Two quantum-mechanical photocount formulas

Abstract

We derive two quantum-mechanical photocount formulas when a light field's density operator rho is known; one involves rho's coherent state mean value and the other involves rho's Wigner function; when this information is known, then using these two formulas to calculate the photocount would be convenient. We employ the technique of integration within an antinormally ordered (or Weyl-ordered) product of operators in our derivation.

Quantum mechanical photoncount formula derived by entangled state representation

胡利云, 王资生, Hong-Yi Fan

By introducing the thermo entangled state representation, we derive four new photocount distribution formulas for a given light field density operator. It is shown that these new formulas, which are convenient to calculate the photocount, can be expressed as integrations over a Laguerre—Gaussian function with a characteristic function, Wigner function, Q -function and P -function, respectively.

Some New Quantum Operator Formulas—New Applications of the Coherent State

Fan Hong‐Yi, Ruan Tu-Nan

We present a novel method for deriving some new quantum operator formulas by carrying out the integrations within a normal product symbol. The idea underlying this method is combining the properties of normal product and of coherent state together. For example, we can deduce operator ordering theorems, the Fujiwara formula, and some disentangling theorems simply and directly. By means of this method we also get the explicit operator form and coherent state form for the Wigner function with these new forms, the wigner function's eigenstate is found and its zero point value property is discussed. Furthermore some famous quantum unitary transformations and the transformed matrix element for functional obtained conveniently. integral may be also
