Abstract

We find a new integration transformation which can convert a chirplet function to a fractional Fourier transformation kernel; this new transformation is invertible and obeys Parseval theorem. Under this transformation a new relationship between a phase space function and its Weyl–Wigner quantum correspondence operator is revealed.

New complex integration transformation and its compatibility with complex Weyl-Wigner transformation and entangled state representation

Hong-Yi Fan, Cui-hong Lv

Enlightened by the special transformation in our preceding paper [J. Mod. Opt. 56, 1227 (2009)], we propose a new complex integration transformation corresponding to two mutually conjugate two-mode entangled states <eta| and <xi| that is compatible with eta-xi phase space quantum mechanics and can be used to obtain the complex fractional Fourier transformation kernel from the chirplet function. This transformation obeys the Parseval theorem and is invertible.

Optical complex integration-transform for deriving complex fractional squeezing operator*

Ke Zhang, Chengyu Fan, Hong-Yi Fan

We find a new complex integration-transform which can establish a new relationship between a two-mode operator’s matrix element in the entangled state representation and its Wigner function. This integration keeps modulus invariant and therefore invertible. Based on this and the Weyl–Wigner correspondence theory, we find a two-mode operator which is responsible for complex fractional squeezing transformation. The entangled state representation and the Weyl ordering form of the two-mode Wigner operator are fully used in our derivation which brings convenience.

Fractional Fourier Transformation for Quantum Mechanical Wave Functions Studied by Virtue of IWOP Technique

Fan Hong‐Yi, Fan Yue

Starting from the optical fractional Fourier transform (FFT) and using the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators we establish a formalism of FFT for quantum mechanical wave functions. In doing so, the essence of FFT can be seen more clearly, and the FFT of some wave functions can be derived more directly and concisely. We also point out that different FFT integral kernels correspond to different quantum mechanical representations. They are generalized FFT. The relationship between the FFT and the rotated Wigner operator is studied by virtue of the Weyl ordered form of the Wigner operator.

A New Kind of Integration Transformation in Phase Space Related to Two Mutually Conjugate Entangled-State Representations and Its Uses in Weyl Ordering of Operators

Cui-hong Lv, Fan Hong‐Yi

Based on the two mutually conjugate entangled state representations |ξ⟩ and |η⟩, we propose an integration transformation in ξ — η phase space , and its inverse transformation, which possesses some well-behaved transformation properties, such as being invertible and the Parseval theorem. This integral transformation is a convolution, where one of the factors is fixed as a special normalized exponential function. We generalize this transformation to a quantum mechanical case and apply it to studying the Weyl ordering of bipartite operators, regarding to ( Q 1 – Q 2 ) ↔ ( P 1 – P 2 ) ordered and simultaneously ( P 1 + P 2 ) ↔ ( Q 1 + Q 2 ) ordered operators.

Implementation of quantum and classical discrete fractional Fourier transforms

Steffen Weimann, Armando Pérez-Leija, Maxime Lebugle +9 more

Fourier transforms, integer and fractional, are ubiquitous mathematical tools in basic and applied science. Certainly, since the ordinary Fourier transform is merely a particular case of a continuous set of fractional Fourier domains, every property and application of the ordinary Fourier transform becomes a special case of the fractional Fourier transform. Despite the great practical importance of the discrete Fourier transform, implementation of fractional orders of the corresponding discrete operation has been elusive. Here we report classical and quantum optical realizations of the discrete fractional Fourier transform. In the context of classical optics, we implement discrete fractional Fourier transforms of exemplary wave functions and experimentally demonstrate the shift theorem. Moreover, we apply this approach in the quantum realm to Fourier transform separable and path-entangled biphoton wave functions. The proposed approach is versatile and could find applications in various fields where Fourier transforms are essential tools.
