The present paper finds the complete set of exact solutions of the general time-dependent dynamical models for quantum decoherence, by making use of the Lewis–Riesenfeld invariant theory and the invariant-related unitary transformation formulation. Based on this, the general explicit expression for the decoherence factor is then obtained and the adiabatic classical limit of an illustrative example is discussed. The result (i.e., the adiabatic classical limit) obtained in this paper is consistent with what is obtained by other authors, and furthermore we obtain more general results concerning time-dependent nonadiabatic quantum decoherence. It is shown that the invariant theory is appropriate for treating both the time-dependent quantum decoherence and the geometric phase factor. PACS Nos.: 03.65.Ge, 03.65.Bz

We consider the most general Time-Dependent (TD) quadratic Hamiltonian written in terms of the bosonic operators a and a+, which may represent either a charged particle subjected to a harmonic motion, immersed in a TD uniform magnetic field, or a single mode photon field going through a squeezing medium. We solve the TD Schrödinger equation by a method that uses, sequentially, a TD unitary transformation and the diagonalization of a TD invariant, and we verify that the exact solution is a complete set of TD states. We also obtain the evolution operator which is essential to express operators in the Heisenberg picture. The variances of the quadratures are calculated and a phase space of parameters introduced, in which we identify squeezing regions. The results for some special cases are presented and as an illustrative example the parametric oscillator is revisited and the trajectories in phase space drawn.

By using the Lewis–Riesenfeld invariant theory, we have studied the geometric phase in the condensed vapor of Rb under pressure and external time-dependent magnetic field. We find that the geometric phase in the cycle case has nothing to do with the coupling constant between electron and atomic nucleus, and the external time-dependent magnetic field.

By using of the invariant theory, we have studied the generalized time-dependent giant spin model. The dynamical and geometric phases are given, respectively. The Aharonov–Anandan phase is also obtained under the cyclical evolution.

The most general time-dependent Hamiltonian for a harmonic oscillator is both linear and quadratic in the coordinate and the canonical momentum. It describes in general a harmonic oscillator with mass, spring “constant,” and friction (or antifriction) “constant,” all of which are time dependent, that is acted on by a time-dependent force. A generalized Hannay angle, which is gauge invariant, is defined by making a distinction between the Hamiltonian and the energy. The generalized Hannay angle is the classical counterpart of the generalized Berry phase in quantum theory. When friction is present the generalized Hannay angle is nonzero. If the Hamiltonian is (incorrectly) chosen to be the energy, the generalized Hannay angle is different. Nevertheless, in the adiabatic case the same total angle is obtained.
