An integral transform related to quantization. II. Some mathematical properties

Abstract

We study in more detail the mathematical properties of the integral transform relating the matrix elements between coherent states of a quantum operator to the corresponding classical function. Explicit families of Hilbert spaces are constructed between which the integral transform is an isomorphism.

An integral transform related to quantization

Ingrid C. Daubechies, Alex Grossmann

We study in some detail the correspondence between a function f on phase space and the matrix elements. (Qf)(a,b) of its quantized Qf between the coherent states ‖ a〉 and ‖ b〉. It is an integral transform: Qf(a,b) = ℱ{a,b ‖ v}f(v) dv, which resembles in many ways the integral transform of Bargmann. We obtain the matrix elements of Qf between harmonic oscillator states as the Fourier coefficients of f with respect to an explicit orthonormal system.

Continuity statements and counterintuitive examples in connection with Weyl quantization

Ingrid C. Daubechies

We use the properties of an integral transform relating a classical function f with the matrix elements between coherent states of its quantal counterpart Q f, to derive continuity properties of the Weyl transform from classes of distributions to classes of quadratic forms. We also give examples of pathological behavior of the Weyl transform with respect to other topologies (e.g., bounded functions leading to unbounded operators).

Covariant Integral Quantization of the Semi-Discrete SO(3)-Hypercylinder

Jean‐Pierre Gazeau, Romain Murenzi

Covariant integral quantization with rotational SO(3) symmetry is established for quantum motion on this group manifold. It can also be applied to Gabor signal analysis on this group. The corresponding phase space takes the form of a discrete-continuous hypercylinder. The central tool for implementing this procedure is the Weyl–Gabor operator, a non-unitary operator that operates on the Hilbert space of square-integrable functions on SO(3). This operator serves as the counterpart to the unitary Weyl or displacement operator used in constructing standard Schrödinger–Glauber–Sudarshan coherent states. We unveil a diverse range of properties associated with the quantizations and their corresponding semi-classical phase-space portraits, which are derived from different weight functions on the considered discrete-continuous hypercylinder. Certain classes of these weight functions lead to families of coherent states. Moreover, our approach allows us to define a Wigner distribution, satisfying the standard marginality conditions, along with its related Wigner transform.

Classical functions corresponding to given quantum operators

C. L. Mehta

The problem of obtaining the classical function which corresponds to a given quantum operator is discussed. Its application to the phase-space distribution functions and to the ordering of an operator is briefly considered.

The lie algebraic structure of the set of one-particle fermion operators

Brian Weiner

The manifold of one-particle operators has a rich group structure. It is the Lie algebra of the complex Lie group GL(2s,), (2s = dimension of one-particle spin orbital basis) realized as second-quantized operators acting in fermion fock space. This representation is reduced by the subspaces referring to N particles (N = 0, 1, 2,…). One can associate families of coherent states within each of these subspaces with real forms, Gr, of GL(2s,). These families have isotropy groups, Hr, which are associated with subgroups of these real forms (isotropy groups are the groups of transformations that leave a state invariant). The cosets GL(2s,)/Hr can be given an exponential parameterization that labels the coherent states. This label space is a complex vector space which is in correspondence with the nonlinear manifold of coherent states in the hilbert space ℋ︁N. These complex variables can be made time dependent, and by utilizing the time-dependent variation principle one can obtain a nonlinear approximation to the time-dependent Schrödinger equation which has the form of classical equations of motion in a generalized phase space 𝒫 = Grc/Hrc. This classical dynamics can be given a Hilbert space description, where the Hilbert space is a subspace of square integrable holomorphic functions f: ↦ 𝒫 → and is isomorphic with ℋ︁N. Different pairs {Gr,Hr} are associated with different families of coherent states. Some examples of these constructions are given, and the structure of the approximate time evolution is discussed and related to time-dependent approximation schemes and generalized random phase approximations (RPA).
