Description

We present a generalized equations-of-motion method that efficiently calculates energy spectra and matrix elements for algebraic models. The method is applied to a 5-dimensional quartic oscillator that exhibits a quantum phase transition between vibrational and rotational phases. For certain parameters, 10 by 10 matrices give better results than obtained by diagonalising 1000 by 1000 matrices.
