摘要:
The quantum harmonic oscillator has the unique property that its energy levels are equally spaced. This property is connected, via the Wigner function, to the circular symmetry of the Hamiltonian inphasespace, hence to the close relation between harmonic oscillations and rotations, very familiar at the classical level. We here have an example of a spectral regularity which is due to a symmetry in phase space, rather than in configuration space, as is more usual.
