Provided Kelvin waves, the effective Schr?dinger equation, physical quantity operators, and the corresponding path-integral formula can be obtained. In particular,the effective Planck constant defined by parameters of vortex-line motion shows the mathematical relation between the two fields. The vortexline–particle mapping may help in understanding particle motion in quantum mechanics.展开更多

By performing a unitary transformation, we first transform the Hamiltonian into a new one which describes an anisotropic harmonic oscillator with new mass and trapping frequencies interacting with the same phonon bath but with different interaction form and strength. Then employing the second-order Rayleigh–Schrodinger perturbation theory, we obtain the polaron correction to the ground-state energy. The magnetic field and anisotropic effects on the polaron correction to the ground-state energy are discussed.展开更多

The general analytical expressions for the transition probabilities are obtained, then the special cases of transition probabilities ignoring the Brownian motion from the ground state to the first few excited states are discussed. It is found that the initial-slip term not only makes the forbidden transitions between states of different parity possible but also lifts the initial value of the transition probabilities.展开更多
