Anharmonic oscillator discontinuity formulae up to second-exponentially-small order
نویسندگان
چکیده
The eigenvalues of the quartic anharmonic oscillator as functions of the anharmonicity constant satisfy a once-subtracted dispersion relation. In turn, this dispersion relation is driven by the purely imaginary discontinuity of the eigenvalues across the negative real axis. In this paper we calculate explicitly the asymptotic expansion of this discontinuity up to second-exponentially-small order. PACS numbers: 03.65.Sq, 02.30.Gp, 02.60.−x

A new approach to the logarithmic perturbation theory for the spherical anharmonic oscillator
The explicit semiclassical treatment of the logarithmic perturbation theory for the bound-state problem for the spherical anharmonic oscillator is developed. Based upon the h̄-expansions and suitable quantization conditions a new procedure for deriving perturbation expansions is offered. Avoiding disadvantages of the standard approach, new handy recursion formulae with the same simple form both ...
متن کاملQuantum versus Semiclassical Description of Selftrapping: Anharmonic Effects
Selftrapping has been traditionally studied on the assumption that quasiparticles interact with harmonic phonons and that this interaction is linear in the displacement of the phonon. To complement recent semiclassical studies of anharmonicity and nonlinearity in this context, we present below a fully quantum mechanical analysis of a two-site system, where the oscillator is described by a tunab...

Variable-step (VS) second derivative $k$-step $3$-stage Hermite--Birkhoff--Obrechkoff (HBO) methods of order $p=(k+3)$, denoted by HBO$(p)$ are constructed as a combination of linear $k$-step methods of order $(p-2)$ and a second derivative two-step diagonally implicit $3$-stage Hermite--Birkhoff method of order 5 (DIHB5) for solving stiff ordinary differential equations. The main reason for co...
متن کاملQuantum and classical chirps in an anharmonic oscillator.
We measure the state dynamics of a tunable anharmonic quantum system, the Josephson phase circuit, under the excitation of a frequency-chirped drive. At small anharmonicity, the state evolves like a wave packet-a characteristic response in classical oscillators; in this regime, we report exponentially enhanced lifetimes of highly excited states, held by the drive. At large anharmonicity, we obs...
متن کاملScaling Property of Variational Perturbation Expansion for General Anharmonic Oscillator with X P -potential Typeset Using Revt E X
We prove a powerful scaling property for the extremality condition in the recently developed variational perturbation theory which converts divergent perturbation expansions into exponentially fast convergent ones. The proof is given for the energy eigenvalues of an anharmonic oscillator with an arbitrary x p-potential. The scaling property greatly increases the accuracy of the results.
