The authors presents a calculation of the matrix elements of z n between four-dimensional harmonic oscillator states. It is shown that a knowledge of the scalar product of two harmonic oscillator states of different frequencies is enough to generate the matrix elements of any power of z. These can be found by taking appropriate derivatives of the aforementioned scalar product.

Based on the normally ordered form of operat or(f■+g■)k,the general formula of its matrix element for harmonic oscillator is deduced compactly by virtue of the relation between un-normalized coherent state and harmonic oscillator's eigenstate,and the result is also discussed.It is clear that this adopted method is very simply and concise.

Multidimensional harmonic oscillator matrix elements

Francisco Marcelo Fernández, Richard H. Tipping

Multidimensional harmonic oscillator matrix elements of arbitrary products of exponentials for operators containing only linear and quadratic terms in the creation and annihilation operators are obtained. A simple and straightforward method is presented that leads to recurrence relations and generating functions for such matrix elements. Results are shown to be general enough to cover the cases of Franck–Condon overlaps, transition probabilities for time-dependent harmonic oscillators, and correlation functions for electronic spectra.
