Exact solution of damped harmonic oscillator with a magnetic field in a time dependent noncommutative space

Abstract

In this paper we have obtained the exact eigenstates of a two dimensional damped harmonic oscillator in the presence of an external magnetic field varying with respect to time in time dependent noncommutative space. It has been observed that for some specific choices of the damping factor, the time dependent frequency of the oscillator and the time dependent external magnetic field, there exists interesting solutions of the time dependent noncommutative parameters following from the solutions of the Ermakov-Pinney equation. Further, these solutions enable us to get exact analytic forms for the phase which relates the eigenstates of the Hamiltonian with the eigenstates of the Lewis invariant. Then we compute the expectation value of the Hamiltonian. The expectation values of the energy are found to vary with time for different solutions of the Ermakov-Pinney equation corresponding to different choices of the damping factor, the time dependent frequency of the oscillator and the time dependent applied magnetic field. We also compare our results with those in the absence of the magnetic field obtained earlier.
