Physical Review A

Unitary operator for an arbitrary number of coupled identical oscillators

Abstract

In view of a recent paper [F. Michelot, Phys. Rev. A 45, 4271 (1992)] tackling the Hamiltonian of an arbitrary number of harmonically coupled oscillators, we present a coordinate representation of the unitary operator that can diagonalize the Hamiltonian. The normally ordered form of the unitary operator, which manifestly connects two Fock spaces associated with the uncoupled and coupled oscillators, is also derived by virtue of the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators.

Unitary transformation for four harmonically coupled identical oscillators

Fan Hong-Yi

A unitary operator U, which can transform the Fock space of a four-dimensional oscillator into the space in which the Hamiltonian of four harmonically coupled identical one-dimensional harmonic oscillators is diagonalized, is found. The coordinate representation of U is presented and is used to directly derive the wave function of the energy eigenstate of the coupled oscillators. The normally ordered form of U is also deduced with the use of integration within an ordered product.

Solution for an arbitrary number of coupled identical oscillators

F. Michelot

We propose a solution to the problem of solving the Schr\"odinger equation for an arbitrary number of identical one-dimensional harmonically coupled oscillators raised by Fan Hong-yi [Phys. Rev. A 42, 4377 (1990)]. The relationship between the Fock spaces associated with the uncoupled and coupled oscillators is given as well as the coordinate representation of the eigenstates. In view of further applications, the Lie algebraic properties of the model are examined, and the generalization to three spatial dimensions is made.

A new unitary operator for a pair of coupled oscillators

Hong-Yi Fan

Using the IWOP (integration within ordered product) technique, a new unitary operator is found that is useful in diagonizing the Hamiltonian of a pair of coupled harmonic oscillators. The coordinate representation of the unitary operator is presented, and is well applied to obtain the wave function of energy eigenstate of the coupled oscillator.

New unitary transformation for the three coupled oscillators

Fan Hong‐Yi

Abstract A new unitary operator U, which can transform the Fock space of a three‐dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator into the space in which the Hamiltion of three coupled oscillators is diagonized, is found. The coordinate representation of U is presented and is used to directly derive the wave function of the energy eigenstate of the coupled oscillators.

General Formalism for Mapping of Two-Mode Classical Canonical Transformations to Quantum Unitary operators

Hong-Yi Fan

Two types of canonical transformations in two-mode classical phase space are mapped into the quantum mechanical Hilbert space to produce some new normally ordered unitary operators. These operators are evaluated in the coordinate (momentum) representations using the "integration within ordered product" technique, and the mapping is manifestly apparent in the derivation. New generalized coherent states are constructed in terms of these operators, and the uncertainty relations for these states are analysed.

Simple construction of the unitary operator to transform from individual particles to Jacobi coordinates

Fan Hong‐Yi, Jack Vanderlinde

The unitary operator for transforming individual particles' coordinates to Jacobi coordinates is constructed in terms of a simple mapping of the classical transformation to quantum Hilbert space in Dirac's coordinate representation. The corresponding normally ordered form of the unitary operator is easily obtained by integration within ordered products.
