Contraction operator over electronic fock space. I. Symmetry properties

Published Dec 1, 1985• 6 citations
Publisher

Abstract

Abstract Permutation symmetry of the contraction operator over the electronic Fock space is studied in detail. A direct description of the preimage of arbitrary operator with respect to the contraction is given in terms of the Gel'fand‐Tzetlin operator basis set. Strong and weak forms of the generalized representability problem are briefly discussed.

Contraction operator over electronic fock space. II. Weak representability problem

A. I. Panin

Abstract Two approaches in treating the weak representability problem for density operators are studied. In the first approach this problem is reduced to the minimization of a certain distance function. The second approach is based on inductive generation of linear inequalities for diagonal elements of the second‐order density operators. Generalization of Kuhn–Yoseloff's results is also discussed.

The symmetry of reduced density matrices. I. General algebraic approach and permutational symmetry

Douglas J. Klein, Robert W. Kramling

The symmetry properties of p-particle operators derived by contraction from N-particle operators which transform on the left and right as different permutational symmetries are investigated. Theorems identifying these symmetry properties are obtained in terms of conditions for N,α,β,-derivability. The relation of the p-particle operators to reduced density matrices and the implications of the theorems as regards N-representability are discussed.

Electronic Fock space as associative superalgebra

Panin, A I

New algebraic structure on electronic Fock space is studied in detail. This structure is defined in terms of a certain multiplication of many electron wave functions and has close interrelation with coupled cluster and similar approaches. Its study clarifies and simplifies the mathematical backgrounds of CC and related approaches. And even more, it leads to many relations that would be very difficult to derive using conventional technique. Formulas for action of the creation-annihilation operators on products of state vectors are derived. Explicit expressions for action of simplest particle-conserving products of the creation-annihilation operators on powers of state vectors are given. General scheme of parametrization of representable density operators of arbitrary order is presented.

A common parametrization for finite mode Gaussian states, their symmetries, and associated contractions with some applications

Tiju Cherian John, Kalyanapuram Rangachari Parthasarathy

Let Γ(H) be the boson Fock space over a finite dimensional Hilbert space H. It is shown that every Gaussian symmetry admits a Klauder–Bargmann integral representation in terms of coherent states. Furthermore, Gaussian states, Gaussian symmetries, and second quantization contractions belong to a weakly closed self-adjoint semigroup E2(H) of bounded operators in Γ(H). This yields a common parametrization for these operators. It is shown that the new parametrization for Gaussian states is a fruitful alternative to the customary parametrization by position–momentum mean vectors and covariance matrices. This leads to a rich harvest of corollaries: (i) every Gaussian state ρ admits a factorization ρ=Z1†Z1, where Z1 is an element of E2(H) and has the form Z1=cΓ(P)exp∑r=1nλrar+∑r,s=1nαrsaras on the dense linear manifold generated by all exponential vectors, where c is a positive scalar, Γ(P) is the second quantization of a positive contractive operator P in H, ar, 1 ≤ r ≤ n, are the annihilation operators corresponding to the n different modes in Γ(H), λr∈C, and [αrs] is a symmetric matrix in Mn(C); (ii) an explicit particle basis expansion of an arbitrary mean zero pure Gaussian state vector along with a density matrix formula for a general Gaussian state in terms of its E2(H)-parameters; (iii) a class of examples of pure n-mode Gaussian states that are completely entangled; (iv) tomography of an unknown Gaussian state in Γ(Cn) by the estimation of its E2(Cn) parameters using O(n2) measurements with a finite number of outcomes.

Operator Markovian Cocycles via Associated Semigroups

J. Martin Lindsay, Stephen J. Wills

Abstract. A recent characterisation of Fock-adapted contraction operator stochastic cocycles on a Hilbert space, in terms of their associated semigroups, yields a general principle for the construction of such cocycles by approximation of their stochastic generators. This leads to new existence results for quantum stochastic differential equations. We also give necessary and sufficient conditions for a cocycle to satisfy such an equation. In this paper we study the functional equation V0 = I, Vr+t = Vrσr(Vt) for all r, t ≥ 0. for a family of contractions on h ⊗ F adapted to the Fock operator filtration. Here F is the symmetric Fock space over L 2 (R+; k), h and k are fixed but arbitrary

Product-vector basis and occupation-number basis in Fock space for bosons and fermions

Boris Leaf

A basis of products of one-particle vectors (symmetric or antisymmetric for bosons or fermions) is defined, and related to the occupation-number basis in an abstract Fock space, a generalization of the wave-mechanical configuration representation of the space of second quantization. Creation and destruction operators are simply defined in the product-vector basis and shown to have their usual properties in occupation-number representation. Algebraic properties of product vectors are developed and illustrated. The representation of operators in the product-vector basis is described, together with a brief discussion of the effects on these operators of transformations from one set of one-particle vectors to another. A simple treatment of density and reduced density operators for systems of bosons or fermions is given in the product-vector basis. The relationship between degeneracy in the Fock-space spectrum of an additive operator NA1 and degeneracy in the spectrum of one-particle operator A1 is obtained.
