Single trapped ion as a time-dependent harmonic oscillator
We show how a single trapped ion may be used to test a variety of important physical models realized as time-dependent harmonic oscillators. The ion itself functions as its own motional detector through laserinduced electronic transitions. Alsing et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 220401 2005 proposed that an exponentially decaying trap frequency could be used to simulate thermal Gibbons-Hawking radi...
متن کاملPropagator for the time-dependent harmonic oscillator.
The propagator for a harmonic oscillator with general time-dependent mass and frequency matrices is constructed from the Van-Vleck/Morette formula. The explicit form of the classical action, and thus of the propagator, is found in terms of infinite series which are solutions to a set of differential equations. Those equations are found independently via the Hamilton-Jacobi equation, and by comp...
متن کاملEnergy Evolution in Time-Dependent Harmonic Oscillator
The theory of adiabatic invariants has a long history, and very important implications and applications in many different branches of physics, classically and quantally, but is rarely founded on rigorous results. Here we treat the general timedependent one-dimensional harmonic oscillator, whose Newton equation q̈+ω(t)q = 0 cannot be solved in general. We follow the time-evolution of an initial e...
متن کاملTime-Dependent Diffeomorphisms as Quantum Canonical Transformations and the Time-Dependent Harmonic Oscillator
Quantum canonical transformations corresponding to time-dependent diffeomorphisms of the configuration space are studied. A special class of these transformations which correspond to time-dependent dilatations is used to identify a previously unknown class of exactly solvable time-dependent harmonic oscillators. The CaldirolaKanai oscillator belongs to this class. For a general time-dependent h...
متن کاملQuantum states of a generalized time-dependent inverted harmonic oscillator
We discuss the extension of the Lewis and Riesenfeld method of solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation to cases where the invariant has continuous eigenvalues and apply it to the case of a generalized time-dependent inverted harmonic oscillator. As a special case, we consider a generalized inverted oscillator with constant frequency and exponentially increasing mass. PACS number(s): 03....
