Momentum and Position Representations for the q-deformed Euclidean Quantum Space

Abstract

We summarize some basics about mathematical tools of analysis for the q-deformed Euclidean space. We use the new tools to examine q-deformed eigenfunctions of the momentum or position operator within the framework of the star product formalism. We show that these two systems of functions are complete and orthonormal. With the q-deformed momentum or position eigenfunctions, we calculate matrix elements of the momentum or position operator. Considerations about expectation values and probability densities conclude the studies.

Quantum kinematics on q-deformed quantum spaces II, Wave functions on position and momentum space

Hartmut Wachter

The aim of Part II of this paper is to try to describe wave functions on q-deformed versions of position and momentum space. This task is done within the framework developed in Part I of the paper. In order to make Part II self-contained the most important results of Part I are reviewed. Then it is shown that q-deformed exponentials and q-deformed delta functions play the role of momentum and position eigenfunctions, respectively. Their completeness and orthonormality relations are derived. For both bases of eigenfunctions matrix elements of position and momentum operators are calculated. A q-deformed version of the spectral decomposition of multiplication operators is discussed and q-analogs of Heaviside functions are proposed. Interpreting the results from the point of view provided by the concept of quasipoints gives the formalism a physical meaning. The definition of expectation values and the calculation of probability densities are explained in detail. Finally, it is outlined how the considerations so far carry over to antisymmetrized spaces.

Non-relativistic Schroedinger theory on q-deformed quantum spaces I, Mathematical framework and equations of motion

Hartmut Wachter

The aim of these three papers (I, II, and III) is to develop a q-deformed version of non-relativistic Schroedinger theory. Paper I introduces the fundamental mathematical and physical concepts. The braided line and the three-dimensional q-deformed Euclidean space play the role of position space. For both cases the algebraic framework is extended by a time element. A short review of the elements of q-deformed analysis on the spaces under consideration is given. The time evolution operator is introduced in a consistent way and its basic properties are discussed. These reasonings are continued by proposing q-deformed analogs of the Schroedinger and the Heisenberg picture.

Schr\"odinger field on the q-deformed Euclidean quantum space

Hartmut Wachter

We consider time-dependent Schr\odinger equations for a free non-relativistic particle on the q-deformed Euclidean quantum space. We determine plane wave solutions to these Schr\odinger equations and show that they form a complete orthonormal system. We can write down expressions for propagators of a non-relativistic particle with our q-deformed plane wave solutions. Considerations about expectation values for the position or momentum of a non-relativistic particle conclude our studies.

Non-relativistic Schroedinger theory on q-deformed quantum spaces II, The free non-relativistic particle and its interactions

Hartmut Wachter

This is the second part of a paper about a q-deformed analog of non-relativistic Schroedinger theory. It applies the general ideas of part I and tries to give a description of one-particle states on q-deformed quantum spaces like the braided line or the q-deformed Euclidean space in three dimensions. Hamiltonian operators for the free q-deformed particle in one as well as three dimensions are introduced. Plane waves as solutions to the corresponding Schroedinger equations are considered. Their completeness and orthonormality relations are written down. Expectation values of position and momentum observables are taken with respect to one-particle states and their time-dependence is discussed. A potential is added to the free-particle Hamiltonians and q-analogs of the Ehrenfest theorem are derived from the Heisenberg equations of motion. The conservation of probability is proved.

Scattering of a particle on the $q$-deformed Euclidean space

Wachter, Hartmut

We develop a formalism for the scattering of a particle on the $q$-deformed Euclidean space. We write down $q$-versions of the Lippmann-Schwinger equation. Their iterative solutions for a weak scattering potential lead us to $q$-versions of the Born series. With the expressions for the wave functions of the scattered particle, we can write down S-matrix elements. We show that these S-matrix elements satisfy unitarity conditions. Considerations about the interaction picture for a quantum system in the $q$-deformed Euclidean space and a discussion of a $q$-version of time-dependent perturbation theory conclude our studies.

THE q-DEFORMED SCHRÖDINGER EQUATION OF THE HARMONIC OSCILLATOR ON THE QUANTUM EUCLIDEAN SPACE

Ursula Carow-Watamura, Satoshi Watamura

We consider the q-deformed Schrödinger equation of the harmonic oscillator on the N-dimensional quantum Euclidean space. The creation and annihilation operators are found, which systematically produce all energy levels and eigenfunctions of the Schrödinger equation. In order to get the q series representation of the eigenfunction, we also give an alternative way to solve the Schrödinger equation which is based on the q analysis. We represent the Schrödinger equation by the q difference equation and solve it by using q polynomials and q exponential functions.
