Calculating Density Operator from Diagonal Coherent State Representation

Abstract

By means of combining the coherent's properties with the normal product's properties we put forward to a formulation for obtaining density operators from Glauber-Suaaishan “P representation” and other non-diagonal representations directly in quantum optics.

Diagonal Representation of Density Matrix Using q-Coherent States

R. Parthasarathy, R. Sridhar

A q-analogue of the diagonal representation of the density matrix is derived using q-boson coherent states. The q-generalization of the self-reproducing property of ρ(z ,z ) and a self consistent self-reproducing kernel K(z ,z ) are obtained. Some applications to non-linear issues in optics are indicated

Geometric Phase using Diagonal Coherent State Representation

Prosenjit Maity, Sobhan Kumar Sounda

Glauber-Sudarshan diagonal coherent state P-representation has been used to determine geometric phase for non-classical states of light. For a given density operator $\hat{ρ_1}$ of two mode optical beam, we evolve it in complex projective ray space $(\cal R)$ to $\hat{ρ_2}$ and to $\hat{ρ_3}$ by changing its state of polarisation using unitary operator $\mathrm{\hat{U}_p}(θ)$. The diagonal coherent state basis has been utilized to represent the density operators instead of fock state basis as in the fock state basis the state vector in present work evolve under unitary operator produe infinitely numerous terms which make the density operators very messy to handle. This cumbersome situation can be easily avoided by using the approach proposed above. The trace of the product of $\hat{ρ_1}$, $\hat{ρ_2}$ and $\hat{ρ_3}$ is taken to get three vertex Bargmann invariant. Argument of this gives the geometric phase which is represented in terms of phase space variables containing a notion of symplectic area.

Density operator formulation for magnetic systems: Physical and mathematical aspects

Isiaka Aremua, Mahouton Norbert Hounkonnou, Ezinvi Baloïtcha

In this work, the density operator diagonal representation in the coherent states basis, known as the Glauber–Sudarshan-P representation, is used to study harmonic oscillator quantum systems and models of spinless electrons moving in a two-dimensional noncommutative space, subject to a magnetic field background coupled with a harmonic oscillator. Relevant statistical properties such as the Q-Husimi distribution and the Wehrl entropy are investigated.

Degree of Higher-Order Optical Coherence

C. L. Mehta

In this paper we define the normalized coherence function of arbitrary order (m, n), in a manner which seems to be a natural generalization of that defined for the second-order coherence function. Both classical and quantized optical fields are considered and the results are compared. It is shown that for classical fields and also for quantized optical fields having nonnegative definite diagonal coherent state representations of the density operator, the modulus of these normalized coherence functions is bounded by the values 0 and 1. This definition differs from the one recently given by Glauber for quantized optical fields, where the normalized coherence functions may take arbitrarily large values even for fields having nonnegative definite diagonal representations of the density operator. Conditions for ``complete coherence,'' i.e., those under which the modulus of the normalized coherence function attains the limiting value 1, are discussed. Some consequences of stationarity and quasi-monochromaticity are also discussed.
