Abstract
We investigate the energy spectrum structure of a system of two (identical) interacting bosonic wells occupied by N bosons within the Schwinger realization of the angular momentum. This picture enables us to recognize the symmetry properties of the system Hamiltonian H and to use them for characterizing the energy eigenstates. Also, it allows for the derivation of the single-boson picture that is shown to be the background picture naturally involved by the secular equation for H. After deriving the corresponding eigenvalue equation, we recast it in a recursive N-dependent form that suggests a way to generate the level doublets (characterizing the H spectrum) via suitable inner parameters. Finally, we show how the presence of doublets in the spectrum allows us to recover, in the classical limit, the symmetry-breaking effect that characterizes the system classically. ©2001 The American Physical Society.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
