Independent Oscillator Model of a Heat Bath: Exact Diagonalization of the Hamiltonian
نویسنده
چکیده
The problem of a quantum oscillator coupled to an independent-oscillator model of a heat bath is discussed. The transformation to normal coordinates is explicitly constructed using the method of Ullersma. With this transformation an alternative derivation of an exact formula for the oscillator free energy is constructed. The various contributions to the oscillator energy are calculated, with the aim of further understanding this formula. Finally, the limitations of linear coupling models, such as that used by Ullersma, are discussed in the form of some critical remarks.

Phonon and multi-phonon excitations in rotational nuclei by exact diagonalization of the Bohr Hamiltonian
Exact numerical diagonalization of the Bohr Hamiltonian by SU(1, 1) × SO(5) methods is used to obtain detailed quantitative predictions for single-phonon and multi-phonon excitations in well-deformed rotor nuclei. Dynamical γ deformation is found to significantly influence the predictions through its coupling to the rotational motion. Basic signatures for the onset of rigid triaxial deformation...

متن کاملThermal Equilibrium from the Hu-paz-zhang Master Equation
The exact master equation for a harmonic oscillator coupled to a heat bath, derived recently by Hu, Paz and Zhang, is simplified by taking the weakcoupling, late-time limit. The unique time-independent solution to this simplified master equation is the canonical ensemble at the temperature of the bath. The frequency of the oscillator is effectively lowered by the interaction with the bath. † an...

We present exact and stochastic diagonalization results for a BCS-reduced Hubbard model. The kinetic Hamiltonian is the same as in the single band Hubbard model with additional next nearest neighbor hopping. The interaction of this model is designed to inhibit superconductivity in the dx2−y2 channel. The ground state of this model is studied by exact and stochastic diagonalization technique. We...
