Classical functions corresponding to given quantum operators

C. L. Mehta

Published May 1, 1968• 14 citations
Publisher

Abstract

The problem of obtaining the classical function which corresponds to a given quantum operator is discussed. Its application to the phase-space distribution functions and to the ordering of an operator is briefly considered.

Phase space functions and correspondence rules

Michael Springborg

It is shown that positive quantum joint distributions in phase space lead to quantum mechanical operators depending on the state to be considered. It is also shown that a simple requirement of canonical invariance leads to the Weyl correspondence rule as the only allowed one.

Quantum Dynamics in Phase Space

G. S. Agarwal, E. Wolf

After a brief summary of recently derived general results relating to the mapping of functions of noncommuting operators on functions of $c$ numbers, equations are given which describe the time evolution of the $c$-number equivalents (phase-space representations) of the density operator and of a Heisenberg operator. The evaluation of time-ordered functions of operators by $c$-number techniques is also briefly discussed.

General approach to \mathfrak {SU}(n) quasi-distribution functions

A. B. Klimov, Hubert de Guise

We propose an operational form for the kernel of a mapping between an operator acting in a Hilbert space of a quantum system with an symmetry group and its symbol in the corresponding classical phase space. For symmetric irreps of , this mapping is bijective. We briefly discuss complications that will occur in the general case.

Phase-space distributions and the classical component of quantum observables

Alfredo Luis

We analyze the relation between the classical part of quantum observables and the distributions representing quantum states and observables on the classical phase space. We determine in which conditions such a relation can be established, and the proper phase-space distribution required for this purpose.

General approach to SU(n) quasi-distribution functions

A. B. Klimov, Hubert de Guise

We propose an operational form for the kernel of a mapping between an operator acting in a Hilbert space of a quantum system with SU(n) symmetry group and its symbol in the corresponding classical phase space. For symmetric irreps of SU(n), this mapping is bijective. We briefly discuss complications that will occur in the general case.

After a brief summary of recently derived general results relating to the mapping of functions of noncommuting operators on functions of ccc numbers, equations are given which describe the time evolution of the ccc-number equivalents (phase-space representations) of the density operator and of a Heisenberg operator. The evaluation of time-ordered functions of operators by ccc-number techniques is also briefly discussed.
