A quantum description of bubble growth in a superheated fluid

Published 2009-07-03, updated 2010-06-04Version 3

We discuss a quantum description of bubble growth in a superheated liquid Helium by addressing the problem of operator ordering ambiguities that arise due to the presence of position dependent mass (PDM) in this system. Using a supersymmetric quantum mechanics formalism along with the Weyl quantization rule, we are able to identify specific operator orderings for this problem. This is a general method which should be applicable to other PDM systems.

Comments: 1 Figure. To be published in Phys. Lett A. v3: Updated abstract and significant changes from v2, in particular inclusion of a new section on Weyl transform
