Squeezed States for General Systems

Using the {\it nonlinear coherent states method}, a formalism for the construction of the coherent states associated to {\it "inverse bosonic operators"} and their dual family has been proposed. Generalizing the approach, the "inverse of $f$-deformed ladder operators" corresponding to the nonlinear coherent states in the context of quantum optics and the associated coherent states have been introduced. Finally, after applying the proposal to a few known physical systems, part...

We investigate the relationship between the semiclassical wave packets of Hagedorn and the Hermite functions by establishing a relationship between their ladder operators. This Hagedorn--Hermite correspondence provides a unified view as well as simple proofs of some essential results on the Hagedorn wave packets. Particularly, we show that Hagedorn's ladder operators are a natural set of ladder operators obtained from the position and momentum operators using the symplectic g...

In the second part of our review (for the first part see quant-ph/0108080), we discuss a physical model for generation of "truncated" coherent and squeezed states in finite-dimensional Hibert spaces.

As an aid to understanding the {\it displacement operator} definition of squeezed states for arbitrary systems, we investigate the properties of systems where there is a Holstein-Primakoff or Bogoliubov transformation. In these cases the {\it ladder-operator or minimum-uncertainty} definitions of squeezed states are equivalent to an extent displacement-operator definition. We exemplify this in a setting where there are operators satisfying $[A, A^{\dagger}] = 1$, but the $A$'...

The development of supersymmetric (SUSY) quantum mechanics has shown that some of the insights based on the algebraic properties of ladder operators related to the quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator carry over to the study of more general systems. At this level of generality, pairs of eigenfunctions of so-called partner Hamiltonians are transformed into each other, but the entire spectrum of any one of them cannot be deduced from this intertwining relationship in general-...

In this article a study was made of the conditions under which a Hamiltonian which is an element of the complex $ \left\{ h (1) \oplus h(1) \right\} \uplus u(2) $ Lie algebra admits ladder operators which are also elements of this algebra. The algebra eigenstates of the lowering operator constructed in this way are computed and from them both the energy spectrum and the energy eigenstates of this Hamiltonian are generated in the usual way with the help of the corresponding ra...

In this paper we introduce a new method for constructing coherent states for 2D harmonic oscillators. In particular, we focus on both the isotropic and commensurate anisotropic instances of the 2D harmonic oscillator. We define a new set of ladder operators for the 2D system as a linear combination of the x and y ladder operators and construct the $SU(2)$ coherent states, where these are then used as the basis of expansion for Schr\"odinger-type coherent states of the 2D osci...

A general procedure for constructing coherent states, which are eigenstates of annihilation operators, related to quantum mechanical potential problems, is presented. These coherent states, by construction are not potential specific and rely on the properties of the orthogonal polynomials, for their derivation. The information about a given quantum mechanical potential enters into these states, through the orthogonal polynomials associated with it and also through its ground ...

In this paper, we study supersymmetry in quantum mechanics using the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP), or in other words, generalized supersymmetry in quantum mechanics. We construct supersymmetry in the generalized form of the momentum operator, which is derived from GUP. By generalizing the creation and annihilation operators, we can transform the supersymmetry into a generalized state. In the following, we address the challenge of solving the Schr\"odinger equation ...

A formalism for the construction of some classes of Gazeau$-$Klauder squeezed states, corresponding to arbitrary solvable quantum systems with a known discrete spectrum, are introduced. As some physical applications, the proposed structure is applied to a few known quantum systems and then statistical properties as well as squeezing of the obtained squeezed states are studied. Finally, numerical results are presented.
