Isospectral Hamiltonian for position-dependent mass for an arbitrary quantum system and coherent states

By means of the unitary transformation, a new way for discussing the ordering prescription of the Schrodinger equation with a position-dependent mass (PDM) for isospectral Hamiltonian operators is presented. We show that the ambiguity parameter choices in the kinetic part of the Hamiltonian can be explained through an exact SUSY QM symmetry as well as a consequence of an accidental symmetry under the Z(2) action. By making use of the unitary transformation, we construct coherent states for a family of PDM isospectral Hamiltonians from a suitable choice of ladder operators. We show that these states preserve the usual structure of Klauder-Perelomov's states and thus saturate and minimize the position-momentum uncertainty relation (PMUR) under some special restrictions. We show that PMUR properties can be used to determine the sign of the superpotential. Published by AIP Publishing.
