Weyl-Heisenberg integral quantization(s): a compendium

Abstract

We present a list of formulae useful for Weyl-Heisenberg integral quantizations, with arbitrary weight, of functions or distributions on the plane. Most of these formulae are known, others are original. The list encompasses particular cases like Weyl-Wigner quantization (constant weight) and coherent states (CS) or Berezin quantization (Gaussian weight). The formulae are given with implicit assumptions on their validity on appropriate space(s) of functions (or distributions). One of the aims of the document is to accompany a work in progress on Weyl-Heisenberg integral quantization of dynamics for the motion of a point particle on the line.

Variations à la Fourier-Weyl-Wigner on Quantizations of the Plane and the Half-Plane

Hervé Bergeron, Jean‐Pierre Gazeau

Any quantization maps linearly functions on a phase space to symmetric operators in a Hilbert space. Covariant integral quantization combines operator-valued measure with symmetry group of the phase space. Covariant means that the quantization map intertwines classical (geometric operation) and quantum (unitary transformations) symmetries. Integral means that we use all ressources of integral calculus, in order to implement the method when we apply it to singular functions, or distributions, for which the integral calculus is an essential ingredient. In this paper we emphasize the deep connection between Fourier transform and covariant integral quantization when the Weyl-Heisenberg and affine groups are involved. We show with our generalisations of the Wigner-Weyl transform that many properties of the Weyl integral quantization, commonly viewed as optimal, are actually shared by a large family of integral quantizations.

Negative Probability and Uncertainty Relations

Thomas Curtright, COSMAS K. ZACHOS

A concise derivation of all uncertainty relations is given entirely within the context of phase-space quantization, without recourse to operator methods, to the direct use of Weyl’s correspondence, or to marginal distributions of x and p. Phase-space quantization is the third autonomous and logically complete formulation of quantum mechanics beyond the conventional ones based on operators in Hilbert space or path integrals [1, 2, 3]. It is free of operators and wavefunctions: observables and matrix elements are computed through phasespace integrals of c-number functions (“classical kernels”) weighted by a Wigner function (WF) [4, 3]. This is a phase-space distribution function which is not positive semi-definite, and constitutes the Weyl correspondent [5] of the density matrix in the conventional formulation, fmn(x,p) = 1 2π dye −iyp ψ ∗ m(x − � 2 y)ψn(x + � 2 y) = f ∗ nm(x,p).

Deformation quantization of geometric quantum mechanics

H García-Compeán, J F Plebanski, M Przanowski +1 more

Second quantization of a classical nonrelativistic one-particle system as a deformation quantization of the Schrödinger spinless field is considered. Under the assumption that the phase space of the Schrödinger field is ∞ , both the Weyl-Wigner-Moyal and Berezin deformation quantizations are discussed and compared. Then the geometric quantum mechanics is also quantized using the Berezin method under the assumption that the phase space is P ∞ endowed with the Fubini-Study Kählerian metric. Finally, the Wigner function for an arbitrary particle state and its evolution equation are obtained. As is shown this new `second quantization' leads to essentially different results than the former one. For instance, each state is an eigenstate of the total number particle operator and the corresponding eigenvalue is always 1/ℏ.

Second quantization of a classical nonrelativistic one-particle system as a deformation quantization of the Schrodinger spinless field is considered. Under the assumption that the phase space of the Schrodinger field is $C^{\\infty}$, both, the Weyl-Wigner-Moyal and Berezin deformation quantizations are discussed and compared. Then the geometric quantum mechanics is also quantized using the Berezin method under the assumption that the phase space is $CP^{\\infty}$ endowed with the Fubini-Study Kahlerian metric. Finally, the Wigner function for an arbitrary particle state and its evolution equation are obtained. As is shown this new "second quantization" leads to essentially different results than the former one. For instance, each state is an eigenstate of the total number particle operator and the corresponding eigenvalue is always ${1 \\over \\hbar}$.
