Abstract

Time dependent entropy of harmonic oscillator with time dependent mass and frequency are investigated. The joint entropy so called Leipnik's entropy is calculated by using time dependent wave function obtained by the Feynman path integral method. It is shown that, Leipnik's entropy fluctuates with time. However in constant mass and time dependent frequency case, entropy increases monotonically with time.

Time Dependent Entropy of Constant Force Motion

Ozcan, O., Ethem Aktürk, R. Sever

Time dependent entropy of constant force motion is investigated. Their joint entropy so called Leipnik's entropy is obtained. The main purpose of this work is to calculate Leipnik's entropy by using time dependent wave function which is obtained by the Feynman path integral method. It is found that, in this case, the Leipnik's entropy increase with time and this result has same behavior free particle case.

Time Dependent Entropy of Constant Force Motion

ÖZCAN, Özgür, AKTÜRK, Ethem, SEVER, Ramazan

Time dependent entropy of constant force motion is investigated. Obtained is the joint entropy, also known as the Leipnik entropy. The main purpose of this work is to calculate the Leipnik entropy via a time dependent wave function which is obtained by the Feynman path integral method. For this case it is found the Leipnik entropy increases with time, and is the same behavior as in the free particle case.

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.

Time Dependent Entropy and Decoherence in a Modified Quantum Damped Harmonic Oscillator

François Béceau Pelap, Anaclet Fomethe, A. J. Fotué +1 more

The time dependence of probability and Shannon entropy of a modified damped harmonic oscillator is studied by using single and double Gaussian wave functions through the Feynman path method. We establish that the damped coefficient as well as the system frequency and the distance separating two consecutive waves of the initial double Gaussian function influences the coherence of the system and can be used to control its decoherence.

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.
