Invariants and Coherent States for Nonstationary Fermionic Forced Oscillator

The most general form of Hamiltonian that preserves fermionic coherent states stable in time is found in the form of nonstationary fermion oscillator. Invariant creation and annihilation operators and related Fock states and coherent states are built up for the more general system of nonstationary forced fermion oscillator.Comment: 13 pages, Latex, no figure

Time-dependent coupled oscillator model for charged particle motion in the presence of a time varyingmagnetic field

The dynamics of time-dependent coupled oscillator model for the charged particle motion subjected to a time-dependent external magnetic field is investigated. We used canonical transformation approach for the classical treatment of the system, whereas unitary transformation approach is used when managing the system in the framework of quantum mechanics. For both approaches, the original system is transformed to a much more simple system that is the sum of two independent harmonic oscillators which have time-dependent frequencies. We therefore easily identified the wave functions in the transformed system with the help of invariant operator of the system. The full wave functions in the original system is derived from the inverse unitary transformation of the wave functions associated to the transformed system.Comment: 16 page

Zitterbewegung of optical pulses in nonlinear frequency conversion

Pulse walk-off in the process of sum frequency generation in a nonlinear $\chi^{(2)}$ crystal is shown to be responsible for pulse jittering which is reminiscent to the Zitterbewegung (trembling motion) of a relativistic freely moving Dirac particle. An analytical expression for the pulse center of mass trajectory is derived in the no-pump-depletion limit, and numerical examples of Zitterbewegung are presented for sum frequency generation in periodically-poled lithium niobate. The proposed quantum-optical analogy indicates that frequency conversion in nonlinear optics could provide an experimentally accessible simulator of the Dirac equation.Comment: to be published in Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular & Optical Physic

Comment on: "Quantum dynamics of a general time-dependent coupled oscillator"

By using dynamical invariants theory, Hassoul et al. [1,2] investigate the quantum dynamics of two (2D) and three (3D) dimensional time-dependent coupled oscillators. They claim that, in the 2D case, introducing two pairs of annihilation and creation operators uncouples the original invariant operator so that it becomes the one that describes two independent subsystems. For the 3D case, the authors pretend that they have obtained a diagonalized invariant which is exactly the sum of three simple harmonic oscillators. We show that their investigations suffer from basic errors and therefore the found results are not valid .Comment: 11 page

Ermakov-Lewis angles for one-parameter supersymmetric families of Newtonian free damping modes

We apply the Ermakov-Lewis procedure to the one-parameter damped modes \tilde{y} recently introduced by Rosu and Reyes, which are related to the common Newtonian free damping modes y by the general Riccati solution [H.C. Rosu and M. Reyes, Phys. Rev. E 57, 4850 (1998), physics/9707019]. In particular, we calculate and plot the angle quantities of this approach that can help to distinguish these modes from the common y modesComment: 6 pages, twocolumn, 18 figs embedded, only first 9 publishe

A geometric approach to time evolution operators of Lie quantum systems

Lie systems in Quantum Mechanics are studied from a geometric point of view. In particular, we develop methods to obtain time evolution operators of time-dependent Schrodinger equations of Lie type and we show how these methods explain certain ad hoc methods used in previous papers in order to obtain exact solutions. Finally, several instances of time-dependent quadratic Hamiltonian are solved.Comment: Accepted for publication in the International Journal of Theoretical Physic
