The driven harmonic oscillator. Suppose the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator (mass m, frequency 蝇) is subjected to a driving force of the form F(t) = m 蝇虏 f(t) , where f(t) is some specified function. (I have factored out m 蝇虏 for notational convenience; f(t) has the dimensions of length.) The Hamiltonian is

H(t)=-h22m2x2+12m2x2-m2xf(t) (10.90).

Assume that the force was first turned on at time t=0:f(t)=0fort0t=0.This system can be solved exactly, both in classical mechanics and in quantum mechanics.

(a)Determine the classical position of the oscillator, assuming it started from rest at the origin (xc0=xc0=0). Answer:

xc(t)=0tf(t')sin[t-t']dt'.(10.91).

(b) Show that the solution to the (time-dependent) Schr枚dinger equation for this oscillator, assuming it started out in the nth state of the undriven oscillator (x,0=nx)wheren(x)is given by Equation 2.61), can be written as

n(x)=An(a^+)n0(x),withEn=(n+12)h (2.61).

localid="1656143246748" (x,1)=n(x-xc)eih[-(n+12)ht+mxc(x-xc2)+m220tf(t')xx(t')dt'](10.92).

(c) Show that the Eigen functions and Eigenvalues of H(t) are

n(x,t)=n(x-f);En(t)=(n+12)h-12m2f2 (10.93).

(d) Show that in the adiabatic approximation the classical position (Equation 10.91) reduces to xc(t)f(t)State the precise criterion for adiabaticity, in this context, as a constraint on the time derivative of f. Hint: Write sin[t-t']as(1/dt')cos[t-t']and use integration by parts.

(e) Confirm the adiabatic theorem for this example, by using the results in (c) and (d) to show that

(x,t)n(x,t)ein(t)ein(t)(10.94).

Check that the dynamic phase has the correct form (Equation 9.92). Is the geometric phase what you would expect?

ein(t),wheren(t)1hhtEn(t')dt'(9.92).

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)m(d2x/dt2)=-m2x+m2f,m(d2xc/dt2)=-m2f-m2xc,(b)z2-x2=?-2xxc+xc2;z2=?(x2-2xxc+xc2)=(x-xc)2

(c)(n+12)h,En=(n+12)h-12m2f2(d)xc(t)=f(t)-0t(dfdt')cos[t-t']dt'.

(e)The Dynamic phase form,

n(t)=-1h0tEn(t')dt'=-(n+12)t+m22h0tf2(t')dt',so(x,t)=n(x,t)ein(t)ein(t)

Step by step solution

01

(a)Determining the classical position of the oscillator.

Check the answer given:xc=0tft'sint-t'dt'xc0=0.:

xc=ftsint-t+20tft'cost-t'dt'=20tft'cost-t'dt'xc0=0.xc=2ftcost-t-30tft'sint-t'dt'=2ft-2xc.

Now the classical equation of motion is md2x/dt2=-m2x+m2f,md2xc/dt2=-m2f+m2xc,so it does satisfy the equation of motion, with the appropriate boundary conditions.

02

(b) Showing that the solution to the (time-dependent) Schrödinger equation for this oscillator.

Let zx-xcsox-xc=nz,andzdependsontaswellasx.

localid="1656140504979" t=dndz-xcei{}+nei{}ih-n+12h+mxcx-xc2-m2xc2+m22fxc.

=-n+12h+m222f-xc+xc2-xc22.t=-xcdndzei{}+i-n+12+m22h2xf-xc+xc2-xc22.

t=dndzei{}+nei{}ihmxc;2X2=d2ndz2ei{}+2dndzei{}ihmxc-mxch2nei{}.H=-h22m2X2+12m2x2-m2fx.

=-h22md2ndz2ei{}-h22m2d2ndzei{}imxch+h22mmxch2+12m2x2-m2x2-m2fx.

But -h2md22dz2+12m2z2n=n+12hn, So

H=n+12h-12m2z2-ihxcdndzei{}+m2xc2+12m2x2-m2fx.=?iht=-ihxcd?ndzei{}-h-n+12+m22h2xf-2xxc+xc2-12xc2.-12m2z2+m2xc2+12m2x2-m?2fx=?-m222xf-2xxc+xc2-1?2xc2

z2-x2=?-2xxc+xc2;x2-2xxc+xc2=x-xc2.

03

(c) Showing that the Eigen functions and Eigen values of H(t).

Eq. 11.140 H=-h22m2x2+12m2x2-2xf+f2-12m2f2. Shift origin:ux-f

H=-h22m2u2+12m2u2-12m2f2.

The first term is a simple harmonic oscillator in the variable u; the second is a constant (with respect to position). So the Eigenfunctions are nu, and the Eigenvalues are harmonic oscillator ones,n+12h,En=n+12h-12m2f2.

04

(d) Show that in the adiabatic approximation the classical position (Equation 11.141) reduces to xc(t)≈f(t).

Note thatsint-t'=1ddt'cost-t',soxct=0tft'ddt'cost-t'dt'

or

xct=ft'cost-t'0t,0tdfdt'cost-t'dt'=ft-0tdfdt'cost-t'dt'

(since f(0) = 0). Now, for an adiabatic process we want df/dt very small;

specifically: dfdt'ft.

0<t'tThen the integral is negligible compared to f(t), and we have xctft(Physically, this says that if you pull on the spring very gently, no fancy oscillations will occur; the mass just moves along as though attached to a string of fixed length.)

05

(e) Checking that the dynamic phase has the correct form.

Put xcfinto Eq. 10.93, using Eq. 10.93:

(x,1)=n(x,t)eih[-(n+12)ht+mf(x-f/2)+m220tf2(t')dt'].

The dynamic phase (Eq. 9.92) is

eint,where nt-1h0tEnt'dt'(11.92).

nt=-1h0tEnt'dt'=-n+12t+m22h0tf2t'dt',sox,t=nx,teinteint

Confirming Eq. 10.94, with the geometric phase given (ostensibly)

byrole="math" localid="1656143786553" nt=mhfx-f/2 . But the Eigenfunctions here are real, and this means the geometric phase should be zero. The point is that (in the adiabatic approximation)role="math" localid="1656143812413" f is extremely small (see above), and hence in this limitmhfx-f/20 (at least, in the only region of xnx,t is nonzero).

(a) Use Equation 10.42 to calculate the geometric phase change when the infinite square well expands adiabatically from width w1to width w2. Comment on this result.

(b) If the expansion occurs at a constant rate(dw/dt=v), what is the dynamic phase change for this process?

(c) If the well now contracts back to its original size, what is Berry's phase for the cycle?

The adiabatic approximation can be regarded as the first term in an adiabatic series for the coefficientsCm(t)in Equation. Suppose the system starts out in theth state; in the adiabatic approximation, it remains in theth state, picking up only a time-dependent geometric phase factor (Equation):

Cm(t)=mneiyn(t)

(a) Substitute this into the right side of Equationto obtain the "first correction" to adiabaticity:

Cm(t)=cm(0)-0t<mt'lt'n(t')>eiyn(t')ei(n(t')-t!(t'))dt'.[10.95]

This enables us to calculate transition probabilities in the nearly adiabatic regime. To develop the "second correction," we would insert Equationon the right side of Equation, and so on.


(b) As an example, apply Equationto the driven oscillator (Problem). Show that (in the near-adiabatic approximation) transitions are possible only to the two immediately adjacent levels, for which
