Abstract

The q-deformed version of a two-dimensional toy interacting boson model (IBM) with the symmetry SU q (3) supset SU q (2) supset SO q (2) is constructed. Energy spectra and transition matrix elements are calculated, the latter being found to be much more sensitive to q-deformation than the former. Arguments in favour of the q-generalization of the full IBM are given.

q-breaking of dynamical symmetry in the two-dimensional SU(3) interacting boson model for the quantum group symmetry SUq(3) supset SUq(2) supset SOq(2)

R K Gupta

Quantum-deformation of the vibrational symmetry SU(3) supset SU(2) supset SO(2) of the two-dimensional SU(3) interacting boson model is studied from the point of view of the breaking of the dynamical symmetry. It is shown that, in agreement with the earlier work of Gupta et al. (1992) for the one-dimensional problem, the real and complex (more so the complex) q-deformations take this dynamical symmetry very close to the other (rotational) dynamical symmetry SU(3) supset SO(3) supset SO(2) of the two-dimensional SU(3) group. Also, the intermediate results of mixing these two symmetries are obtained, since q-deformations vary continuously. The purely imaginary q-deformation in SU q (3) supset SU q (2) supset SO q (2) restores the SU(3) symmetry for a parameter value larger than 1. Applications to real nuclei are also made.

Two models of a q-deformed hydrogen atom

Jonas Gora

Two possible methods of deformation of a hydrogen-like system in terms of the q-(deformed) boson operators are constructed. In the first case the system has SU q (2)(X)SU q (2) symmetry, while in the second S((X) 4 i=1 U q (1)) symmetry. The energy level degeneracy and splitting for both cases are explicitly calculated.

An integrable q-deformed model for bosons interacting with spin impurities

N. M. Bogoliubov, Andrei V. Rybin, JUSSI TIMONEN

A composite quantum model on a lattice which describes the system of q-bosons interacting with U q (su(2)) spin impurities is introduced and solved exactly under periodic boundary conditions. In one limit the model is shown to become a new exactly soluble quantum system on a lattice which can be interpreted as a q-deformed version of the quantum Dicke model. In the limit of infinitesimal spacing the model is further reduced to a multilevel version of the previously introduced continuum-limit Dicke model. For spin 1/2 the previous results for this particular case are confirmed.

Symmetry-Reduced Variational Quantum Simulation of the $U(5)\rightarrow SU(3)$ Quantum Phase Transition in the Interacting Boson Model

Faisal Etminan

The spherical-to-deformed quantum phase transition of the Interacting Boson Model (IBM) is investigated using the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE). The $U(5)$--$SU(3)$ transitional Hamiltonian is studied with $χ=-\sqrt{7}/2$. We develop a symmetry-preserving, minimum-qubit VQE framework for collective nuclear models, achieving a substantial reduction in qubit requirements without compromising the finite-size quantum-phase-transition physics. The transition is characterized through the normalized $d$-boson occupation and ground-state energy derivatives. Finite-size results are found to approach the analytic critical point $ξ_c=8/17\simeq0.470588$, with an independent order-parameter extrapolation yielding $ξ_\infty=0.46986(61)$. The VQE reproduces ground-state energies and structural observables to numerical precision. These results demonstrate the potential of symmetry-reduced VQE for efficient quantum simulations of collective nuclear dynamics and quantum phase transitions.

Microscopic calculation for deformed nuclei

Takaharu Otsuka

The microscopic basis of the Interacting Boson Model for deformed nuclei is discussed. The IBM Hamiltonian is constructed microscopically in the following two steps. In the first step, the collective nucleon pairs of J = 0/sup +/ (S), 2/sup +/ (D), etc. are mapped onto the corresponding bosons. Nucleon-nucleon interactions are also mapped onto boson-boson interactions. This mapping method for deformed nuclei was proposed recently, and it turned out that this method is consistent with the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov + angular momentum projection calculation. Low-lying collective states primarily consist of S and D pairs. Consequently, the corresponding boson states mainly consist of s and d bosons, while there are some admixture of g-bosons. In the second step, effects of these g-bosons are included within the s-d boson space by a unitary transformation which transforms a combination of d and g bosons into a new d-boson. By minimizing the coupling between new d and g bosons with an appropriate mixing angle, one can neglect the coupling and obtain the IBM Hamiltonian with s and d bosons. It is demonstrated that the s-d Hamiltonian thus derived indeed reproduces spectra of the original s-d-g Hamiltonian.

Microscopic Basis of the Interacting Boson Model

Takaharu Otsuka

The microscopic basis of the IBM is discussed in this paper, presenting a derivation of the IBM system from the multi-nucleon system. Although there could be different approaches to this goal as stated in the preface of this supplement, we focus on two approaches. One is the Otsuka-Arima-Iachello mapping, which works for the spherical and near-spherical nuclei. The other is a mapping for deformed nuclei. In this paper, we discuss mapping methods for deriving the Interacting Boson Model (IBM). l) We first present a mapping method for spherical and near-spherical nuclei, usually referred to as the Otsuka-Arima-Iachello (OAI) mapping. 2 ), 3 ) The OAI mapping is based on the seniority scheme as will be discussed in detail. This mapping has been developed so that realistic calculations can be carried out as presented in a subsequent paper. In this paper, the basic concepts of the mapping are discussed rather in detail. Furthermore, the proton-neutron Interacting Boson Model (IBM-2) is discussed as a natural consequence of this mapping. 2 ), 3 ) In the second half of this paper, a mapping method for strongly deformed nuclei 8 ) will be reviewed. Although this mapping is for deformed nuclei, it is somewhat related to the OAI mapping. The work on deformed nuclei is much before any sort of completion, and considerable effort should be made in the future. For this purpose, the Quantum Monte Carlo Diagonalization method proposed recently 4 )- 7 ) may be useful. When the IBM was proposed from the phenomenological viewpoint by Arima and Iachello, the microscopic picture of bosons of this model was not known as pointed out in the preface of this supplement. The microscopic theory has made a crucial contribution even to phenomenological studies by the IBM, also as mentioned in the preface. Before starting rather detailed discussions, it may be useful to overview relevant properties of the effective nucleon-nucleon interactions. The short-range nuclear force favors two nucleons lying close to each other. This means that, if the wave functions of the two neutrons have large spatial overlap, the matrix element of this interaction becomes larger. On the other hand, two identical fermions cannot occupy the same quantum state, and this is the case for two neutrons. The next optimum case for gaining energy is that the two neutrons are moving on the same orbital but in opposite directions. Because the direction is opposite, the quantum states of the two neutrons are different. In this case, the total angular momentum of the two-neutron system is zero, because the rotation is completely cancelled. In fact, the

Symmetry-Reduced Variational Quantum Simulation of the U(5)→SU(3)U(5)\rightarrow SU(3)U(5)→SU(3) Quantum Phase Transition in the Interacting Boson Model
