Ambiguities in the Regularization of the Spiked Harmonic Oscillator

It has been suggested that the machinery of PT-symmetric quantum mechanics can be utilized to regularize certain singular potentials. In this contribution I point out that different regularizations lead to different results. In a particular model, that of the spiked harmonic oscillator, I use a symmetry inherent in the model to cast some light on this ambiguity.

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.

Velocity Quantization Approach of the One-Dimensional Dissipative Harmonic Oscillator

Given a constant of motion for the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator with linear dissipation in the velocity, the problem to get the Hamiltonian for this system is pointed out, and the quantization up to second order in the perturbation approach is used to determine the modification on the eigenvalues when dissipation is taken into consideration. This quantization is realized using the constant of motion instead of the Hamiltonian. PACS: 03.20.+i, 03.30.+p, 03.65.−w,03.65.Ca     

Time-Dependent 2D Harmonic Oscillator in Presence of the Aharanov-Bohm Effect

We use the Lewis-Riesenfeld theory to determine the exact form of the wavefunctions of a two-dimensionnal harmonic oscillator with time-dependent mass and frequency in presence of the Aharonov-Bohm effect (AB). We find that the auxiliary equation is independent of the AB magnetic flux. In the particular case of quantized AB magnetic flux the wavefunctions coincide exactly with the wavefunctions of the 2D time-dependent harmonic oscillator. PACS: 03.65Ge; 03.65Fd; 03.65Bz     

Restricted Constant of Motion for the One-Dimensional Harmonic Oscillator with Quadratic Dissipation and Some Consequences in Statistic and Quantum Mechanics

A restricted constant of motion, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian, for the harmonic oscillator with quadratic dissipation is deduced. The restriction comes from the consideration of the constant of motion for the velocity of the particle either for v 0 or for v < 0. A study is done about the implications that these restricted variables have on the specific heat of a thermodynamical system of oscillators with this dissipation, and on the quantization of this dissipative system.     

Study of Certain Aspects of Anharmonic,Time-Dependent and Damped Harmonic Oscillator Systems

The present review is devoted to the study of certain aspects of anharmonic, time-dependent and damped oscillator(s) system using different theoretical techniques. A theoretical understanding of these systems is important for application in many problems in physics, mechanics and other fields. We discuss in detail the difficulties in the theoretical analysis of the problem. In particular we discuss here the regular, well-behaved perturbative solution, the large quantum number behaviour of anharmonic oscillator(s) using the technique of coherent states, exact solution of quantum anharmonic oscillators, the electromagnetic radiation emitted by a charged particle executing damped anharmonic oscillator motion using Krylov-Bogoliubov approximation method, use of invariants to obtain solution and coherent states of time-dependent oscillator(s), the derivation of perturbative frequencies of a damped coupled anharmonic oscillators system using suitable canonical transformation in the framework of Hamilton-Jacobi formalism and the quantisation and construction of coherent states of a damped oscillator using time-dependent operators.     

Exact Time-Dependent Wave Functions of a Confined Time-Dependent Harmonic Oscillator with Two Moving Boundaries

By applying the standard analytical techniques of solving partial differential equations, we have obtained the exact solution in terms of the Fourier sine series to the time-dependent Schrödinger equation describing a quantum one-dimensional harmonic oscillator of time-dependent frequency confined in an infinite square well with the two walls moving along some parametric trajectories. Based upon the orthonormal basis of quasi-stationary wave functions, the exact propagator of the system has also been analytically derived. Special cases like (i) a confined free particle, (ii) a confined time-independent harmonic oscillator, and (iii) an aging oscillator are examined, and the corresponding time-dependent wave functions are explicitly determined. Besides, the approach has been extended to solve the case of a confined generalized time-dependent harmonic oscillator for someparametric moving boundaries as well.

Through the Heisenberg correspondence principle, the quantum solution and the classical solution are connected together.     

Asymptotic Behavior of the Quantum Harmonic Oscillator Driven by a Random Time-Dependent Electric Field

This paper investigates the evolution of the state vector of a charged quantum particle in a harmonic oscillator driven by a time-dependent electric field. The external field randomly oscillates and its amplitude is small but it acts long enough so that we can solve the problem in the asymptotic framework corresponding to a field amplitude which tends to zero and a field duration which tends to infinity. We describe the effective evolution equation of the state vector, which reads as a stochastic partial differential equation. We explicitly describe the transition probabilities, which are characterized by a polynomial decay of the probabilities corresponding to the low-energy eigenstates, and give the exact statistical distribution of the energy of the particle.     

Constants of Motion for Several One-Dimensional Systems and Problems Associated with Getting Their Hamiltonians

The constants of motion of the following systems are deduced: a relativistic particle with linear dissipation; a no-relativistic particle with a time explicitly depending force; a no-relativistic particle with a constant force and time depending mass; and a relativistic particle under a conservative force with position depending mass. The Hamiltonian for these systems, which is determined by getting the velocity as a function of position and generalized linear momentum, can be found explicitly at first approximation for the first system. The Hamiltonians for the other systems are kept implicitly in their expressions for their constants of motion.

In this article, behavioral differences of time-dependent harmonic oscillator in Commutative space and Non-Commutative phase space have been investigated. The considered harmonic oscillator has a time-dependent angular frequency and mass which are function of time. First, the time-dependent harmonic oscillator is studied in commutative space, then similar calculation is done for considered harmonic oscillator in Non-Commutative phase space. During this article method of Lewis–Riesenfeld dynamical invariant has been employed.     

The Exact Solution,Berry's Phase and Coherent State for the Driven Generalized Time-Dependent Harmonic Oscillator

The Lewis'invariant and exact solution for the driven generalized time-dependent harmonic oscillator is found by making use of the Lewis-Riesenfeld quantum theory. Then, the adiabatic asymptotic limit of the exact solution is discussed and the Berry's phase for thirr system is obtained. We then proceed to use the exact solution to construct the coherent state and calculate the corresponding exact classical phase angle. This phase angle can give the Hannay's angle in the adiabatic limit. The relation between the exact Lewis'phase and the corresponding classical phase angle L'discusrred.
