Invariant operator theory for the single-photon energy in time-varying media

After the birth of quantum mechanics, the notion in physics that the frequency of light is the only factor that determines the energy of a single photon has played a fundamental role. However, under the assumption that the theory of Lewis-Riesenfeld invariants is applicable in quantum optics, it is shown in the present work that this widely accepted notion is valid only for light described by a time-independent Hamiltonian, i.e., for light in media satisfying the conditions, ε（t） = ε（0）, u（t） = u（0）, and σ（t） = 0 simultaneously. The use of the Lewis Riesenfeld invariant operator method in quantum optics leads to a marvelous result： the energy of a single photon propagating through time-varying linear media exhibits nontrivial time dependence without a change of frequency.

Time Evolution Caused by Hamiltonian Composed of Quadratic Combination of Canonical Operators and Time-Dependent Two-Mode Fresnel Operator

We show that the time-dependent two-mode Fresnel operator is just the time-evolutional unitary operator governed by the Hamiltonian composed of quadratic combination of canonical operators in the way of exhibiting SU（1,1） algebra. This is an approach for obtaining the time-dependent Hamiltonian from the preassigned time evolution in classical phase space, an approach which is in contrast to Lewis-Riesenfeld＇s invariant operator theory of treating timedependent harmonic oscillators.

Two Concepts in Optics of Anisotropic Dispersive Media and Polariton Case in Coordinate-Invariant Way

Two concepts of phenomenological optics of homogeneous, anisotropic and dispersive media are compared, the younger and more general concept of media with spatial dispersion and the older concept of (bi)-anisotropic media with material tensors for electric and magnetic induction which only depend on the frequency. The general algebraic form of the polarization vectors for the electric field and their one-dimensional projection operators is discussed without the degenerate cases of optic axis for which they become two-dimensional projection operators. Group velocity and diffraction coefficients in an approximate equation for the slowly varying amplitudes of beam solutions are calculated. As special case a polariton permittivity for isotropic media with frequency dispersion but without losses is discussed for the usual passive case and for the active case (occupation inversion of two energy levels that goes in direction of laser theory) and the group velocity is calculated. For this active case, regions of frequency and wave vector with group velocities greater than that of light in vacuum were found. This is not fully understood and due to large diffraction is likely only to realize in guided resonator form. The notion of “negative refraction” is shortly discussed but we did not find agreement with its assessment in the original paper.

Optic Axes and Elliptic Cone Equation in Coordinate-Invariant Treatment

We derive for crystal optics in coordinate-invariant way the cone approximation of refraction vectors in the neighborhood of optic axes and determine its invariants and eigenvectors. It proved to describe an elliptic cone. The second invariant of the operator of the wave equation with respect to similarity transformations determines the special cases of degeneration including the optic axes where the polarization of the waves due to self-intersection of the dispersion surface is not uniquely determined. This second invariant is included in all investigations and it is taken into account in the illustrations. It is biquadratic in the refraction vectors and the corresponding forth-order surface in three-dimensional space splits in two separate shells and a non-rational product decomposition describing this is found. We give also a more general classification of all possible solutions of an equation with an arbitrary three-dimensional operator.

Quantum Systems Connected by a Time-Dependent Canonical Transformation

We study both classical and quantum relation between two Hamiltonian systems which are mutually connected by time-dependent canonical transformation. One is ordinary conservative system and the other is timedependent Hamiltonian system. The quantum unitary operator relevant to classical canonical transformation between the two systems are obtained through rigorous evaluation. With the aid of the unitary operator, we have derived quantum states of the time-dependent Hamiltonian system through transforming the quantum states of the conservative system. The invariant operators of the two systems are presented and the relation between them are addressed. We showed that there exist numerous Hamiltonians, which gives the same classical equation of motion. Though it is impossible to distinguish the systems described by these Hamiltonians within the realm of classical mechanics, they can be distinguishable quantum mechanically.

A Kind of Invariant Hankel Operators

For two kinds of the Moebius invariant subspace A_l^(a,2)(D) and A_l^(-a,2)(D) of L^(a,2)(D), we define big and small Hankel operators H_b^(ll') and h_b^(ll') for the analytic symbol function b(z), and study their boundedness, compactness and Schatten-von Neumanu classes S_p-estimates, and hence develope Schatten -von Neumann properties of these op- erators.

Classical and Quantum Behavior of Generalized Oscillators in Terms of Linear Canonical Transformations

The quantum mechanical relationships between time-dependent oscillators, Hamilton-Jacobi theory and an invariant operator are clarified by making reference to a system with a generalized oscillator. We introduce a linear transformation in position and momentum, and show that the correspondence between classical and quantum transformations is exactly one-to-one. We found that classical canonical transformations are constructed from quantum unitary transformations as long as we are concerned with linear transformations. We also show the relationship between the invariant operator and a linear transformation.

Invariant Functions, Symmetries and Primary Branch Solutions of First Order Autonomous Systems

An invariant function （IF） is defined as a multiplier of a symmetry that means a symmetry multiplied by an IF is still a symmetry. Primary branch solutions of arbitrary first order scalar systems can be obtained by means of the IF and its related symmetry approach. Especially, one recursion operator and some sets of infinitely many high order symmetries are also explicitly given for arbitrary （l q-1）-dimensional first order autonomous systems. Because of the intrusion of the arbitrary function, various implicit special exact solutions can be found by fixing the arbitrary functions and selecting different seed solutions.

Generalized Coherent States for Position-Dependent Effective Mass Systems

A generalized scheme for the construction of coherent states in the context of position-dependent effective mass systems has been presented. This formalism is based on the ladder operators and associated algebra of the system which are obtained using the concepts of supersymmetric quantum mechanics and the property of shape invariance. In order to exemplify the general results and to analyze the properties of the coherent states, several examples have been considered.
