Inverted oscillator

Abstract: The inverted harmonic oscillator problem is investigated quantum mechanically. The exact wave function for the confined inverted oscillator is obtained and it is shown that the associated energy eigenvalues are discrete and it is given as a linear function of the quantum number n.

“…Here the constant µ must be chosen in such a way that the inside of the square root should be positive for all q. As an example, consider the following inverted harmonic potential: V R = −V 2 0 q 2 , where V 0 is a real number [42]. Therefore the imaginary part of the potential reads…”

“…We point out that the Hamiltonians (4), (10), (13), (14), (20), (21), (25) and (28) generated from SU SY QM -R are non-Hermitian because the imaginary unit accompanies the reflection operator. As in the case of the simplest inverted oscillator, whose eigenfunctions are not L 2 (R)-square integrable for an arbitrary energy E ∈ C [28,39,36], the Hamiltonians and their definite parity eigenfunctions reported in this paper result to be non-L 2 (R)-square integrable. As a consequence of the properties of the confluent hypergeometric function, equations (8), (16), (23), (27) and (30) show that the spectrum of our different Hamiltonians is complex.…”

“…During this interval the atoms temporarily experience an antitrapping potential (like in an inverted harmonic oscillator, with the possibility of cooling first noticed in the conclusions of Ref. [14]) leading to an accelerated spreading of the wave function, after which the trap is flipped back to allow regrouping, and desired cooling, of the wave function by t = t f .…”
