TWO-VARIABLE HERMITE POLYNOMIALS AS TIME-EVOLUTIONAL TRANSITION AMPLITUDE FOR DRIVEN HARMONIC OSCILLATOR

Abstract

For the two-variable Hermite polynomials Hm,n(β,β*) we find its new physical explanation in the dynamics of a linear forced quantum harmonic oscillator (or a dispaced oscillator), i.e. Hm,n(β,β*) can be explained as the time-evolutional transition amplitude from an initial number state |m〉 at t0 to a final state |n〉 at t of the dispaced oscillator. Two new properties of the time-evolutional operator for driven oscillator are revealed.
