We treat the quantum dynamics of a harmonic oscillator as well as its inverted counterpart in the Schr\"odinger picture. Generally in the most papers of the literature, the inverted harmonic oscillator is formally obtained from the harmonic…
The complex eigenvalues of some non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, e.g. parity-time symmetric Hamiltonians, come in complex-conjugate pairs. We show that for non-Hermitian scattering Hamiltonians (of a structureless particle in one dimension)…
We consider the classical superintegrable Hamiltonian system given by $H=T+U={p^2}/{2(1+\lambda q^2)}+{{\omega}^2 q^2}/{2(1+\lambda q^2)}$, where U is known to be the "intrinsic" oscillator potential on the Darboux spaces of nonconstant…

We study "the Caged Anisotropic Harmonic Oscillator", which is a new example of a superintegrable, or accidentally degenerate Hamiltonian. The potential is that of the harmonic oscillator with rational frequency ratio (l:m:n), but…
This work addresses a ${\theta}(\hat{x},\hat{p})-$deformation of the harmonic oscillator in a $2D-$phase space. Specifically, it concerns a quantum mechanics of the harmonic oscillator based on a noncanonical commutation relation depending…
In this article, we study the following Hamiltonian system: \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} \begin{aligned} &-\varepsilon^{2}\Delta_{g} u +u = |v|^{q-1}v, &-\varepsilon^{2}\Delta_{g} v +v = |u|^{p-1}u && \text{ in } \mathcal{M}, & \quad u,v…
In this note we present a notion of harmonic oscillator on the Heisenberg group $\mathbf{H}_n$ which forms the natural analogue of the harmonic oscillator on $\mathbb{R}^n$ under a few reasonable assumptions: the harmonic oscillator on…
Let $g$ and $\tilde{g}$ be Riemannian metrics on a noncompact manifold $M$, which are conformally equivalent. We show that under a very mild \emph{first order} control on the conformal factor, the wave operators corresponding to the…
This paper examines chains of $N$ coupled harmonic oscillators. In isolation, the $j$th oscillator ($1\leq j\leq N$) has the natural frequency $\omega_j$ and is described by the Hamiltonian $\frac{1}{2}p_j^2+\frac{1}{2}\omega_j^2x_j^2$. The…

We investigate a general system of two coupled harmonic oscillators with cubic nonlinearity. Without damping, the system is Hamiltonian, with the origin as an elliptic equilibrium characterized by two distinct linear frequencies. To…
Several explicit examples of quasi exactly solvable `discrete' quantum mechanical Hamiltonians are derived by deforming the well-known exactly solvable Hamiltonians of one degree of freedom. These are difference analogues of the well-known…
