Gen. 32, 5823 (1999) | | Subject: | Condensed Matter; Pattern Formation and Solitons | cond-mat nlin.PS patt-sol quant-ph | | Abstract: | We use coherent states as a time-dependent variational ansatz for a semiclassical treatment of the dynamics of anharmonic quantum oscillators. In this approach the square variance of the Hamiltonian within coherent states is of particular interest. This quantity turns out to have natural interpretation with respect to time-dependent solutions of the semiclassical equations of motion. Moreover, our approach allows for an estimate of the decoherence time of a classical object due to quantum fluctuations. We illustrate our findings at the example of the Toda chain. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/9811371 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
