The solutions of the generalized classical and quantum harmonic oscillators with time dependent mass, frequency, two-photon parameter and external force: The squeezing effects

The exact analytical solutions of a generalized classical harmonic oscillator with time dependent mass, frequency, two-photon parameter and external forces are obtained. By using the invariance property of the scaled Wronskian, these solutions are used to obtain the solutions of the quantum mechanical counterpart of the oscillator under Heisenberg picture. In order to discuss the applications of these solutions of the quantum mechanical oscillator, we calculate the exact analytical expressions for the second order variances of both the canonically conjugate quadratures in terms of the time dependent mass, frequency and two-photon parameter. However, these variances calculated in terms of the initial coherent state do not depend on the time dependent driven terms. We argued that the time dependent frequency is on the way of the exact analytical solutions and hence it is kept constant throughout the investigation. We, however, discuss few situations of physical interest where the mass is varying in time. The special circumstance where all the parameters are time independent is used to discuss the squeezing effect in both the quadratures. It is seen that the parameter g involving the two-photon interaction term produces squeezing effects. With the increase of interaction time, the squeezing in both the quadrature components exhibit collapse and revival phenomena for g < ω (frequency of the oscillator). The squeezing of X-quadrature is completely ruled out for g > ω. However, the squeezing for P-quadrature is possible for small interaction time. The squeezing patterns of the X and P-quadratures are also discussed for pulsating mass, and for mass increasing with time. The squeezing is also discussed when the mass is increasing exponentially in time. It is envisage that the solutions could be used in the investigation of quantum statistical properties of the radiation field coupled to the said oscillator.     

Even and Odd Coherent States for Time-Dependent Harmonic Oscillator

The dynamical invariant for a general time-dependent harmonic oscillator is constructed by making use of two linearly independent solutions to the classical equation of motion. In terms of this dynamical invariant we define the time-dependent creation and annihilation operators and relevantly introduce even and odd coherent states for time dependent harmonic oscillator. The mathematical and quantum statistical properties of these states are discussed in detail. The harmonic oscillator with periodically varying frequency is treated as a demonstration of our general approach.     

Gauge covariant construction of the coherent states for a time-dependent harmonic oscillator by algebraic dynamical method

Time-dependent coherent states for a time-dependent harmonic oscillator are constructed in the framework of algebraic dynamics. These coherent states are gauge-covariant, and its time evolution is governed only by the solutions of a linear differential equation which describes the motion of the corresponding classical timedependent harmonic oscillator. Its non-classical and quantum statistical properties can thus be controlled by a proper choice of the frequency of the harmonic oscillator. Our coherent states reduce to Glauber coherent states in the case as the frequency is independent of time.

Dynamics of non-linear optical processes

We study the statistical properties of parametric processes (parametric amplification, frequency conversion, splitting of frequency, etc.) described by the trilinear Hamiltonian and of the second harmonic generation including the lossy mechanism and rotating terms. In a short-time approximation some conservation laws are derived and the existence of the Glauber-Sudarshan weighting function is discussed. It is shown in the second harmonic generation case that good coherence of the incident radiation is lost proportionally to the intensity in interaction while the second harmonic radiation has tendency to be coherent. The effects of the spontaneous emission of the medium and of the physical vacuum are also discussed. In this approximation the statistics is generally described by the superposition of coherent and chaotic fields with correlated components.     

Nonlinear Quantum Optical Springs and Their Nonclassical Properties

The original idea of quantum optical spring arises from the requirement of quantization of the frequencyof oscillations in the Hamiltonian of harmonic oscillator. This purpose is achieved by consideringa spring whose constant (and so its frequency) depends on the quantum states of another system.
Recently, it is realized that by the assumption of frequencymodulation ofω toω(1+μa^\dagger a)^1/2the mentioned idea can be established.
In the present paper, we generalize the approach of quantum optical springwith particular attention to thedependence of frequency to the intensity of radiation fieldthatnaturally observes in thenonlinear coherent states}, from which we arrive ata physical system has been called by us as nonlinear quantum optical spring.Then, after the introduction of the generalized Hamiltonian of nonlinear quantum optical spring and it's solution,we will investigate the nonclassical properties of the obtained states. Specially, typical collapse and revivalin the distribution functions and squeezing parameters, as particular quantum features, will berevealed.     

