A simplified operator correspondence scheme is derived to address nonlinear quantum systems within the framework of the [Formula: see text]-representation. The simplified method is applied to a general nonlinear quantum oscillator model that has been used in the literature to describe nonlinear quantum optical and matter wave systems. The [Formula: see text]-representation evolution equation for the model is derived for arbitrary nonlinearity exponents. It is shown that in the high temperature case, the [Formula: see text]-representation is sufficient to describe the model and its associated systems such that there is no need to use alternative, mathematically more involved representations. Systems with quadratic and cubic nonlinearities are considered in more detail. Distributions for the energy levels and photon and particle numbers are obtained within the framework of the [Formula: see text]-representation. Moreover, the electrical field oscillation frequency dependency is studied numerically when interpreting the model as model for quantum optical nonlinear oscillators.

The main motivation of this article is to derive sufficient conditions for dynamical stability of periodically driven quantum systems described by a Hamiltonian H(t), i.e. conditions under which it holds true sup t ∈ ℝ|〈ψt, H(t)ψt〉| < ∞ where ψt denotes a trajectory at time t of the quantum system under consideration. We start from an analysis of the domain of the quasi-energy operator. Next, we show, under certain assumptions, that if the spectrum of the monodromy (Floquet) operator U(T, 0) is pure point then there exists a dense subspace of initial conditions for which the mean value of the energy is uniformly bounded in the course of time. Further, we show that if the propagator admits a differentiable Floquet decomposition then ‖H(t)ψt‖ is bounded in time for any initial condition ψ0, and one employs the quantum KAM algorithm to prove the existence of this type of decomposition for a fairly large class of H(t). In addition, we derive bounds uniform in time on transition probabilities between different energy levels, and we also propose an extension of this approach to the case of a higher order of differentiability of the Floquet decomposition. The procedure is demonstrated on a solvable example of the periodically time-dependent harmonic oscillator.

A new kind of shift operators for infinite circular and spherical wells is identified. These shift operators depend on all spatial variables of quantum systems and connect some eigenstates of confined systems of different radiiRsharing energy levels with a common eigenvalue. In circular well, the momentum operatorsP±=Px±iPyplay the role of shift operators. ThePxandPyoperators, the third projection of the orbital angular momentum operatorLz, and the HamiltonianHform a complete set of commuting operators with the SO(2) symmetry. In spherical well, the shift operators establish a novel relation betweenψlm(r)andψ(l±1)(m±1)(r).

In this paper, the generalized Dirac oscillator with [Formula: see text]-Poincaré algebra is structured by replacing the momentum operator p with [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text]-deformation Dirac equation. The deformed radial equation is derived for this model. Particularly, by solving the deformed radial equation, the wave functions and energy spectra which depend on deformation parameter [Formula: see text] have been obtained for these quantum systems with [Formula: see text] being a Yukawa-type potential, inverse-square-type singular potential and central fraction power singular potential in two-dimensional space, respectively. The results show that the deformation parameter [Formula: see text] can lead to decreasing of energy levels for the above quantum systems. At the same time, the degeneracy of energy spectra has been discussed and the corresponding conditions of degeneracy have been given for each case.

Radiation is a process common to classical and quantum systems with very different effects in each regime. In a quantum system, the interaction of a bound electron with its own radiation field leads to complex shifts in the energy levels of the electron, with the real part of the shift corresponding to a shift in the energy level and the imaginary part to the width of the energy level. The most celebrated radiative shift is the Lamb shift between the 2 s 1 / 2 and the 2 p 1 / 2 levels of the hydrogen atom. The measurement of this shift in 1947 by Willis Lamb Jr. proved that the prediction by Dirac theory that the energy levels were degenerate was incorrect. Hans Bethe’s calculation of the shift showed how to deal with the divergences plaguing the existing theories and led to the understanding that interactions with the zero-point vacuum field, the lowest energy state of the quantized electromagnetic field, have measurable effects, not just resetting the zero of energy. This understanding led to the development of modern quantum electrodynamics (QED). This historical pedagogic paper explores the history of Bethe’s calculation and its significance. It explores radiative effects in classical and quantum systems from different perspectives, with the emphasis on understanding the fundamental physical phenomena. Illustrations are drawn from systems with central forces, the H atom, and the three-dimensional harmonic oscillator. A first-order QED calculation of the complex radiative shift for a spinless electron is explored using the equations of motion and the m a s s 2 operator, describing the fundamental phenomena involved, and relating the results to Feynman diagrams.

It is the purpose of the present article to show that so-called network models, originally designed to describe static properties of disordered electronic systems, can be easily generalized to quantum-dynamical models, which then allow for an investigation of dynamical and spectral aspects. This concept is exemplified by the Chalker–Coddington model for the quantum Hall effect and a three-dimensional generalization of it. We simulate phase coherent diffusion of wave packets and consider spatial and spectral correlations of network eigenstates as well as the distribution of (quasi-)energy levels. Apart from that, it is demonstrated how network models can be used to determine two-point conductances. Our numerical calculations for the three-dimensional model at the Metal-Insulator transition point delivers, among others, an anomalous diffusion exponent of η=3-D2=1.7±0.1. The methods presented here in detail have been used partially in earlier work.
