Abstract

Symplectic unitary representations for the Galilei group are studied. The formalism is based on the noncommutative structure of the star-product, and using group theory approach as a guide, a consistent physical theory in phase space is constructed. The state of a quantum mechanics system is described by a quasi-probability amplitude that is in association with the Wigner function. As a result, the Schrödinger and Pauli–Schrödinger equations are derived in phase space. As an application, the Landau problem in phase space is studied. This shows how this method of quantum mechanics in phase space is to be brought to the realm of spatial noncommutative theories.

Analytical Solution for the Gross-Pitaevskii Equation in Phase Space and Wigner Function

A. X. Martins, R. A. S. Paiva, G. X. A. Petronilo +4 more

In this work, we study symplectic unitary representations for the Galilei group. As a consequence a nonlinear Schrödinger equation is derived in phase space. The formalism is based on the noncommutative structure of the star product, and using the group theory approach as a guide a physically consistent theory is constructed in phase space. The state is described by a quasi-probability amplitude that is in association with the Wigner function. With these results, we solve the Gross-Pitaevskii equation in phase space and obtained the Wigner function for the system considered.

The Landau problem and nonclassicality

G. X. A. Petronilo, S. C. Ulhoa, K. V. S. Araújo +3 more

Exploring the concept of the extended Galilei group [Formula: see text]. Representations for field theories in a symplectic manifold have been derived in association with the method of the Wigner function. The representation is written in the light-cone of a de Sitter space–time in five dimensions. A Hilbert space is constructed, endowed with a symplectic structure, which is used as a representation space for the Lie algebra of [Formula: see text]. This representation gives rise to the spin-0 Schrödinger (Klein–Gordon-like) equation for the wave functions in phase space, such that the dependent variables have the content of position and linear momentum. This is a particular example of a conformal theory, such that the wave functions are associated with the Wigner function through the Moyal product. We construct the Pauli–Schrödinger (Dirac-like) equation in phase space in its explicitly covariant form. In addition, we analyze the gauge symmetry for spin-1/2 particles in phase space and show how implement the minimal coupling in this case. We applied to the problem of an electron in an external field, and we recovered the nonrelativistic Landau levels. Finally, we study the parameter of negativity associated with the nonclassicality of the system.

On the Symplectic Dirac Equation

R. G. G. Amorim, S. C. Ulhoa, Edilberto Oliveira Silva

"Symplectic unitary representations for the Poincar ́ e group are studied. The formalism is based on the noncommutative structure of the star–product, and using group theory approach as a guide, a consistent physical theory in phase space is constructed. The state of a quan- tum mechanics system is described by a quasi-probability amplitude that is in association with the Wigner function. In this context, we derive the Klein–Gordon and Dirac equations. As an application, we study the Dirac equation with electromagnetic interaction in phase space."

Quantum Physics in Phase Space: an Analysis of Simple Pendulum

In this work we present a brief review about quantum mechanics in phase space. The approach discussed is based in the notion of symplectic structure and star-operators. In this sense, unitary representations for the Galilei group are construct, and the Schrodinger equation in phase space is derived. The connection between phase space amplitudes and Wigner function is presented. As a new result we solved the Schrodinger equation in phase space for simple pendulum.

Symplectic Field Theory of the Galilean Covariant Scalar and Spinor Representations

G. X. A. Petronilo, S. C. Ulhoa, A. E. Santana

We explore the concept of the extended Galilei group, a representation for the symplectic quantum mechanics in the manifold G, written in the light-cone of a five-dimensional de Sitter space-time in the phase space. The Hilbert space is constructed endowed with a symplectic structure. We study the unitary operators describing rotations and translations, whose generators satisfy the Lie algebra of G. This representation gives rise to the Schr¨odinger (Klein–Gordon-like) equation for the wave function in the phase space such that the dependent variables have the position and linear momentum contents. The wave functions are associated to the Wigner function through the Moyal product such that the wave functions represent a quasiamplitude of probability. We construct the Pauli–Schr¨odinger (Dirac-like) equation in the phase space in its explicitly covariant form. Finally, we show the equivalence between the five-dimensional formalism of the phase space with the usual formalism, proposing a solution that recovers the non-covariant form of the Pauli–Schr¨odinger equation in the phase space.
