Modified Landau levels, damped harmonic oscillator and two-dimensional pseudo-bosons
2010
In a series of recent papers one of us has analyzed in some details a class of elementary excitations called {\em pseudo-bosons}. They arise from a special deformation of the canonical commutation relation $[a,a^\dagger]=\1$, which is replaced by $[a,b]=\1$, with $b$ not necessarily equal to $a^\dagger$. Here, after a two-dimensional extension of the general framework, we apply the theory to a generalized version of the two-dimensional Hamiltonian describing Landau levels. Moreover, for this system, we discuss coherent states and we deduce a resolution of the identity. We also consider a different class of examples arising from a classical system, i.e. a damped harmonic oscillator.
Accurate spectroscopic constants of nitrogen determined from stimulated Raman spectra of the fundamental and first hot bands
1990
Nitrogen spectra of the Q-branch of the fundamental and the first hot bands were recorde with a high-resolution stimulated Raman spectrometer at atmospheric pressure and ca. 1300 K. The absolute frequencies of the Raman lines were measured with high accuracy, leading to a refinement of spectroscopic constants. A temperature estimation was also performed from the Raman intensities.
Raman spectroscopy of the high- and low-spin states of the spin crossover complex Fe(phen)2(NCS)2: an initial approach to estimation of vibrational c…
2000
Abstract Raman spectra of the spin-crossover complex Fe(phen)2(NCS)2 in the solid state have been recorded at 785 nm as a function of temperature to investigate the contribution of intramolecular vibrations to the entropy change, ΔS, associated with spin crossover. The modes of major interest for estimating the contribution lie in the range 100–500 cm−1, where the largest qualitative changes with temperature in the Raman spectra were observed. Analysis of these data, with the working assumption of an average frequency in this range as representative of the 15 distortion modes of an idealised FeN6 octahedron, leads to the conclusion that the intramolecular vibrations represent a primary cont…
Vector coherent states and intertwining operators
2009
In this paper we discuss a general strategy to construct vector coherent states of the Gazeau-Klauder type and we use them to built up examples of isospectral hamiltonians. For that we use a general strategy recently proposed by the author and which extends well known facts on intertwining operators. We also discuss the possibility of constructing non-isospectral hamiltonians with related eigenstates.
Bi-squeezed states arising from pseudo-bosons
2018
Extending our previous analysis on bi-coherent states, we introduce here a new class of quantum mechanical vectors, the \emph{bi-squeezed states}, and we deduce their main mathematical properties. We relate bi-squeezed states to the so-called regular and non regular pseudo-bosons. We show that these two cases are different, from a mathematical point of view. Some physical examples are considered.
Coherent states: a contemporary panorama
2012
Coherent states (CS) of the harmonic oscillator (also called canonical CS) were introduced in 1926 by Schr?dinger in answer to a remark by Lorentz on the classical interpretation of the wave function. They were rediscovered in the early 1960s, first (somewhat implicitly) by Klauder in the context of a novel representation of quantum states, then by Glauber and Sudarshan for the description of coherence in lasers. Since then, CS have grown into an extremely rich domain that pervades almost every corner of physics and have also led to the development of several flourishing topics in mathematics. Along the way, a number of review articles have appeared in the literature, devoted to CS, notably…
Some results on the rotated infinitely deep potential and its coherent states
2021
The Swanson model is an exactly solvable model in quantum mechanics with a manifestly non self-adjoint Hamiltonian whose eigenvalues are all real. Its eigenvectors can be deduced easily, by means of suitable ladder operators. This is because the Swanson Hamiltonian is deeply connected with that of a standard quantum Harmonic oscillator, after a suitable rotation in configuration space is performed. In this paper we consider a rotated version of a different quantum system, the infinitely deep potential, and we consider some of the consequences of this rotation. In particular, we show that differences arise with respect to the Swanson model, mainly because of the technical need of working, he…
Unitary Representations of Quantum Superpositions of two Coherent States and beyond
2013
The construction of a class of unitary operators generating linear superpositions of generalized coherent states from the ground state of a quantum harmonic oscillator is reported. Such a construction, based on the properties of a new ad hoc introduced set of hermitian operators, leads to the definition of new basis in the oscillator Hilbert space, extending in a natural way the displaced Fock states basis. The potential development of our method and our results are briefly outlined.
A Swanson-like Hamiltonian and the inverted harmonic oscillator
2022
We deduce the eigenvalues and the eigenvectors of a parameter-dependent Hamiltonian $H_\theta$ which is closely related to the Swanson Hamiltonian, and we construct bi-coherent states for it. After that, we show how and in which sense the eigensystem of the Hamiltonian $H$ of the inverted quantum harmonic oscillator can be deduced from that of $H_\theta$. We show that there is no need to introduce a different scalar product using some ad hoc metric operator, as suggested by other authors. Indeed we prove that a distributional approach is sufficient to deal with the Hamiltonian $H$ of the inverted oscillator.
A many-body approach to transport in quantum systems : From the transient regime to the stationary state
2022
We review one of the most versatile theoretical approaches to the study of time-dependent correlated quantum transport in nano-systems: the non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) formalism. Within this formalism, one can treat, on the same footing, inter-particle interactions, external drives and/or perturbations, and coupling to baths with a (piece-wise) continuum set of degrees of freedom. After a historical overview on the theory of transport in quantum systems, we present a modern introduction of the NEGF approach to quantum transport. We discuss the inclusion of inter-particle interactions using diagrammatic techniques, and the use of the so-called embedding and inbedding techniques w…
