A GENERALIZATION OF THE CONCEPT OF BOSON: THE SYMPLECTON,

Lawrence C. Biedenharn, James D. Louck

Published Jan 1, 1970• 0 citations
OpenAlex

Abstract

Abstract : The paper demonstrates by explicit construction a primitive minimal realization of the SU(2) approximately equal to Sp(2) symmetry group in terms of a single boson operator. Our construction denies the usual boson rule, and as such constitutes a true generalization of the concept of boson. The resulting inherently conjugation symmetric structure is denoted as a symplecton. (Author)

Quantum matrix algebras s u q (2) are realized in terms of single-state boson operators and their conjugates, ( a + , a ), ( b + , b ), etc., specified as quantum analogs of symplectons. The boson operators obey the linear transformation of S U q (2) such as a ′ + = a + x + a v and a ′ = a + u + a y . Here, x , u , v , y are non-commutative elements which commute with a + and a . Commutation relations for creation and annihilation operators are determined so as to be invariant under the linear transformation. Exchange algebras with the universal R j ′ j ′′ matrix are realized in terms of P ( j ′ , m ′ ; b ), P ( j ′′ , m ′′ ; a ), etc., where P ( j ′ , m ′ ; b ) is the j z ′ = m ′ component of rank- j ′ tensor written as an order-2 j ′ polynomial in b + and b .

Symmetrizing The Symmetrization Postulate

Michael York

Abstract. Reasonable requirements of (a) physical invariance under particle permutation and (b) physical completeness of state descriptions [1], enable us to deduce a Symmetric Permutation Rule(SPR): that by taking care with our state descriptions, it is always possible to construct state vectors (or wave functions) that are purely symmetric under pure permutation for all particles, regardless of type distinguishability or spin. The conventional exchange antisymmetry for two identical half-integer spin particles is shown to be due to a subtle interdependence in the individual state descriptions arising from an inherent geometrical asymmetry. For three or more such particles, however, antisymmetrization of the state vector for all pairs simultaneously is shown to be impossible and the SPR makes observably different predictions, although the usual pairwise exclusion rules are maintained. The usual caveat of fermion antisymmetrization – that composite integer spin particles (with fermionic consitituents) behave only approximately like bosons – is no longer necessary. I TERMINOLOGY

Intrinsic Quantum Codes

Eric Kubischta, Ian Teixeira

We introduce an intrinsic formulation of quantum error correction based on representation theory, in which error-protection structure is encoded directly in a unitary group representation, rather than being tied to a particular embedding into a larger Hilbert space. In this framework, error models are classified according to the isotypic decomposition of the conjugation action on the operator algebra. Our main result, the \emph{Schur bootstrap}, shows that if an intrinsic code satisfies the Knill--Laflamme conditions on a given symmetry sector, then the same error-protection relations hold for every extrinsic realization obtained from a group-equivariant isometric embedding into a larger Hilbert space. Thus a single intrinsic verification certifies the corresponding symmetry-resolved error-correction conditions across an entire family of physical realizations. We further introduce an intrinsic notion of distance, called depth, defined via adjoint order. For standard multi-qudit systems this coincides with conventional code distance, while for more general representations it refines the usual weight-based notion. We also prove an intrinsic Eastin--Knill theorem: any intrinsic code of depth at least two has a discrete logical symmetry group, with the obstruction to continuous covariant gates arising from the representation-theoretic structure of the adjoint action. We illustrate the framework with several examples, including a minimal $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ construction that unifies permutation-invariant qubit codes and bosonic codes, and higher-dimensional constructions exhibiting transversal Clifford symmetries and realizations beyond qubit systems.

Comment on the Bosonization Structure of Fermions

Ruan Tu-Nan, Sicong Jing, An Min Wang

A new method of constructing fermions in terms of the usual single-mode boson is proposed in this letter. The operator and normal product forms of the bosonization structure of the fermion are obtained in this case.
