Abstract

The de Broglie-Bohm quantum trajectories are found in analytically closed forms for the eigenstates and the coherent state of the Lewis-Riesenfeld (LR) invariant of a time-dependent harmonic oscillator. It is also shown that an eigenstate (a coherent state) of an invariant can be interpreted as squeezed states obtained by squeezing an eigenstate (a coherent state) of another invariant. This provides ways for a whole description of squeezed states.

The time-dependent quantum harmonic oscillator: a pedagogical approach via the Lewis–Riesenfeld dynamical invariant method

Stanley Santiago Coelho, Lucas Queiroz, Danilo T. Alves

Abstract In quantum mechanics courses, students often solve the Schrödinger equation for the harmonic oscillator with time-independent parameters. However, time-dependent quantum harmonic oscillators are relevant in modeling several problems as, for instance, the description of quantum motion of particles in traps, shortcuts to adiabaticity, generation of squeezed states, as well as quantum scalar fields evolving in expanding universes. In the present paper, we discuss, with a pedagogical approach, the quantum harmonic oscillator with time-dependent frequency via the Lewis–Riesenfeld dynamical invariant method, revisiting the main steps to obtain the wave function associated with this model, and briefly discussing the relation between this oscillator and the generation of squeezed states. As examples of didactic applications of time-dependent harmonic oscillators and the Lewis–Riesenfeld method in quantum mechanics courses, we solve the following problems: the calculation of the transition probability associated with a harmonic oscillator which undergoes jumps in its frequency, and the analysis of the dynamics of a quantum particle in a Paul trap.

Connection between classical and quantum harmonic oscillators

Kyoungho Cho, S P Kim

For a time-dependent harmonic oscillator we show a connection between the integrals of classical equations of motion and the Lewis-Riesenfeld (LR) invariant, and express the LR invariant in terms of the integrals of classical equations of motion. As applications we find the LR invariant for the Guth-Pi Hamiltonian and the asymptotic form of the LR invariant for a general time-dependent harmonic oscillator.

The evolution and two-mode squeezed states of the time-dependent two coupled harmonic oscillators

Jiangfan Li, Huang Chun-Jia, Jiang Zong-Fu +2 more

A closed solution of the Schrdinger equation for a timedependent two coupled harmonic oscillators including a driving part and a twomode coupled part is derived by adopting the LewisRiesenfeld invariant theory and properly chosen Hermitian invariant operators. The evolution operator of the system and the condition for generating twomode squeezed states are obtained. It is shown that the quantum fluctuation of squeezed states of the system is independent of the driving part, but depends on the initial states of the system.

Some Representations for Time–Dependent Harmonic Oscillator

Fan Hong-Yi, Ding Si-cong

In terms of the IWOP (integration within ordered product) technique, we construct squeezed state formulatiion for the time–dependent harmonic oscillator. The formulation is based on the Lewis-Riesenfeld quantum theory. Some other representations are also found with the same technique.

One-Parameter Squeezed Gaussian States of Time-Dependent Harmonic Oscillator

Jung Kon Kim, Sang Pyo Kim

We show that the nonlinear auxiliary equation for the invariant introduced by Lewis and Riesenfeld for a time-dependent harmonic oscillator is satisfied by the amplitude of a complex soltuion to the classical equation of motion. One-parameter squeezed Gaussian states are found whose parameter denotes the mixing of positive and negative frequency solutions. The minimization of the energy expectation value is shown to provide a criterion to select the vacuum state.

As a non-stationary system, a time-dependent quantum harmonic oscillator can also be exactly solved. One can find typical time-dependent harmonic oscillators in a system of harmonic oscillators interacting

Heisenberg-picture approach to the exact quantum motion of a time-dependent forced harmonic oscillator

Hyeong-Chan Kim, Minho Lee, Jeong‐Young Ji +1 more

In the Heisenberg picture, the generalized invariant and exact quantum motions are found for a time dependent forced harmonic oscillator. We find the eigenstate and the coherent state of the invariant and show that the dispersions of these quantum states do not depend on the external force. Our formalism is applied to two interesting cases. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.
