COHERENT STATES FOR UNUSUAL POTENTIALS

Published Nov 20, 2001• 13 citations

Abstract

The program to construct minimum-uncertainty coherent states for general potentials works transparently with solvable analytic potentials. However, when an analytic potential is not completely solvable, like for a double-well or the linear (gravitational) potential, there can be a conundrum. Motivated by supersymmetry concepts in higher dimensions, we show how these conundrums can be overcome.

GENERALIZED SQUEEZED STATES FROM GENERALIZED COHERENT STATES

Michael Martin Nieto

Both the coherent states and also the squeezed states of the harmonic oscillator have long been understood from the three classical points of view: the 1) displacement operator, 2) annihilation- (or ladder-) operator, and minimum-uncertainty methods. For general systems, there is the same understanding except for ladder-operator and displacement-operator squeezed states. After reviewing the known concepts, I propose a method for obtaining generalized minimum-uncertainty squeezed states, give examples, and relate it to known concepts. I comment on the remaining concept, that of general displacement-operator squeezed states.

COHERENT STATES AND SQUEEZED STATES, SUPERCOHERENT STATES AND SUPERSQUEEZED STATES

Michael Martin Nieto

This article reports on a program to obtain and understand coherent states for general systems. Most recently this has included supersymmetric systems. A byproduct of this work has been studies of squeezed and supersqueezed states. To obtain a physical understanding of these systems has always been a primary goal. In particular, in the work on supersymmetry an attempt to understand the role of Grassmann numbers in quantum mechanics has been initiated.

KLAUDER–PERELOMOV AND GAZEAU–KLAUDER COHERENT STATES FOR SOME SHAPE INVARIANT POTENTIALS

Alireza Chenaghlou, Hossein Fakhri

Firstly, the solvability of some quantum models like Eckart and Rosen–Morse II are explained on the basis of the shape invariance theory. Then, two generalized types of the Klauder–Perelomov and Gazeau–Klauder coherent states are calculated for the models. By means of calculating the Mandel parameter, it is shown that the weight distribution function of the first type coherent states obeys the Poissonian and super-Poissonian statistics, however, the weight distribution function of the second type coherent states obeys the Poissonian and sub-Poissonian statistics.
