Classical versus quantum dynamics for a driven relativistic oscillator

چکیده
We compare the time evolution of the quantum-mechanical spatial probability density obtained by solving the time-dependent Dirac equation with its classical counterpart obtained from the relativistic Liouville equation for the phase-space density in a regime in which the dynamics is essentially relativistic. For a resonantly driven one-dimensional harmonic oscillator, the simplest nontrivial model system to perform this comparison, we find that, despite the nonlinearity induced by relativity, the classical ensemble description matches the quantum evolution remarkably well.

Spin state in the propagation of quantum relativistic particles along classical trajectories
We address the propagation of the spin along classical trajectories for a spin-1/2 particle obeying the Dirac equation with scalar potentials. Focusing on classical trajectories as the exact propagation of wave-function discontinuities, we find an explicit spin-transport law for the case of the Dirac oscillator. In the general case we examine the spin propagation along classical trajectories em...
متن کاملFrequency–driven chaos in the electrical circuit of Duffing-Holmes oscillator and its control
Accurate detection of weak periodic signals within noise and possibility of secure messaging have made Duffing oscillator (DO) highly important in the field of communication. Investigation on the properties of DO is thus ardently sought for. An elegant approach to accomplish the same is to fabricate electronic circuit simulating DO non-linear equation and to study the effect of input signal amp...

Single-valence electron atoms are an important class of atoms. Their oscillator strengths are their important properties. Knowing the oscillator strengths one can easity calculate the transition probabilities of the spectral lines and hence the lifetimes of energy levels of most atoms. The oscillator strengths of the spectral lines of most atoms are not knoen with sufficient accuracy due to t...
متن کاملSpectrum of geometric phases in a driven impact oscillator
We study the geometric phases underlying the time evolution of the quantum wavefunction of a driven nonlinear oscillator which exhibits periodic, quasiperiodic as well as chaotic dynamics. In the asymptotic limit, irrespective of the classical dynamics, the geometric phases are found to increase linearly with time. Interestingly, the fingerprints of the classical motion are present in the bound...
متن کاملGeometric models of (d+1)-dimensional relativistic rotating oscillators
Geometric models of quantum relativistic rotating oscillators in arbitrary dimensions are defined on backgrounds with deformed anti-de Sitter metrics. It is shown that these models are analytically solvable, deriving the formulas of the energy levels and corresponding normalized energy eigenfunctions. An important property is that all these models have the same nonrelativistic limit, namely the...
