present the simplest possible formula for the propagator of the general time-dependent quadratic Hamiltonian, including linear terms. The method is based on the use of a linear time-dependent invariant and requires only the solution of a linear homogeneous second-order ordinary differential equation corresponding to the classical quadratic Hamiltonian. We give an example for the case of the Paul trap.
