Uncertainty relations and quadratic forms

Abstract

The authors show that sesquilinear form methods can be used to extend the usual uncertainty relation for symmetric operators to a larger and more natural domain of states.

Time-energy and time-entropy uncertainty relations in dissipative quantum dynamics

Gian Paolo Beretta

We derive exact relations and general inequalities that extend the usual time-energy uncertainty relations from the domain of unitary Hamiltonian dynamics to that of dissipative dynamics as described by a broad class of linear and nonlinear evolution equations for the density operator. For non-dissipative dynamics, by using the Schroedinger inequality instead of the Heisenberg-Robertson inequality, we obtain a general exact time-energy uncertainty relation which is sharper than the usual Mandelstam-Tamm-Messiah relation $τ_FΔ_H\ge \hbar/2$. For simultaneous unitary/dissipative dynamics, the usual time-energy uncertainty relation is replaced by a less restrictive relation that depends on the characteristic time of dissipation, $τ$, and the uncertainty associated with the generalized nonequilibrium Massieu-function operator which defines the structure of the dissipative part of the assumed class of evolution equations. Within the steepest-entropy-ascent dissipative quantum dynamics of an isolated system introduced earlier by this author, we obtain the interesting time-energy and time-entropy uncertainty relation $(2τ_FΔ_H/ \hbar)^2+ (τ_FΔ_S/k_Bτ)^2 \ge 1$. We illustrate this result and various other inequalities by means of numerical simulations.

Supersymmetric quantum mechanics defined as sesquilinear forms

Harald Grosse, L. Pittner

A formulation of supersymmetric quantum mechanics in terms of sesquilinear forms is presented. Otherwise occurring rather complicated domain questions are solved in a simple and natural way. The authors formulate the axioms and describe a number of models. Supersymmetry transformations are implemented as superunitary transformations in a space defined over a Grassmann algebra, generalised Bogoliubov transformations acting in that space are also formulated.

AND THE GENERALIZED UNCERTAINTY RELATIONS

Ken K uriyama

Sesquilinear forms induced by a positive linear form on a * -algebra are introduced. Some relations among them are investigated and then the inequality related to the uncertainty principle is shown in general situation. As a by-product, GNS construction theorem by the right regular representation is constructed by the * -antihomomorphism.

We derive exact relations and general inequalities that extend the usual time-energy uncertainty relations from the domain of unitary Hamiltonian dynamics to that of dissipative dynamics as described by a broad class of linear and nonlinear evolution equations for the density operator. For non-dissipative dynamics, by using the Schroedinger inequality instead of the Heisenberg-Robertson inequality, we obtain a general exact time-energy uncertainty relation which is sharper than the usual Mandelstam-Tamm-Messiah relation τFΔH≥ℏ/2τ_FΔ_H\ge \hbar/2τF​ΔH​≥ℏ/2. For simultaneous unitary/dissipative dynamics, the usual time-energy uncertainty relation is replaced by a less restrictive relation that depends on the characteristic time of dissipation, τττ, and the uncertainty associated with the generalized nonequilibrium Massieu-function operator which defines the structure of the dissipative part of the assumed class of evolution equations. Within the steepest-entropy-ascent dissipative quantum dynamics of an isolated system introduced earlier by this author, we obtain the interesting time-energy and time-entropy uncertainty relation (2τFΔH/ℏ)2+(τFΔS/kBτ)2≥1(2τ_FΔ_H/ \hbar)^2+ (τ_FΔ_S/k_Bτ)^2 \ge 1(2τF​ΔH​/ℏ)2+(τF​ΔS​/kB​τ)2≥1. We illustrate this result and various other inequalities by means of numerical simulations.
