Quantum ring models and action-angle variables

TL;DR

This paper introduces the use of action-angle variables to analyze quantum ring models, presenting new models for both Euclidean and spherical quantum rings, and examining their behavior under magnetic fields.

Contribution

It develops action-angle variable formulations for three quantum ring models, including two spherical oscillators, and assesses their suitability in magnetic field studies.

Findings

Action-angle variables are effective for quantum ring analysis.

The spherical Higgs oscillator is less suitable in magnetic fields.

The CP(1) oscillator model accommodates magnetic field effects.

Abstract

We suggest to use the action-angle variables for the study of properties of (quasi)particles in quantum rings. For this purpose we present the action-angle variables for three two-dimensional singular oscillator systems. The first one is the usual (Euclidean) singular oscillator, which plays the role of the confinement potential for the quantum ring. We also propose two singular spherical oscillator models for the role of the confinement system for the spherical ring. The first one is based on the standard Higgs oscillator potential. We show that, in spite of the presence of a hidden symmetry, it is not convenient for the study of the system's behaviour in a magnetic field. The second model is based on the so-called CP(1) oscillator potential and respects the inclusion of a constant magnetic field.
