A relativistic windowed Fourier transform

Abstract

Drawing upon some earlier work on coherent states of the Poincare' group in l-space and l-time dimensions, we use these states to define a relativistic windowed Fourier transform, as relativistic extension of the usual windowed Fourier transform. We discretize the resulting transform and obtain conditions under which the discretized transform can be used to reconstruct arbitrary square integrable functions. We present some numerical and graphical exercises to illustrate the theory, as well as to compare the relativistic windowed Fourier transform with the orthodox windowed Fourier transform.

Coherent states of the Poincare group, related frames and transforms

Mohammed Rezaul Karim

We construct here families of coherent states for the full Poincare group, for representations corresponding to mass $m>0$ and arbitrary integral or half-integral spin. Each family of coherent states is defined by an affine section in the group and constitutes a frame. The sections, in their turn, are determined by particular velocity vector fields, the latter always appearing in dual pairs. We discretize the coherent states of Poincare group in 1-space and 1-time dimensions and show that they form a discrete frame, develop a transform, similar to a windowed Fourier transform, which we call the relativistic windowed Fourier transform. We also obtain a reconstruction formula. Finally, we perform numerical computations. We evaluate the discrete frame operator numerically and present it graphically for different sections and windows. We also reconstruct some functions, compare reconstructed functions with the original ones graphically. We compare the reconstruction scheme of the relativistic windowed Fourier transform with that of the standard windowed Fourier transform.

De Sitter to Poincaré contraction and relativistic coherent states

S. Twareque Ali, Jean-Pierre Antoine, Jean‐Pierre Gazeau

We continue the analysis of relativistic phase space, identified with the quotient of the Poincare group in 1+1 dimensions by the time translation subgroup. Proceeding by contraction from the corresponding (Anti) de Sitter group SO 0 (2, 1), we obtain a realisation of the Poincare representation P(m) of mass m in a space of functions defined on phase space. The contraction singles out a privileged section in the Poincare group, with a unique left and right invariant measure. Using that section, we show that the representation P(m) is square integrable over the coset space, i.e. phase space. From this we build a new set of Poincare coherent states, and more generally weighted coherent states, which have all the usual properties, resolution of the identity, overcompleteness, reproducing kernel, orthogonality relations. Finally we derive the corresponding Wigner transform On poursuit l'analyse de l'espace de phase relativiste, identifie au quotient du groupe de Poincare en dimension 1+1 par le sous-groupe des translations temporelles. Par contraction a partir du groupe Anti-de Sitter correspondant SO 0 (2, 1), on obtient une realisation de la representation P(m) de masse m du groupe de Poincare dans un espace de fonctions definies sur l'espace de phase. La contraction selectionne une section privilegiee dans le groupe de Poincare, possedant une unique mesure invariante a la fois a gauche et a droite. Avec ce choix de section, on montre que la representation P(m) est de carre sommable sur l'espace quotient, c'est-a-dire l'espace de phase. A partir de la, on construit une nouvelle famille d'etats coherents de Poincare et, plus generalement, d'etats coherents avec poids, qui ont toutes les proprietes usuelles: resolution de l'identite, surcompletude, noyau reproduisant, relations d'orthogonalite. Enfin, on derive la transformation de Wigner correspondante

Windowed Fourier transform and general wavelet algorithms in quantum computation

Guangsheng Ma, Hongbo Li, Jiman Zhao

In this paper, we define the quantum windowed Fourier transform and study some of its properties, then we develop two useful operations called quantum convolution and `integral'. Quantum `integral' allows us to implement the integral transforms quantum-mechanically with a certain probability, including general wavelet kernel transforms. Furthermore, we propose an improved wavelet kernel transform for quantum computation.

Harmonic analysis on the Lorentz group as dynamical relativistic fourier analysis

Mavrodiev, S. Cht.

A dynamical relativistic Fourier analysis connecting both the relative momentum and the relativistic coordinate has been constructed in the framework of the theory of Galilei and Poincare group unitary representations and the concept of „geometrization“ of the relativistic two-body problem. The usual three-dimensional quantum-mechanical language of the formalism enables one to obtain easily some consequences for relativistic quantum mechanics.

Quantum Mechanics on Lie Groups: I. Noncommutative Fourier Transforms

Mathieu Beauvillain, Blagoje Oblak, Marios Petropoulos

Starting from square-integrable wave functions on a Lie group, we build an invertible Fourier transform mapping them on wave functions on the dual of the Lie algebra. This is a group-theoretic version of the map from position space to momentum space, with generally noncommuting momenta owing to the group structure. As a result, the multiplication of momentum-dependent functions involves star products, which makes the construction of noncommutative Fourier series much more involved than that of their commutative cousin. This is especially true when compact subgroups are present, in which case we carefully take into account quotients of the operator algebra, and the resulting normalization issues. We show that our formalism provides an isometry of Hilbert spaces, and use it to derive a noncommutative Poisson summation formula for any compact Lie group. This is a key preliminary for the computation of Wigner functions and path integrals for quantum systems on group manifolds.
