Coherent states on a circle: the Higgs-like approach

Abstract

In this paper, the Higgs-like approach is used to analyze the quantum dynamics of a harmonic oscillator constrained on a circle. We obtain the Hamiltonian of this system as a function of the Cartesian coordinate of the tangent line through the gnomonic projection and then quantize it in the standard way. We then recast the Hamiltonian in a shape-invariant form and derive the spectrum energy of the confined harmonic oscillator on the circle. With help of the f-deformed oscillator algebra, we construct the coherent states on the circle and investigate their quantum statistical properties. We find that such states show nonclassical features like squeezing and sub-Poissonian statistics even in small curvatures of the circle.
