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.

Relation of squeezed states between damped harmonic and simple harmonic oscillators

Chung‐In Um, Kyu-Hwang Yeon, Thomas F. George +1 more

The minimum uncertainty and other relations are evaluated in the framework of the coherent states of the damped harmonic oscillator. It is shown that the coherent states of the damped harmonic oscillator are the squeezed coherent states of the simple harmonic oscillator. The unitary operator is also constructed, and this connects coherent states with damped harmonic and simple harmonic oscillators.

Quasi-coherent states for damped and forced harmonic oscillator

Mustafa Dernek, Nuri Ünal

In this study, first we construct the quasi-coherent states for a damped and forced harmonic oscillator and discuss the transition of the system from the damped oscillations to forced steady state oscillations. Second, we generalize the Caldirola-Kanai Hamiltonian into the new systems such as the frequency and the mass parameters are time dependent and discuss three examples of them.

Coherent states for the time-dependent harmonic oscillator

John G. Hartley, John R. Ray

Exact coherent states for the time-dependent harmonic oscillator are constructed. These new coherent states have most, but not all, of the properties of the coherent states for the time-independent oscillator. For example, these coherent states give the exact classical motion, but they are not minimum-uncertainty states.

Coherent state and the damped harmonic oscillator

Gautam Kumar Ghosh, Rainer W. Hasse

Although the method of dual coordinates has been employed in the literature to quantize the damped harmonic oscillator, one cannot reproduce the proper classical limit by this method. This is shown by constructing operators which have the correct damped behavior and obtaining coherent states as their eigenstates. These states turn out to be nonnormalizable; this is shown to be due to the unphysical nature of the Hamiltonian employed in the method of dual coordinates.

Exact wave functions and coherent states of a damped driven harmonic oscillator

H. G. Oh, H. R. Lee, Thomas F. George +1 more

For a damped harmonic oscillator forced by a time-dependent field, the exact wave function is obtained by three different methods: (i) path integral, (ii) second quantization, and (iii) dynamical invariant. The explicit form of the dynamical invariant involves a solution to a corresponding auxiliary equation. The coherent states, defined as eigenstates of a new destruction operator, form a nonorthogonal, overcomplete set and correspond to the minimum uncertainty states. These coherent states give the exact classical motion of the damped driven harmonic oscillator.
