A two-center-oscillator-basis as an alternative set for heavy ion processes
1977
The two-center-oscillator-basis, which is constructed from harmonic oscillator wave functions developing about two different centers, suffers from numerical problems at small center separations due to the overcompleteness of the set. In order to overcome these problems we admix higher oscillator wave functions before the orthogonalization, or antisymmetrization resp. This yields a numerically stable basis set at each center separation. The results obtained for the potential energy surface are comparable with the results of more elaborate models.
Emergent Soft Monopole Modes in Weakly-Bound Deformed Nuclei
2014
Based on the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov solutions in large deformed coordinate spaces, the finite amplitude method for quasiparticle random phase approximation (FAM-QRPA) has been implemented, providing a suitable approach to probe collective excitations of weakly-bound nuclei embedded in the continuum. The monopole excitation modes in Magnesium isotopes up to the neutron drip line have been studied with the FAM-QRPA framework on both the coordinate-space and harmonic oscillator basis methods. Enhanced soft monopole strengths and collectivity as a result of weak-binding effects have been unambiguously demonstrated.
Simulating open quantum systems with trapped ions
2005
This paper focuses on the possibility of simulating the open system dynamics of a paradigmatic model, namely the damped harmonic oscillator, with single trapped ions. The key idea consists in using a controllable physical system, i.e. a single trapped ion interacting with an engineered reservoir, to simulate the dynamics of other open systems usually difficult to study. The exact dynamics of the damped harmonic oscillator under very general conditions is firstly derived. Some peculiar characteristic of the system’s dynamics are then presented. Finally a way to implement with trapped ion the specific quantum simulator of interest is discussed.
Experimental verification of a self-consistent calculation for continuous frequency-tune with a 400 GHz band second harmonic gyro-BWO
2013
A self-consistent code is introduced to develop a continuous frequency tunable gyro-BWO. A cavity is designed with TE8,5 mode for 400 GHz band second harmonic oscillation. The experimental verification has been carried out and 2 GHz tunability is observed with output powers of higher than 40 W.
Synchronizing Quantum Harmonic Oscillators through Two-Level Systems
2017
Two oscillators coupled to a two-level system which in turn is coupled to an infinite number of oscillators (reservoir) are considered, bringing to light the occurrence of synchronization. A detailed analysis clarifies the physical mechanism that forces the system to oscillate at a single frequency with a predictable and tunable phase difference. Finally, the scheme is generalized to the case of $N$ oscillators and $M(<N)$ two-level systems.
𝒟 $\mathcal {D}$ -Deformed Harmonic Oscillators
2015
We analyze systematically several deformations arising from two-dimensional harmonic oscillators which can be described in terms of $\cal{D}$-pseudo bosons. They all give rise to exactly solvable models, described by non self-adjoint hamiltonians whose eigenvalues and eigenvectors can be found adopting the quite general framework of the so-called $\cal{D}$-pseudo bosons. In particular, we show that several models previously introduced in the literature perfectly fit into this scheme.
Riccati-Padé quantization and oscillatorsV(r)=grα
1993
We develop an alternative construction of bound states based on matching the Riccati threshold and asymptotic expansions via their two-point Pad\'e interpolation. As a form of quantization it gives highly accurate eigenvalues and eigenfunctions.
From self-adjoint to non self-adjoint harmonic oscillators: physical consequences and mathematical pitfalls
2013
Using as a prototype example the harmonic oscillator we show how losing self-adjointness of the hamiltonian $H$ changes drastically the related functional structure. In particular, we show that even a small deviation from strict self-adjointness of $H$ produces two deep consequences, not well understood in the literature: first of all, the original orthonormal basis of $H$ splits into two families of biorthogonal vectors. These two families are complete but, contrarily to what often claimed for similar systems, none of them is a basis for the Hilbert space $\Hil$. Secondly, the so-called metric operator is unbounded, as well as its inverse. In the second part of the paper, after an extensio…
The quantum relativistic harmonic oscillator: generalized Hermite polynomials
1991
A relativistic generalisation of the algebra of quantum operators for the harmonic oscillator is proposed. The wave functions are worked out explicitly in configuration space. Both the operator algebra and the wave functions have the appropriate c→∞ limit. This quantum dynamics involves an extra quantization condition mc2/ωℏ = 1, 32, 2, … of a topological character.
Harmonic oscillator model for the atom-surface Casimir-Polder interaction energy
2012
In this paper we consider a quantum harmonic oscillator interacting with the electromagnetic radiation field in the presence of a boundary condition preserving the continuous spectrum of the field, such as an infinite perfectly conducting plate. Using an appropriate Bogoliubov-type transformation we can diagonalize exactly the Hamiltonian of our system in the continuum limit and obtain non-perturbative expressions for its ground-state energy. From the expressions found, the atom-wall Casimir-Polder interaction energy can be obtained, and well-know lowest-order results are recovered as a limiting case. Use and advantage of this method for dealing with other systems where perturbation theory …
