Generalized path-integral solution and coherent states of the harmonic oscillator in D-dimensions

We construct a general form of propagator in arbitrary dimensions and give an exact wavefunction of a time- dependent forced harmonic oscillator in D（D ≥ 1） dimensions. The coherent states, defined as the eigenstates of annihilation operator, of the D-dimensional harmonic oscillator are derived. These coherent states correspond to the minimum uncertainty states and the relation between them is investigated.

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.

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.

First, a Lagrangian is presented and authenticated for a Relativistic Harmonic Oscillator in 1 + 1 dimensions. It yields a two-component set of equations of motion. The time-component is the missing piece in all previous discussions of this system! The second result is that this Oscillator Langrangian generalizes to Langrangians for a class of particles in 1 + 1 dimensions subject to an arbitrary potential V which is space dependent only.

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.

Connes distance of 2D harmonic oscillators in quantum phase space

We study the Connes distance of quantum states of two-dimensional(2D)harmonic oscillators in phase space.Using the Hilbert–Schmidt operatorial formulation,we construct a boson Fock space and a quantum Hilbert space,and obtain the Dirac operator and a spectral triple corresponding to a four-dimensional(4D)quantum phase space.Based on the ball condition,we obtain some constraint relations about the optimal elements.We construct the corresponding optimal elements and then derive the Connes distance between two arbitrary Fock states of 2D quantum harmonic oscillators.We prove that these two-dimensional distances satisfy the Pythagoras theorem.These results are significant for the study of geometric structures of noncommutative spaces,and it can also help us to study the physical properties of quantum systems in some kinds of noncommutative spaces.

The relativistic bound states for a new ring-shaped harmonic oscillator

In this paper a new ring-shaped harmonic oscillator for spin 1/2 particles is studied, and the corresponding eigenfunctions and eigenenergies are obtained by solving the Dirac equation with equal mixture of vector and scalar potentials. Several particular cases such as the ring-shaped non-spherical harmonic oscillator, the ring-shaped harmonic oscillator, non-spherical harmonic oscillator, and spherical harmonic oscillator are also discussed.

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.

Quantization of the 1-D Forced Harmonic Oscillator in the Space (<i>x</i>, <i>v</i>)

The quantization of the forced harmonic oscillator is studied with the quantum variable (x, v∧), with the commutation relation , and using a Schrödinger’s like equation on these variable, and associating a linear operator to a constant of motion K (x, v, t) of the classical system, The comparison with the quantization in the space (x, p) is done with the usual Schrödinger’s equation for the Hamiltonian H(x, p, t), and with the commutation relation . It is found that for the non-resonant case, both forms of quantization bring about the same result. However, for the resonant case, both forms of quantization are different, and the probability for the system to be in the exited state for the (x, v∧) quantization has fewer oscillations than the (x, p∧) quantization, the average energy of the system is higher in (x, p∧) quantization than on the (x, v∧) quantization, and the Boltzmann-Shannon entropy on the (x, p∧) quantization is higher than on the (x, v∧) quantization.

New Possibilities of Harmonic Oscillator Basis Application for Quantum System Description.Two Particles with Coulomb Interaction

This paper is addressed to the problem of Galilei invariant basis construction for identical fermions systems. The recently introduced method for spurious state elimination from expansions in harmonic oscillator basis [1] 08D0C9EA79F9BACE118C8200AA004BA90B02000000080000000E0000005F005200650066003400310034003400340037003600360038000000 is adopted and applied to bound states of two particles system with Coulomb potential description. Traditional expansions in this case demonstrate the extremely well-known slow convergence, and hence this is the best problem with known exact solutions for the test of the method. Obtained results demonstrate the significant simplification of the problem and fast convergence of expansions. We show that the application of this general method is very efficient in a test case of the energy spectrum calculation problem of two particles with different masses interacting with Coulomb potential.

Observation about the Classical Electromagnetic Gauge Transformation and Its Quantum Correspondence

Using the Landau and symmetric gauges for the vector potential of a constant magnetic field and the quantum problem of a charged particle moving on a flat surface, we show the classical electromagnetic gauge transformation does not correspond to a one-dimensional unitary group transformation U(1) of the wave function for the quantum case. In addition, with the re-examination of the relation between the magnetic field B and its vector potential A, we found that, in order to have a consistent formulation of the dynamics of the charged particle with both expressions, we must have that B=∇×A if and only if B≠0.

