Diffuse tomography modulo Grassmann and Laplace

Sarah Patch

Published Jul 1, 1996• 4 citations
Publisher

Abstract

Complicated and unphysical families of modified transition probabilities for the 4×4 diffuse tomographic problem are presented. Grassmann–Plücker identities and Laplace expansions of determinants are used to simplify the initial transition probabilities. Besides restoring self-consistency to the system, enforcing range conditions eliminates one-half of the parameters.

Many-Body Perturbation Theory

William Tobocman

The usual perturbation treatment of the many-body problem is modified by eliminating the two-body interaction and introducing in its place a $t$ matrix. The Watson, Brueckner, and Bethe (W.B.B.) treatment of the many-body problem is shown to be a special case of the modified perturbation treatment. The modified perturbation treatment involves no assumption except that of supposing the convergence of the perturbation expansion. Thus to each order in the expansion the results must be meaningful and no unphysical "unlinked cluster" terms can appear. Within the framework of the modified perturbation treatment it is easy to interpret the concepts of the Pauli principle for intermediate states and the self-consistent choice of the comparison potential which play such an important role in the W.B.B. treatment. This work is similar to that of J. Goldstone in that we relate the W.B.B. treatment to a perturbation treatment of the many-body problem. We differ from Goldstone in that we use the usual time-independent perturbation theory instead of the time-dependent one. The time-independent approach permits a direct comparison with the W.B.B. treatment and facilitates discussion of the Pauli principle for intermediate states and of the self-consistent potential.

Quantum tomography and Schwinger’s picture of quantum mechanics*

Florio M. Ciaglia, Fabio Di Cosmo, Alberto Ibort +1 more

Abstract In this paper the problem of tomographic reconstruction of states is investigated within the so-called Schwinger’s picture of quantum mechanics in which a groupoid is associated with every quantum system. The attention is focussed on spin tomography: in this context the groupoid of interest is the groupoid of pairs over a finite set. In a nutshell, this groupoid is made up of transitions between all possible pairs of outcomes belonging to a finite set. In addition, these transitions possess a partial composition rule, generalizing the notion of groups. The main goal of the paper consists in providing a reconstruction formula for states on the groupoid-algebra associated with the observables of the system. Using the group of bisections of this groupoid, which are special subsets in one-to-one correspondence with the outcomes, a frame is defined and it is used to prove the validity of the tomographic reconstruction. The special case of the set of outcomes being the set of integers modulo n, with n odd prime, is considered in detail. In this case the subgroup of discrete affine linear transformations, whose graphs are linear subspaces of the groupoid, provides a quorum in close analogy with the continuous case.

Study of critical properties of the Potts model by the modified variational cumulant expansion method

Nail G. Fazleev, Hao Che, John L. Fry +1 more

The modified variational cumulant expansion (VCE) method valid for the whole temperature range and for arbitrary fields is developed to study the critical properties of the general q-state Potts model used to stimulate various magnetic systems. The series expansion is generated directly in terms of the Potts Hamiltonian. The free energy and the internal energy are calculated up to the third-order cumulant terms for the d-dimensional hypercubic q-state Potts model. The expression for the critical temperature Tc is derived in a closed form which allows to determine Tc up to arbitrary order cumulant terms. The modified VCE method eliminates the unphysical first-order phase transition at the mean-field critical point in the internal energy of the Potts model which plagues the conventional VCE method.
