Abstract

Several conceptual errors in a recently published paper ({\it Rev.\ Mex.\ F'{\i}s.\ E} {\bf 64} (2018) 47) dealing with the damped one-dimensional harmonic oscillator are pointed out.

Coherent states for the damped harmonic oscillator

Kyu Hwang Yeon, Chung‐In Um, Thomas F. George

Using the Caldirola-Kanai Hamiltonian for the damped harmonic oscillator, exact coherent states are constructed. These new coherent states satisfy the properties which coherent states should generally have.

Dynamics of SU(1,1) coherent states for the damped harmonic oscillator

Jeong Ryeol Choi, Kyu Hwang Yeon

Gerry, Ma, and Vrscay [Phys. Rev. A 39, 668 (1989)] studied the time evolution of SU(1,1) coherent states for the damped harmonic oscillator by introducing the Kanai-Caldirola Hamiltonian. The purposes of this Brief Report are to demonstrate that there are somewhat serious errors on their results and to correct them. Most of the figures given in their work are reproduced with correction in order to facilitate our explanation of results.

Comment on "Quantization of the damped harmonic oscillator" [Serhan et al, J. Math. Phys. 59, 082105 (2018)]

Zafar Ahmed, Sachin Kumar, A. Baishya

A recent paper [J. Math. Phys. {\bf 59}, 082105 (2018)] constructs a Hamiltonian for the (dissipative) damped harmonic oscillator. We point out that non-Hermiticity of this Hamiltonian has been ignored to find real discrete eigenvalues which are actually non-real. We emphasize that non-Hermiticity in Hamiltonian is crucial and it is a quantal signature of dissipation.
