Dirac bracket quantization and central force systems

E. Kapuścik, Charles A. Uzes

Published Dec 1, 1982• 4 citations

Abstract

The classical and quantum motions of systems restricted by Dirac second-class constraints are discussed using the Dirac bracket. The discussion is illustrated via a class of constrained central force systems.

Path Integrals, and Classical and Quantum Constraints

John R. Klauder

Systems with constraints pose problems when they are quantized. Moreover, the Dirac procedure of quantization prior to reduction is preferred. The projection operator method of quantization, which can be most conveniently described by coherent state path integrals, enables one to directly impose a regularized form of the quantum constraints. This procedure also overcomes conventional difficulties with normalization and second class constraints that invalidate conventional Dirac quantization procedures.

Hamilton-Dirac Theory of Hamilton's Equations

Robert G. Cawley

It is shown that in a very general way two distinct canonical formalisms can be used to describe a classical system. No corresponding nonuniqueness is introduced into the canonical quantization procedure if the Dirac bracket correspondence to the quantum-mechanical commutators is employed.

Deformation quantization for systems with second-class constraints in deformed fermionic phase space

Bing-Sheng Lin, Tai-Hua Heng

In order to quantize systems involving second-class constraints, one should use Dirac bracket instead of Poisson bracket. Furthermore, one can specify a star product in which the term linear in [Formula: see text] is proportional to the Dirac bracket. In this way an oscillator system in a deformed fermionic phase space is analyzed and the corresponding energy level and Wigner functions are evaluated according to scheme of deformation quantization. We also study the entanglement entropy induced by the deformation of the fermionic phase space.
