Anharmonic oscillators and generalized squeezed states

We present a new method to study the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of anharmonic oscillators. It involves a new class of Bogoliubov transformations and leads to the introduction of k-photon coherent states. We consider the Hamiltonians for the simple harmonic and anharmonic oscillators as the two generators of a Lie algebra, whose other generators may be found exactly, or up to any desired order of the perturbation parameter involved. An element of this Lie group, turning out to be the multi-photon operator, transforms the anharmonic Hamiltonian to the harmonic one, thus facilitating the calculation of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the former. The transformation of the ordinary annihilation and creation operators leads to generalized ones, corresponding to generalized oscillation modes, and also helps us out to introduce multi-photon coherent states. We specifically consider four-photon coherent states in detail and study time dependent position and momentum uncertainties in these states.
