Driving collective RPA modes by a time-dependent Dyson map
Abstract
We study a time-dependent non-Hermitian generalisation of the Sch\"utte-Da~Provid\^encia model describing a bosonic mode coupled to collective particle-hole excitations. Using a time-dependent Dyson map, we construct a Hermitian counterpart and reduce the collective fermionic sector by means of the random phase approximation (RPA). The resulting dynamics is mapped to two time-dependent harmonic-oscillator branches with instantaneous RPA frequencies . We determine the corresponding stability regions and compute transition probabilities between instantaneous oscillator states. In first-order instantaneous-basis perturbation theory the leading transition is proportional to , showing that it is purely nonadiabatic and absent in the time-independent case. We compare this result with exact Lewis-Riesenfeld transition amplitudes within the RPA approximation. Numerical examples show that different components of the Dyson map provide distinct driving mechanisms: the scaling parameter modulates the effective coupling, while the squeezing parameter acts through a moving-boundary contribution. In both cases the induced collective transitions exhibit parametric-resonance peaks and sideband structures.
