Algebraic approach to radial ladder operators in the hydrogen atom

Abstract: ABSTRACT:We add a phase variable and its corresponding operator to the description of the hydrogen atom. With the help of these additions, we device operators that act as ladder operators for the radial system. The algebra defined by the commutation relations between those operators has a Casimir operator coincident with the radial Hamiltonian of the problem. The algebra happens to be the well-known su(1,1) Lie algebra, hence the phase-dependent eigenfunctions calculated within our scheme belong in a represent… Show more

“…Because of there exist some quantum physical models whose solvability and square integrability are connected with the associated Laguerre polynomials. The Landau levels, Morse potential, Calogero-Sutherland model, half-oscillator, radial part of 3-D harmonic oscillator and radial part of a hydrogen-like atom are the six examples [25][26][27][28][29][30]. They play an important role in the quantum mechanics and have been considered by many authors in the framework of the coherent states theory [25,31,32].…”

“…Note that, the ladder operators can be derived using the algebraic or supersymmetric approaches [6][7][8][9] which have been successfully applied to the Morse, Pöschl-Teller, radial harmonic and other oscillators [10][11][12][13][14][15]. Recently, Dong et al have derived the raising and lowering operators for the Morse [16] and Pöschl-Teller potentials [17] employing some properties of the associated Laguerre and Legandre polynomials.…”
