Integrals of the motion and green functions for time-dependent mass harmonic oscillators

Published Jan 30, 2018• 6 citations
Publisher

Abstract

The application of the integrals of the motion of a quantum system in deriving Green function or propagator is established. The Greenfunction is shown to be the eigenfunction of the integrals of the motion which described initial points of the system trajectory in the phasespace. The explicit expressions for the Green functions of the damped harmonic oscillator, the harmonic oscillator with strongly pulsatingmass, and the harmonic oscillator with mass growing with time are obtained in co-ordinate representations. The connection between theintegrals of the motion method and other method such as Feynman path integral and Schwinger method are also discussed.

The propagators for time-dependent mass harmonic oscillators

Surarit Pepore

In this paper, the propagator for a harmonic oscillator with mass obeying the function of m(t)=mtan2νt is derived by the Feynman path integral method. The wave function of this oscillator is calculated by expanding the obtained propagator. The propagator for a harmonic oscillator with strongly pulsating mass is evaluated by the Schwinger method. The propagator for a harmonic oscillator with mass rapidly growing with time is calculated by applying the integrals of the motion of quantum systems. The comparison between these methods are also discussed.

Propagators for a particle in a time-dependent linear potential and a free particle

Surarit Pepore, R Biswas

In this paper, the propagators for a particle moving in a time-dependent linear potential and a free particle with linear damping are calculated by the application of the integrals of the motion of a quantum system. The propagator for a charged harmonic oscillator is derived from the Feynman path integrals and the propagator for a damped harmonic oscillator is evaluated by the Schwinger method. The relation between the integrals of the motion, Feynman path integrals, and Schwinger method are also described.

Path Integral for a Harmonic Oscillator with Time-Dependent Mass and Frequency

Surarit Pepore, P. Winotai, Tanakorn Osotchan +1 more

The exact solutions to the time-dependent Schrodinger equation for a harmonic oscillator with time-dependent mass and frequency were derived in a general form. The quantum mechanical propagator was calculated by the Feynman path integral method, while the wave function was derived from the spectral representation of the obtained propagator. It was shown that the propagator and the wave function depended on the s solution of a classical oscillator, in which the amplitude and phase satisfied the auxiliary equations. To demonstrate the derivation of the solution from our auxiliary equations, exponential and periodic functions of mass with constant frequency were imposed to evaluate the propagator and wave function for the Caldirola-Kanai and pulsating mass oscillators, respectively.

Schwinger Method and Feynman Path Integral for a Harmonic Oscillator with Mass Growing with Time

Surarit Pepore, Bodinchat Sukbot

The exact propagator for a harmonic oscillator with mass growing like m(1+ατ )2 where m and α are constants and τ is time, is derived by the Schwinger method and the Feynman path integral. In the Schwinger formalism, the propagator can be calculated by basic operator algebra and elementary integrations. In the Feynman path integral method, it can be shown that such a propagator can be evaluated from that for a classical action with the application of a Pauli-Van Vleck formula.

The initial value problem method for time-dependent harmonic oscillator

Surarit Pepore

The initial value problem method is formulated to calculate the propagator for time- dependent harmonic oscillators. The method is based on finding the initial position operator from Heisenberg equations. The investigated models in this paper are the damped harmonic oscillator, the harmonic oscillator with strongly pulsating mass, and the harmonic oscillator with mass growing with time. The comparison of the initial value problem method with Feynman path integral and Schwinger method is also described.
