This chapter addresses the adiabatic invariant for a mathematical pendulum, a model of a “gas” consisting of a single molecule in a piston, adiabatic approximation, and a simplified model of an ion H2+. The chapter also discusses the connection between the volume and the pressure of a gas consisting of particles inside an elastic cube, the adiabatic invariants for a charged anisotropic harmonic oscillator in a uniform magnetic field, a magnetic trap, and the action and angle variables for the simple systems.

We show that the recently proposed invariant eigenoperator method can be successfully applied to solving energy levels of electron in an anisotropic quantum dot in the presence of a uniform magnetic field (UMF). The result reduces to the energy level of electron in isotropic harmonic oscillator potential and in UMF naturally. The Landau diamagnetism decreases due to the existence of the anisotropic harmonic potential.

In the newly constructed entangled state representation embodying quantum entanglement of Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen, the usual wave function of atomic coherent state ∣τ〉 = exp (μJ+-μ*J-)∣j, -j〉 turns out to be just proportional to a single-variable ordinary Hermite polynomial of order 2j, where j is the spin value. We then prove that a two-dimensional time-independent anisotropic harmonic oscillator in a uniform magnetic field possesses energy eigenstates which can be classified as the states ∣τ〉 in terms of the spin values j.

We study the problem of a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field with two different gauges, known as Landau and symmetric gauges. By using a similarity transformation in terms of the displacement operator we show that, for the Landau gauge, the eigenfunctions for this problem are the harmonic oscillator number coherent states. In the symmetric gauge, we calculate the SU(1; 1) Perelomov number coherent states for this problem in cylindrical coordinates in a closed form. Finally, we show that these Perelomov number coherent states are related to the harmonic oscillator number coherent states by the contraction of the SU(1; 1) group to the Heisenberg-Weyl group.
