ENHANCED QUANTIZATION: THE PARTICLE ON THE CIRCLE

Published Aug 14, 2013• 1 citation

Abstract

Enhanced quantization is an improved program for overcoming difficulties which may arise during an ordinary canonical quantization procedure. We review here how this program applies for a particle on circle.

The Magnificent Realm of Affine Quantization: Valid Results for Particles, Fields, and Gravity

John R. Klauder, Riccardo Fantoni

Affine quantization is a relatively new procedure, and it can solve many new problems. This essay reviews this new, and novel, procedure for particle problems, as well as those of fields and gravity. New quantization tools, which are extremely close to, and even constructed from, the tools of canonical quantization, are able to fully solve selected problems that using the standard canonical quantization would fail. In particular, improvements can even be found with an affine quantization of fields, as well as gravity.

Enhanced quantization on the circle

Joseph Ben Geloun, John R. Klauder

We apply the quantization scheme introduced in Klauder 2012 (arXiv:1204.2870) to a particle on a circle. We find that the quantum action functional restricted to appropriate coherent states can be expressed as the classical action plus ℏ-corrections. We succeed in proving this for a Hamiltonian endowed with a general periodic potential. This result extends the examples presented in the cited paper for a system on a nontrivial configuration space topology.

Enhanced quantum procedures that resolve difficult problems

John R. Klauder

A careful study of the classical/quantum connection with the aid of coherent states offers new insights into various technical problems. This analysis includes both canonical as well as closely related affine quantization procedures. The new tools are applied to several examples including: (1) A quantum formulation that is invariant under arbitrary classical canonical transformations of coordinates; (2) A toy model that for all positive energy solutions has singularities which are removed at the classical level when the correct quantum corrections are applied; (3) A fairly simple model field theory with non-trivial classical behavior that, when conventionally quantized, becomes trivial, but nevertheless finds a proper solution using the enhanced procedures; (4) A model of scalar field theories with non-trivial classical behavior that, when conventionally quantized, becomes trivial, but nevertheless finds a proper solution using the enhanced procedures; (5) A viable formulation of the kinematics of quantum gravity that respects the strict positivity of the spatial metric in both its classical and quantum versions; and (6) A proposal for a non-trivial quantization of [Formula: see text] that is ripe for study by Monte Carlo computational methods. All of these examples use fairly general arguments that can be understood by a broad audience.
