$sl(2)$ variational schemes for solving one class of quantum nonlinear models

Abstract

Hamiltonians of a wide-spread class of $G_{inv}$-invariant nonlinear quantum models, including multiboson and frequency conversion ones, are expressed as non-linear functions of $sl(2)$ generators. It enables us to use standard variational schemes, based on $sl(2)$ generalized coherent states as trial functions, for solving both spectral and evolution tasks. In such a manner a new analytical expression is found for energy spectra in a mean-field approximation which is beyond quasi-equidistant ones obtained earlier.

A Nonlinear $sl(2)$ Dynamics and New Quasiclassical Solutions for a Class of Quantum Coupled Systems

V. P. Karassiov

Hamiltonians of a wide-spread class of strongly coupled quantum system models are expressed as nonlinear functions of $sl(2)$ generators. It enables us to use the $sl(2)$ formalism, in particular, $sl(2)$ generalized coherent states (GCS) for solving both spectral and evolution tasks. In such a manner, using standard variational schemes with $sl(2)$ GCS as trial functions we find new analytical expressions for energy spectra and non-linear evolution equations for cluster dynamics variables in mean-field approximations which are beyond quasi-harmonic ones obtained earlier. General results are illustrated on certain concrete models of quantum optics and laser physics.

Introduction to the Coherent States Approach for Solving Non-linear Physical Problems

O. Pavón-Torres, José Manuel Dávila, Máximo Augusto Agüero Granados

We summarize some crucial results from mathematical models that help us understand the relevance of gener-alized coherent states (GCS), a fundamental method used for the description of non-linear problems in physics. We mainly concentrate our review in the following models: ferromagnetism, nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation with external potential, nonlinear quantum oscillators, Bose - Einstein condensation (BEC) and the DNA quasi-spin model. Such models and some applications of the wide variety these involve are outlined. As variational trial states, the coherent states (CS) allow the estimation of the ground state energies and properties, yielding results which become exact in a number of nonlinear differential equations for dynamical variable of each model. Mainly we concentrate our review on two types of coherent states, The first one are based on the Heisenberg - Weyl group where it is applied the bosonization effect. The second one is based on the SU(2)/U(1) Lie group. For this case when the Hamiltonian and all physical operators are constructed by the elements of a Lie algebra, the generalized coherent states approach is directly applied without bozonization.

Exact solution for a class of quantum models of interacting bosons

V. S. Shchesnovich

Abstract Quantum models of interacting bosons have a wide range of applications, including the propagation of optical modes in nonlinear media, such as the k-photon down-conversion. Many of these models are related to nonlinear deformations of finite group algebras and, in this sense, are exactly solvable. While advanced group-theoretic methods were developed to study the eigenvalue spectrum, in quantum optics, the primary focus is not on the spectrum of the Hamiltonian but rather on the evolution of an initial state—such as the generation of optical signal modes by a strong pump mode propagating through a nonlinear medium. I propose a simple and general method to solve the state evolution problem, applicable to a broad class of quantum models of interacting bosons. For the k-photon down-conversion model and its generalizations, the solution to the state evolution problem is expressed as an infinite series expansion in powers of the propagation time, with coefficients determined by a recursion relation involving only a single polynomial function. This polynomial function is unique to each nonlinear model. As an application, I compare the exact solution of the parametric down-conversion process with the semiclassical parametric approximation.

Non-Gaussian variational wave functions for interacting bosons on a lattice

Tian Qian, José J. Fernández-Melgarejo, David Zueco +1 more

A variational method for studying the ground state of strongly interacting quantum many-body bosonic systems is presented. Our approach constructs a class of extensive variational non-Gaussian wave functions which extend Gaussian states by means of nonlinear canonical transformations (NLCTs) on the fields of the theory under consideration. We illustrate this method with the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model for which the proposal presented here provides a family of approximate ground states at arbitrarily large values of the interaction strength. We find that, for different values of the interaction, the non-Gaussian NLCT-trial states sensibly improve the ground-state energy estimation when the system is in the Mott phase.

Nonlinear dynamics from linear quantum evolutions

Florio M. Ciaglia, Fabio Di Cosmo, Armando Figueroa +5 more

Linear dynamics restricted to invariant submanifolds generally gives rise to nonlinear dynamics. Submanifolds in the quantum framework may emerge for several reasons: one could be interested in specific properties possessed by a given family of states, either as a consequence of experimental constraints or inside an approximation scheme. In this work we investigate such issues in connection with a one parameter group $\phi_t$ of transformations on a Hilbert space, $\mathcal{H}$, defining the unitary evolutions of a chosen quantum system. Two procedures will be presented: the first one consists in the restriction of the vector field associated with the Schr\"{o}dinger equation to a submanifold invariant under the flow $\phi_t$. The second one makes use of the Lagrangian formalism and can be extended also to non-invariant submanifolds, even if in such a case the resulting dynamics is only an approximation of the flow $\phi_t$. Such a result, therefore, should be conceived as a generalization of the variational method already employed for stationary problems.
