On the Relativistic Harmonic Oscillator

The relativistic harmonic oscillator represents a unique energy-conserving oscillatory system. The detailed characteristics of the solution of this oscillator are displayed in both weak- and extreme-relativistic limits using different expansion procedures, for each limit. In the weak-relativistic limit, a Normal Form expansion is developed, which yields an approximation to the solution that is significantly better than in traditional asymptotic expansion procedures. In the extreme-relativistic limit, an expansion of the solution in terms of a small parameter that measures the proximity to the limit (v/c) →1 yields an excellent approximation for the solution throughout the whole period of oscillations. The variation of the coefficients of the Fourier expansion of the solution from the weak- to the extreme-relativistic limits is displayed.

Loop Quantum Gravity Harmonic Oscillator

Attempts to unify Gravity Theory and Quantum Field Theory (QFT) under Loop Quantum Gravity Theory (LQG), are diverse;a dividing line between classical and quantum is sought with Schrödinger cat-state experiments. A Primordial Field Theory-based alternative is presented, and a gravity-based harmonic oscillator developed. With quantum theory applied at micro-scales and gravity theory at meso- and macro-scales, this scale-gap contributes to the conceptual problems associated with Loop Quantum Gravity. Primordial field theory, spanning all scales, is used to conceptually stretch key ideas across this gap. An LQG interpretation of the wave function associated with the oscillator is explained.

A Model Effective Mass Quantum Anharmonic Oscillator and Its Thermodynamic Characterization

Using a model anharmonic oscillator with asymptotically decreasing effective mass to study the effect of compositional grading on the quantum mechanical properties of a semiconductor heterostructure, we determine the exact bound states and spectral values of the system. Furthermore, we show that ordering ambiguity only brings about a spectral shift on the quantum anharmonic oscillator with spatially varying effective mass. A study of thermodynamic properties of the system reveals a resonance condition dependent on the magnitude of the anharmonicity parameter. This resonance condition is seen to set a critical value on the said parameter beyond which a complex valued entropy which is discussed, emerges.

It is found that the energy spectrum of the system is determined by one-boson excitation energies built on a vector coherent state of Sp(4, R) U(2).

Sampled-data synchronization of coupled harmonic oscillators with controller failure and communication delays

In this letter, a distributed protocol for sampled-data synchronization of coupled harmonic oscillators with controller failure and communication delays is proposed, and a brief procedure of convergence analysis for such algorithm over undirected connected graphs is provided. Furthermore, a simple yet generic criterion is also presented to guarantee synchronized oscillatory motions in coupled harmonic oscillators. Subsequently, the simulation results are worked out to demonstrate the efficiency and feasibility of the theoretical results.

Stochastic Resonance in a Harmonic Oscillator Fluctuating Intrinsic Frequency by Asymmetric Dichotomous Noise

The stochastic resonance phenomenon in a harmonic oscillator with fluctuating intrinsic frequency by asymmetric dichotomous noise is investigated in this paper. By using the random average method and Shapiro- Loginov formula, the exact solution of the average output amplitude gain （OAG） is obtained. Numerical results show that OAG depends non-monotonically on the noise characteristics： intensity, correlation time and asymmetry. The maximum OAG can be achieved by tuning the noise asymmetry and or the noise correlation time.

Collective stochastic resonance behaviors of two coupled harmonic oscillators driven by dichotomous fluctuating frequency

The collective behaviors of two coupled harmonic oscillators with dichotomous fluctuating frequency are investigated,including stability, synchronization, and stochastic resonance(SR). First, the synchronization condition of the system is obtained. When this condition is satisfied, the mean-field behavior is consistent with any single particle behavior in the system. On this basis, the stability condition and the exact steady-state solution of the system are derived. Comparative analysis shows that, the stability condition is stronger than the synchronization condition, that is to say, when the stability condition is satisfied, the system is both synchronous and stable. Simulation analysis indicates that increasing the coupling strength will reduce the synchronization time. In weak coupling region, there is an optimal coupling strength that maximizes the output amplitude gain(OAG), thus the coupling-induced SR behavior occurs. In strong coupling region, the two particles are bounded as a whole, so that the coupling effect gradually disappears.

Anomalous Dissipative Quantum Harmonic Oscillator

We investigate the low-temperature statistical properties of a harmonic oscillator coupled to a heat bath, where the low-frequency spectrum vanishes. We obtain the exact result of the zero point energy. Due to the low frequency shortage of environmental oscillators＇ spectral density, the coordinate and momentum correlation functions decay as T^-4 arid T^-6 respectively at zero temperature, where T is the correlation time. The low-temperature behavior of the mean energy does not violate the third law of thermodynamics, but differs largely from the Ohmic spectrum case.

Forced Time-Dependent Harmonic Oscillators in Non-Commutative Space

For the time-dependent harmonic oscillator and generalized harmonic oscillator with or without external forces in non-commutative space, wave functions, and geometric phases are derived using the Lewis-Riesenfeld invariant. Coherent states are obtedned as the ground state of the forced system. Quantum fluctuations are calculated too. It is seen that geometric phases and quantum fluctuations are greatly affected by the non-commutativity of the space.

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

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 Schrodinger 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 eases 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 some parametric moving boundaries as well.

The explicit expressions of the eigenvalue and eigenfunction for such a system are given, they have the same forms as those for the usual harmonic oscillator with constant mass. The coherent state and its properties corresponding effective potentials for several mass functions, for the system with PDM are also discussed. We give the the systems with such potentials are isospectral to the usual harmonic oscillator.

Generalized Fourth-Order Decompositions of Imaginary Time Path Integral:Implications of the Harmonic Oscillator

The imaginary time path integral formalism offers a powerful numerical tool for simulating thermodynamic properties of realistic systems.We show that,when second-order and fourth-order decompositions are employed,they share a remarkable unified analytic form for the partition function of the harmonic oscillator.We are then able to obtain the expression of the thermodynamic property and the leading error terms as well.In order to obtain reasonably optimal values of the free parameters in the generalized symmetric fourth-order decomposition scheme,we eliminate the leading error terms to achieve the accuracy of desired order for the thermodynamic property of the harmonic system.Such a strategy leads to an efficient fourth-order decomposition that produces thirdorder accurate thermodynamic properties for general systems.

It turns out that the matrix elements are just related to Gegenbauer polynomial and Hypergeometric function respectively. The 1st- and 2nd-order corrections to the energy levels and the 1st-order correction to wave functions of harmonic oscillator are deduced.

Strategies for h-Adaptive Refinement for a Finite Element Treatment of Harmonic Oscillator Schrodinger Eigenproblem

A Schrodinger eigenvalue problem is solved for the 219 quantum simple harmonic oscillator using a finite element discretization of real space within which elements are adaptively spatially refined. We compare two competing methods of adaptively discretizing the real-space grid on which computations are performed without modifying the standard polynomial basis-set traditionally used in finite element interpolations; namely, （i） an application of the Kelly error estimator, and （ii） a refinement based on the local potential level. When the performance of these methods are compared to standard uniform global refinement, we find that they significantly improve the total time spent in the eigensolver.
