An application of the theta operator in generalized hypergeometric coherent states formalism

Abstract

In this paper we examine one of the multiple applications of the theta operator xd/dx in quantum mechanics, namely, in the formalism of generalized hypergeometric coherent states (GHG CSs). These states are the most general coherent states, in the sense that from them, through particularization, all coherent states with physical meaning can be obtained. A series of new results were obtained and some already known ones were found / confirmed (the integral representations, as well as the Laplace transform of hypergeometric functions). To support the theoretical considerations presented above, we examined, as example, the quantum systems with a linear energy spectrum. The results obtained in this paper contribute to widening the area of applicability of the theta operator.

Some operatorial properties of the generalized hypergeometric coherent states

Dušan Popov, Miodrag Popov

The technique regarding the integration within a normally ordered product of operators, which refers to the creation and annihilation operators of the harmonic oscillator coherent states, has proved to be very fruitful for different operator identities and applications in quantum optics. In this paper we propose a generalization of this technique by introducing a new operatorial approach—the diagonal ordering operation technique (DOOT)—regarding the calculations connected with the normally ordered product of generalized creation and annihilation operators that generate the generalized hypergeometric coherent states. We have pointed out a number of properties of these coherent states, including the case of mixed (thermal) states. At the same time, by particularizing the obtained results to the one-dimensional harmonic and pseudoharmonic oscillators, we get the well-known results achieved through other methods in the corresponding coherent states representation.

Some new considerations about the ννν-function

Dušan Popov

The present paper starts from a previously deduced result, in which the $ν$-function plays the role of the normalization function of generalized hypergeometric coherent states for quantum systems with a continuous spectrum. We have generalized this idea, obtaining a new function, the generalized $ν$-function. By defining a discrete-continuous limit, we revealed a series of interesting properties that, in the last instance, allow the formulation and solution of new integrals involving the generalized $ν$-functions which depend on both scalar arguments as well as those containing creation and annihilation operators, which generate the generalized hypergeometric coherent states. To our knowledge, the results obtained by us do not appear in the literature.

A new application of the Fox-Wright functions: the coherent states formalism

Dušan Popov

In this paper we extend the applicability of Fox-Wright functions beyond mathematics, specifically in quantum physics. We focused our attention on a new application, on the connection between the Fox-Wright functions and the generalized coherent states formalism. We constructed the generalized coherent states in the Barut-Girardello manner, in which the Fox-Wright functions play the role of normalization functions, and we demonstrated that the Fox-Wright coherent states satisfy all general conditions imposed on the set of coherent states. In parallel, we examined the properties of both pure and mixed (thermal) Fox-Wright coherent states. All calculations were performed within the diagonal operators ordering technique (DOOT) using the Dirac's bra-ket formalism. Finally, we introduced some (specifically, integral) feedback elements that Fox-Wright coherent states induce in the theory of special functions, including a new integral representation of Fox-Wright functions.

Generalized hypergeometric coherent states

Thomas Appl, Diethard H Schiller

We introduce a large class of holomorphic quantum states by choosing their normalization functions to be given by generalized hypergeometric functions. We call them generalized hypergeometric states in general, and generalized hypergeometric coherent states in particular, if they allow a resolution of unity. Depending on the domain of convergence of the generalized hypergeometric functions, we distinguish generalized hypergeometric states on the plane, the open unit disc and the unit circle. All states are eigenstates of suitably defined lowering operators. We then study their photon number statistics and phase properties as revealed by the Husimi and Pegg–Barnett phase distributions. On the basis of the generalized hypergeometric coherent states we introduce new analytic representations of arbitrary quantum states in Bargmann and Hardy spaces as well as generalized hypergeometric Husimi distributions and corresponding phase distributions.

A century of coherent states

Dusan Popov

During the century of existence of the notion of coherent states, either linear or nonlinear, several schemes for their construction, theoretical or experimental, have been developed. Generally, the mathematical structure of coherent states depends on the choice of ladder operators, and consequently on the structure constants. In this paper, we propose a way to construct generalized coherent states for anharmonic oscillators that is based on a diagonal operator ordering technique (DOOT) applied to generalized hypergeometric functions, that is, on some of the most general special functions. These states are generated by the action of a pair of ladder operators, the creation and the annihilation, whose ordered normal product is equal to the dimensionless Hamiltonian of the quantum system. In addition, the action of these operators is easy to find if the expression for the dimensionless energy eigenvalues is known.
