Semiclassical approach to squeezing-like transformations in quantum systems with higher symmetries

Abstract

We provide a coarse but intuitive classification of squeezing in quantum systems with SU ( n ) symmetries. This classification is based on the non-equivalent paths (classical trajectories) in the corresponding phase-space. The example of SU (3) is studied in details.

Classification of spin and multipolar squeezing

Emi Yukawa, Kae Nemoto

We investigate various types of squeezing in a collective su(2J + 1) system consisting of spin-J particles (J > 1 2). We show that squeezing in the collective su(2J + 1) system can be classified into unitary equivalence classes, each of which is characterized by a set of squeezed and anti-squeezed observables forming an su(2) subalgebra in the su(2J + 1) algebra. The dimensionality of the unitary equivalence class is found to be fundamentally related to its squeezing limit. We also demonstrate the classification of squeezing among the spin and multipolar observables in a collective su(4) system.

Classification of spin and multipolar squeezing

Abstract We investigate various types of squeezing in a collective su( 2 J + 1 ) system consisting of spin- J particles ( J > 1 / 2 ). We show that squeezing in the collective su( 2 J + 1 ) system can be classified into unitary equivalence classes, each of which is characterized by a set of squeezed and anti-squeezed observables forming an su(2) subalgebra in the su( 2 J + 1 ) algebra. The dimensionality of the unitary equivalence class is found to be fundamentally related to its squeezing limit. We also demonstrate the classification of squeezing among the spin and multipolar observables in a collective su(4) system.

Semiclassical phase-space dynamics of compound quantum systems:SU(2) covariant approach

K Tomatani, José Luis Romero, A. B. Klimov

The semiclassical evolution of the generalized SU (2) Wigner function for quantum systems with a variable number of excitations is discussed in detail. It is shown that in the framework of the Liouvillian approach quantum dynamics can be approximately described in terms of classical trajectories on an appropriate four-dimensional symplectic manifold. The analysis of this manifold allows the introduction of a phase-like observable that can be interpreted as a relative phase ‘between’ invariant subspaces.

Classification of spin-nematic squeezing in spin-1 collective atomic systems

Emi Yukawa, Masahito Ueda, Kae Nemoto

In spin-1 collective atomic systems, the spin and nematic-tensor operators constitute the su(3) Lie algebra, whose su(2) subalgebras are shown to give two distinct classes of squeezing which are unitarily equivalent to spin squeezing and spin-nematic squeezing. We explicitly construct a unitary operator that generates an arbitrary squeezed spin-nematic state from an arbitrary spin-1 condensate state. In particular, we demonstrate that squeezed spin states can be generated from a polar state and that squeezed spin-nematic states can be generated from a fully spin-polarized state.

Squeezed states in the semiclassical limit

Pavel S. Alekseev, Fedor V. Moroseev

A symplectically covariant quantum-mechanical uncertainty relation more accurate than previously known ones is derived for multidimensional systems. It is shown that the quantum-mechanical description of a linear Hamiltonian system in terms of squeezed states is completely equivalent to its description in terms of a phase-space distribution function. A new approach to the semiclassical limit is proposed, based on the use of squeezed states. By analyzing explicit formulas for squeezed states, a semiclassical asymptotic form of the solution to the Cauchy problem for a multidimensional Schrödinger equation is found in the limit of ħ → 0. The behavior of the semiclassical solution in the neighborhood of a caustic is analyzed in the one-dimensional case, and the phase shift across the caustic is determined. General properties and examples of squeezed states are discussed that point to the fundamental importance of squeezed states for developing a nonrelativistic quantum-mechanical description of a system of charged particles in an electromagnetic field in the dipole approximation.

Correspondence Rules for SU(1,1) Quasidistribution Functions and Quantum Dynamics in the Hyperbolic Phase Space

Miguel Baltazar, Ivan F. Valtierra, A. B. Klimov

We derive the explicit differential form for the action of the generators of the SU(1,1) group on the corresponding s-parametrized symbols. This allows us to obtain evolution equations for the phase-space functions on the upper sheet of the two-sheet hyperboloid and analyze their semiclassical limits. Dynamics of quantum systems with SU(1,1) symmetry governed by compact and non-compact Hamiltonians are discussed in both quantum and semiclassical regimes.
