A q-analogue of Bargmann space and its scalar product

Abstract

A q-analogue of Bargmann space is defined, using the properties of coherent states associated with a pair of q-deformed bosons. The space consists of a class of entire functions of a complex variable z, and has a reproducing kernel. On this space, the q-boson creation and annihilation operators are represented as multiplication by z and q-differentiation with respect to z, respectively. A q-integral analogue of Bargmann's scalar product is defined, involving the q-exponential as a weight function. Associated with this is a completeness relation for the q-coherent states.

A conjugate for the Bargmann representation

A D Ribeiro, F Parisio, Marcus A. M. de Aguiar

In the Bargmann representation of quantum mechanics, physical states are mapped into entire functions of a complex variable z *, whereas the creation and annihilation operators and play the role of multiplication and differentiation with respect to z *, respectively. In this paper we propose an alternative representation of quantum states, conjugate to the Bargmann representation, where the roles of and are reversed, much like the roles of the position and momentum operators in their respective representations. We derive expressions for the inner product that maintain the usual notion of distance between states in the Hilbert space. Applications to simple systems and to the calculation of semiclassical propagators are presented.

A conjugate for the Bargmann representation

A. D. Ribeiro, Fernando Parisio, Marcus A. M. de Aguiar

In the Bargmann representation of quantum mechanics, physical states are mapped into entire functions of a complex variable z∗, whereas the creation and annihilation operators â † and a ̂ play the role of multiplication and differentiation with respect to z∗, respectively. In this paper we propose an alternative representation of quantum states, conjugate to the Bargmann representation, where the roles of â † and a ̂ are reversed, much like the roles of the position and momentum operators in their respective representations. We derive expressions for the inner product that maintain the usual notion of distance between states in the Hilbert space. Applications to simple systems and to the calculation of semiclassical propagators are presented. 1.

A q-analogue of the supersymmetric oscillator and its q-supercoherent states

Gong Ren-shan

A q-analogue of the supersymmetric oscillator is constructed out of q-boson and ordinary fermion creation and annihilation operators. q-supercoherent states are explicitly obtained for the q-deformed supersymmetric oscillator. They are shown to be eigenstates of both q-boson and fermion annihilation operators and to satisfy a completeness relation. The representation of the q-deformed superalgebra in super Bargmann-Fock space is also discussed by means of the q-supercoherent states.

Coherent States

Bryan J. Dalton, John Jeffers, Stephen Mark Barnett

Abstract This chapter defines and determines the properties of the important (though non-physical) boson and fermion coherent states, which are specified in terms of c-number (bosons) or Grassmann (fermions) variables and their complex conjugates, and defined via unitary displacement operators acting on the vacuum state. Important non-orthogonality, overcompleteness and coherence properties of coherent states are obtained. Coherent states are shown to be eigenstates of mode annihilation operators, with eigenvalues given by the c-number or Grassmann variable specifying the state. Related (unnormalised) Bargmann states are defined, depending only on the variable and not its complex conjugate, and are used to obtain useful representations of physical states and canonical forms for operators in terms of Bargmann state projectors, as well as obtaining important results such as for traces of operator products in terms of phase space integrals. Mode creation operators acting on Bargmann states are shown as equivalent to differentiation.

Quantum Mechanical Version of z -Transform Related to Eigenkets of Boson Creation Operator

Fan Hong-Yi, Liang Fu, Alfred Wünsche

Using the completeness relation composed of the coherent state and of the eigenket of bosonic creation operator, we establish a one-to-one correspondence between the z -transform and the quantum-mechanical transform from the representation by number states to the representation by coherent states (Bargmann representation). In this way, the quantum-mechanical version of the various properties of z -transform are obtained and the operators for embodying these properties in the Fock space are derived, which may find applications in quantum states engineering.

Continuous-Representation Theory. V. Construction of a Class of Scalar Boson Field Continuous Representations

John R. Klauder, James McKenna

A large class of continuous representations of separable Hilbert spaces is constructed with the aid of representations of the canonical commutation relations (CCR) for a scalar boson field φ(f) and its canonical conjugate π(g). A representation of the CCR for a scalar boson field consists of two operator-valued functions V[g] and W[f], defined for all f, g in Schwartz's space 𝒮 of real test functions, where V[g] and W[f] are unitary operators defined on some separable Hilbert space ℌ, and which satisfy the commutation relations V[g]W[f] = e−i(f,g) W[f]V[g]. These unitary operators are related to the field and its momenta by V[g] = e−iπ(g), W[f] = eiφ(f). We explicitly construct a family of such representations with the help of von Neumann's theory of infinite direct products of Hilbert spaces, the pertinent parts of which are reviewed. A continuous representation ℌ of the Hilbert space ℭ is composed of a linear vector space of complex, bounded, continuous functionals defined on 𝒮 × 𝒮. These functionals are defined for all Ψ∈H by ψ(f, g)=(V[g]W[f]Φ0, Ψ). In this definition, Φ0 is a fixed unit vector in ℌ. The properties of the functions in ℭ depend on the choice of the representation of the CCR and on the choice of Φ0. When ℭ is constructed with the aid of an irreducible representation of the CCR, an inner product can be defined for all pairs of functionals in ℭ by an intuitively meaningful, rigorously defined integral in the sense of Friedrichs and Shapiro. With this inner product, ℭ is a complete Hilbert space congruent with ℌ. As in all continuous representations, a reproducing kernel exists and determines the functions in the continuous representation. One such space is closely related to a space of analytic functionals introduced by Segal and Bargmann. The representation of various operators as kernels and as functional derivatives is discussed. Finally, the construction of a vast number of unitary invariants for a representation of the CCR is used to establish the unitary inequivalence of uncountably many of the representations that we construct.
