H2 Consider two harmonic oscillators described by the Hamiltonians łty = ħws (atât ta+2) and = ħwz (6+6 +) with â (h) and at (@t) being the annihilation and creation operators for the first (second) oscillator, respectively. The Hamiltonian of two non-interacting oscillators is given by Ĥ, = îl + Ĥ2. Its eigenstates are tensor products of the eigenstates of single-oscillator states: Ĥm, n) = En,m|n, m), where İn, m) = \n) |m) and n, m = 0,1,2, ... 1....
4. (30 points) Harmonic oscillator with perturbation Recall the Hamiltonian of an harmonic oscillator in 1D: p21 ÃO = + mwf?, where m is the mass of the particle and w is the angular frequency. Now, let us perturb the oscillator with a quadratic potential. The perturbation is given by Î' = zgmw?h?, where g is a dimensionless constant and g <1. (a) Write down the eigen-energies of the unperturbed Hamiltonian. (b) In Lecture 3, we introduced the lowering (or...
A particle of charge q and mass m is bound in the ground state of a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator potential with frequency oo. At time t-0 a weak spatially uniform electric field (E) is turned on, so that the perturbation to the Hamiltonian can be described as R'(t) =-q Exe-t/t for t> 0. Using first order, time-dependent perturbation theory, calculate the following probabilities: (a) the particle is detected in the first excited state after a very long time (t »...