Coherent States and Modified de Broglie-Bohm Complex Quantum Trajectories

This paper examines the nature of classical correspondence in the case of coherent states at the level of quantum trajectories. We first show that for a harmonic oscillator, the coherent state complex quantum trajectories and the complex classical trajectories are identical to each other. This congruence in the complex plane, not restricted to high quantum numbers alone, illustrates that the harmonic oscillator in a coherent state executes classical motion. The quantum trajectories we consider are those conceived in a modified de Broglie-Bohm scheme. Though quantum trajectory representations are widely discussed in recent years, identical classical and quantum trajectories for coherent states are obtained only in the present approach. We may note that this result for standard harmonic oscillator coherent states is not totally unexpected because of their holomorphic nature. The study is extended to coherent states of a particle in an infinite potential well and that in a symmetric Poschl-Teller potential by solving for the trajectories numerically. For the Gazeau-Klauder coherent state of the infinite potential well, almost identical classical and quantum trajectories are obtained whereas for the Poschl-Teller potential, though classical trajectories are not regained, a periodic motion results as t→∞. Similar features were found for the SUSY quantum mechanics-based coherent states of the Poschl-Teller potential too, but this time the pattern of complex trajectories is quite different from that of the previous case. Thus we find that the method is a potential tool in analyzing the properties of generalized coherent states.     

Lasers with injected signals: Fluctuations and linewidths

We consider a single mode laser coupled with an external periodic field. The statistical properties of the laser field (photon statistics) are studied under the combined action of fluctuations due to spontaneous emission processes and an external coherent signal. The main focus of our analytical and numerical investigations is on the eigenvalue spectrum, the field correlation function and the line shape function. We find that the linewidth of the single mode laser increases with increasing external field.

Quantum Dynamics in Noisy Backgrounds: from Sampling to Dissipation and Fluctuations

We investigate the dynamics of a quantum system coupled linearly to Gaussian white noise using functional methods. By performing the integration over the noisy field in the evolution operator, we get an equivalent non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, which evolves the quantum state with a dissipative dynamics. We also show that if the integration over the noisy field is done for the time evolution of the density matrix, a gain contribution from the fluctuations can be accessed in addition to the loss one from the non-hermitian Hamiltonian dynamics. We illustrate our study by computing analytically the effective non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, which we found to be the complex frequency harmonic oscillator, with a known evolution operator. It leads to space and time localisation, a common feature of noisy quantum systems in general applications.

The quantum harmonic oscillator with time-dependent mass and frequency is analyzed by using the canonical transformation method. The varying mass and frequency of the system are reduced to constant mass and frequency, and the corresponding eigenvalues and eigenvectors are derived.

Method for Finding the Exact Effective Hamiltonian of Time‐Driven Quantum Systems

Time‐driven quantum systems are important in many different fields of physics as cold atoms, solid state, optics, etc. Many of their properties are encoded in the time evolution operator or the effective Hamiltonian. Finding these operators usually requires very complex calculations that often involve some approximations. To perform this task, a systematic scheme that can be cast in the form of a symbolic computational algorithm is presented. It is suitable for periodic and non‐periodic potentials and, for convoluted systems, can also be adapted to yield numerical solutions. The method exploits the structure of the associated Lie group and a decomposition of the evolution operator on each group generator. To illustrate the use of the method, five examples are provided: harmonic oscillator with time‐dependent frequency (Paul trap), modulated optical lattice, time‐driven quantum oscillator, a step‐wise driving of a free particle, and the non‐periodic Caldirola‐Kanai Hamiltonian. To the extent of the authors' knowledge, whereas the exact form of Paul trap's evolution operator is well known, its effective Hamiltonian was until now unknown. The remaining four examples accurately reproduce previous results.     

Exact solutions for a mode of the electromagnetic field in a resonator with time-dependent characteristics of the internal medium

The problem of quantization of the electromagnetic field inside a resonator filled with a dielectric medium with time-dependent characteristics in the presence of the external alternating current is studied. The exact propagator and the coherent and Fock's states are obtained for a quantum oscillator with time-dependent frequency linearly coupled via momentum with external current. Delta-pulse excitation of the medium is considered as an example.     

Quantum-mechanical oscillator in a uniform force field

The symmetry group of an isotropic oscillator explaining additional degeneracy of its energy levels was for the first time considered by Demkov [1–3]. He directed attention to the fact that harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian symmetry was beyond the scope of usual geometric concepts and could be expressed using canonical transformations relating coordinates and momenta. We show in this paper how the symmetry properties of the harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian can be used to solve the dynamic problem of an oscillator in a uniform force field.     

Quanta and coherent states

The quantum harmonic oscillator can be considered as a composite system of indistinguishable Bose-Einstein symmetric two-level-systems (quanta). In analogy to the classical Poisson limit theorem, we show that a coherent state is the limit of a sequence of homogeneous product states (coherent spin states) and discuss statistical properties of the quanta in classical and nonclassical states.
