Propagator for the time-dependent harmonic oscillator.
نویسنده
چکیده
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 composition of infinitesimal propagators. 03.65.-w,31.15.Kb,04.60.Gw Typeset using REVTEX

متن کاملSuper algebra and Harmonic Oscillator in Anti de Sitter space
The harmonic oscillator in anti de Sitter space(AdS) is discussed. We consider the harmonic oscillator potential and then time independent Schrodinger equation in AdS space. Then we apply the supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics approach to solve our differential equation. In this paper we have solved Schrodinger equation for harmonic oscillator in AdS spacetime by supersymmetry approach. The shape...
متن کاملApplying reproducing kernels to the evaluation and approximation of the simple and time-dependent imaginary time harmonic oscillator path integrals
Reproduction of kernel Hilbert spaces offers an attractive setting for imaginary time path integrals, since they allow to naturally define a probability on the space of paths, which is equal to the probability associated with the paths in Feynman’s path integral formulation. This study shows that if the propagator is Gaussian, its variance equals the squared norm of a linear functional on the s...
متن کاملCauchy Problem for Forced Harmonic Oscillator
We construct an explicit solution of the Cauchy initial value problem for the onedimensional Schrödinger equation with time-dependent Hamiltonian operator for the forced harmonic oscillator. The corresponding Green function (propagator) is derived with the help of the generalized Fourier transform and a relation with representations of the Heisenberg–Weyl group N (3) in a certain special case a...
متن کاملA Rigorous Real Time Feynman Path Integral and Propagator
Abstract. We will derive a rigorous real time propagator for the Non-relativistic Quantum Mechanic L transition probability amplitude and for the Non-relativistic wave function. The propagator will be explicitly given in terms of the time evolution operator. The derivation will be for all self-adjoint nonvector potential Hamiltonians. For systems with potential that carries at most a finite num...
