Two dimensional harmonic oscillator
|
||
───────────────────────────────────
|
||
|
||
This is an oscillator with potential V(x,y) = μ/2 ω² (x² + y²)
|
||
|
||
The hamiltonian here leaves us with a 3-dimensional differential equation
|
||
|
||
Ĥ = ιp²/2μ + μ/2 ω² (x² + y²) = 1/2μ (p²𝓍 + p²𝓎 + p²𝓏) + μ/2 ω²(x² + y²)
|
||
|
||
(pic) This is then split into x,y, and z parts.
|
||
|
||
(pic) Solved Ψ(z)
|
||
|
||
|
||
Put together solutions of Ψ(x,y) and Ψ(z).
|
||
|
||
(pic) To find position space representation of Ψ(x,y), recall the Hermitian-- HARMONIC? DUBIOUS Polynomials solution

!!! STUDY THIS !!!
|

|

Developed the harmonic oscillator in polar coordinates
|
||
|
||
Ĥ𝓍𝓎 = -ħ²/2μ ∇² + μ/2 ω² r²
|
||
= -ħ²/2μ (∂²/∂r² + 1/r ∂/∂r + 1/r² ∂²/∂θ²) + μ/2 ω² r².
|
||
|
||
(pic) Can be solved using separation of variables.
|
||
|
||
Ψ(r,θ) = R(r) Θ(θ)
|
||
|
||
The problem is invariant under rotations about z, i.e. L̂𝓏 commutes with Ĥ, so the solutions must be eigenstates of both Ĥ and L̂𝓏.
|
||
|
||
Don't use L̂𝓏 Θ = ±ιmħ Θ
|
||
|
||
Use L̂𝓏² Θ = -m²ħ² Θ ⇒ Θ(θ) = exp(±imθ)
|
||
|
||
(pic) further developed hamiltonian using this information
|
||
|
||
Ĥ𝓍𝓎 = -ħ²/2μ (∂²/∂r² + 1/r ∂/∂r + 1/r² ∂²/∂θ²) + μ/2 ω² r².
|
||
= -ħ²/2μ (∂²/∂r² + 1/r ∂/∂r) + -ħ²/(2μr²) L̂𝓏²/ħ² + μ ω² r²/2
|
||
|
||
L̂𝓏² ≐ ħ²∂²/∂θ²
|
||
L̂𝓏 ≐ -ιħ∂/∂θ |
