Anisotropic harmonic oscillator in a static electromagnetic field

Abstract

A nonrelativistic charged particle moving in an anisotropic harmonic oscillator potential plus a homogeneous static electromagnetic field is studied. Several configurations of the electromagnetic field are considered. The Schrödinger equation is solved analytically in most of the cases. The energy levels and wave functions are obtained explicitly. In some of the cases, the ground state obtained is not a minimum wave packet, though it is of the Gaussian type. Coherent and squeezed states and their time evolution are discussed in detail.
