Abstract

This paper deals with quon algebras or deformed oscillator algebras, for which the deformation parameter is a root of unity.We motivate why such algebras are interesting for fractional supersymmetric quantum mechanics, angular momentum theory and quantum information.More precisely, quon algebras are used for (i) a realization of a generalized Weyl-Heisenberg algebra from which it is possible to associate a fractional supersymmetric dynamical system, (ii) a polar decomposition of SU 2 and (iii) a construction of mutually unbiased bases in Hilbert spaces of prime dimension.We also briefly discuss (symmetric informationally complete) positive operator valued measures in the spirit of (iii).

ANGULAR MOMENTUM AND MUTUALLY UNBIASED BASES

M. Kibler

The Lie algebra of the group SU 2 is constructed from two deformed oscillator algebras for which the deformation parameter is a root of unity. This leads to an unusual quantization scheme, the {J2, Ur} scheme, an alternative to the familiar {J2, Jz} quantization scheme corresponding to common eigenvectors of the Casimir operator J2 and the Cartan operator Jz. A connection is established between the eigenvectors of the complete set of commuting operators {J2, Ur} and mutually unbiased bases in spaces of constant angular momentum.

Representation Theory and Wigner-Racah Algebra of the SU(2) Group in a Noncanonical Basis

M. Kibler

The Lie algebra su(2) of the classical group SU(2) is built from two commuting quon algebras for which the deformation parameter is a common root of unity. This construction leads to (i) a not very well-known polar decomposition of the generators J- and J+ of the SU(2) group, with J+ = J-† = HUr where H is Hermitean and Ur unitary, and (ii) an alternative to the {J2,Jz} quantization scheme, viz., the {J2,Ur} quantization scheme. The representation theory of the SU(2) group can be developed in this nonstandard scheme. The key ideas for developing the Wigner-Racah algebra of the SU(2) group in the {J2,Ur} scheme are given. In particular, some properties of the coupling and recoupling coefficients as well as the Wigner-Eckart theorem in the {J2,Ur} scheme are examined in great detail.

ON FRACTIONAL SUPERSYMMETRIC QUANTUM MECHANICS: THE FRACTIONAL SUPERSYMMETRIC OSCILLATOR

Mohammed Daoud A, M. Kibler

The Hamiltonian for a fractional supersymmetric oscillator is derived from three approaches. The first one is based on a decomposition in which a Q-uon gives rise to an ordinary boson and a k-fermion (a k-fermion being an object interpolating between boson and fermion). The second one starts from a generalized Weyl-Heisenberg algebra. Finally, the third one relies on the quantum algebra Uq(sl(2)) where q is a root of unity.

The k-fermions as objects interpolating between fermions and bosons

Mohammed Daoud A, Y. Hassouni, M. Kibler

Operators, refered to as k-fermion operators, that interpolate between boson and fermion operators are introduced through the consideration of two noncommuting quon algebras. The deformation parameters for these quon algebras are roots of unity connected to an integer k. The case k=2 corresponds to fermions and the limiting case k going to infinity to bosons. Generalized coherent states and supercoherent states are investigated. The Dirac quantum phase operator and the Fairlie-Fletcher-Zachos algebra are also considered.

Generalized supercoherent states

Mohammed Daoud A, M. Kibler, Y. Hassouni

A set of operators, the so-called k-fermion operators, that interpolate between boson and fermion operators are introduced through the consideration of an algebra arising from two non-commuting quon algebras. The deformation parameters q and 1/q for these quon algebras are roots of unity with q to the power k being equal to 1. The case k = 2 corresponds to fermions and the case k going to infinity to bosons. Generalized coherent states (connected to the k-fermionic states) and super-coherent states (involving a k-fermionic sector and a purely bosonic sector) are investigated.

Bases for qudits from a nonstandard approach to SU(2)

M. Kibler

Bases of finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces (in dimension d) of relevance for quantum information and quantum computation are constructed from angular momentum theory and su(2) Lie algebraic methods. We report on a formula for deriving in one step the (1 + p)p qupits (i.e., qudits with d = p a prime integer) of a complete set of 1 + p mutually unbiased bases in C p . Repeated application of the formula can be used for generating mutually unbiased bases in C d with d = p e (e ≥ 2) a power of a prime integer. A connection between mutually unbiased bases and the unitary group SU(d) is briefly discussed in the case d = p e .
