Abstract
We use the dynamical invariant method and a unitary transformation to
obtain the exact Schrodinger wave function, psi(n), (chi, t), and calculate for n = 0 the time-dependent joint entropy (Leipnik's entropy)
for two classes of quantum damped harmonic oscillators. We observe that
the joint entropy does not vary in time for the Caldirola-Kanai
oscillator, while it decreases and tends to a constant value (In (e/2))
for asymptotic times for the Lane Emden ones. This is due to the fact
that for the latter, the damping factor decreases as time increases. The
results show that the time dependence of the joint entropy is quite
complex and does not obey a general trend of monotonously increase with
time. (c) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