Complex dynamics of a harmonically excited structure coupled with a nonlinear energy sink

Nonlinear behaviors are investigated for a structure coupled with a nonlinear energy sink. The structure is linear and subject to a harmonic excitation, modeled as a forced single-degree-of-freedom oscillator. The nonlinear energy sink is modeled as an oscillator consisting of a mass,a nonlinear spring, and a linear damper. Based on the numerical solutions, global bifurcation diagrams are presented to reveal the coexistence of periodic and chaotic motions for varying nonlinear energy sink mass and stiffness. Chaos is numerically identified via phase trajectories, power spectra,and Poincaré maps. Amplitude-frequency response curves are predicted by the method of harmonic balance for periodic steady-state responses. Their stabilities are analyzed.The Hopf bifurcation and the saddle-node bifurcation are determined. The investigation demonstrates that a nonlinear energy sink may create dynamic complexity.

Quantum photodetachment of hydrogen negative ion in a harmonic potential subjected to static electric field

Photodetachment of negative ions has attracted immense interest owing to its fundamental nature and practical implications with regard to technology. In this study, we explore the quantum dynamics of the photodetachment cross section of negative ion of hydrogen H-in the perturbed one dimensional linear harmonic potential via static electric field. To this end,the quantum formula for total photodetachment cross section of the H-ion is derived by calculating the dipole matrix element in spherical coordinates. In order to obtain the detached electron wave function, we have solved the time-independent Schr¨odinger wave equation for the perturbed Hamiltonian of the harmonic oscillator in momentum representation. To acquire the corresponding normalized final state detached electron wave function in momentum space, we have employed an approach analogous to the WKB(Wenzel–Kramers–Brillouin) approximation. The resulting analytical formula of total photodetachment cross section depicts interesting oscillator structure that varies considerably with incident-photon energy,oscillator potential frequency, and electric field strength as elucidated by the numerical results. The current problem having close analogy with the Stark effect in charged harmonic oscillator may have potential implications in atomic and molecular physics and quantum optics.

The correctness of the above conclusions can be verified by virtue of the entangled state 〈η｜ representation of the state ｜τ）.

Quantum and semiclassical studies on photodetachment cross sections of H^- in a harmonic potential

The photodetachment cross section of H- in a linear harmonic oscillator potential is investigated. This system pro- vides a rare example that can be studied analytically by both quantum and semiclassical methods with some approxi- mations. The formulas of the cross section for different laser polarization directions are explicitly derived by both the traditional quantum approach and closed-orbit theory. In the traditional quantum approach, we calculate the cross sections in coordinate representation and momentum representation, and get the same formulas. We compare the quantum formulas with closed-orbit theory formulas, and find that when the detachment electron energy is larger than hco, where co is the frequency of the oscillator potential, the quantum results are shown to be in good agreement with the semiclassical results.

The Role of Forced Oscillators of Coupled Circuits in Radiation Physics: New Linear Accelerator Design Improving Tomo-Scanning Technology (Radiotherapy and CT), Heisenberg-Euler Scatter, and Extension to Bremsstrahlung with GeV Electrons

The quantization of circuits has received to be rather attractive in domains of solid state—molecular—and biophysics, since the quanta referred to as Q-bits play a significant role in the design of the quantum computer and entangled structures. Quantized circuits cannot be applied without modifications, since the energy differences are not equidistant and the polarization of the excited states has to be accounted for having particular importance for the creation of virtual states. Applications of the presented theory are scanning methods in radiotherapy without multi-leaf collimators, which may be realized in tomo-scanning radiotherapy and in the keV domain, which provides a new design of CT. The problem of lateral scatter in the target and energy storage by heat production is significantly reduced by a multilayer system with focusing the impinging electrons at the walls and by a magnetic field. The verification of the Heisenberg-Euler scatter of crossing beams of 9 MV is a central problem of photon physics and can be solved by the new bremsstrahlung technique. A comparison with GEANT 4 Monte-Carlo data indicates that the presented method also works in the GeV domain, and a multi-target can improve the bremsstrahlung yield. GEANT 4 provides the spatial distribution, whereas the virtual oscillator states only show the created energy spectrum. In every case, the exploitation yield can be drastically improved by the superiority of the focused multitarget system compared to a single standard target, and the door to new technologies is opened.
