Phase-space dynamics and Hermite polynomials of two variables and two indices

Abstract

The theory of Hermite polynomials of two variables and two indices is discussed herein. Within the context of phase-space formulation of classical and quantum mechanics, they play the same role as conventional Hermite polynomials in ordinary quantum mechanics. Finally their extension to m variables and m indices is analyzed.

Phase-space formalism: Generalized Hermite polynomials, orthogonal functions and creation–annihilation operators

G. Dattoli, A. Torre

Hermite polynomials with many variables and many indices play a crucial role within the framework of phase-space formulation of classical or quantum mechanics. A generalized operational formalism useful to handle these polynomials is discussed and also a new set of creation–annihilation operators associated to the phase-space harmonic oscillator orthogonal functions is introduced. The Fourier transform of these orthogonal functions is studied by discussing the analogies with the ordinary case. Finally, the integral representation of the generalized Hermite polynomials and a simple technique to deal with the generalized heat equation are discussed.

A Possible Generalization of the Bargmann Space

Hong-Yi Fan

By virtue of the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators we show that the ordinary Bargmann space basis function can be extended to two-variable Hermite polynomials, the latter can span a generalized Bargmann space. The corresponding two-mode Hermite polynomial states are thus introduced and their properties are investigated.

New generalized Hermite polynomials with three variables obtained via quantum optics method and their applications

An-peng Wang, Yi-xing Wang

Special polynomials (e.g. Hermite polynomials) are very important for the development of physics and mathematics. As a further extension of ordinary Hermite polynomials, we introduce new generalized Hermite polynomials with three variables and find their generating functions using the operator ordering method in quantum optics. Also, some new operator identities and integral formulas are obtained. As applications, the normalization, Wigner functions and evolutions for certain quantum states are analytically presented. These analytical results can provide conveniences for numerically studying the properties and applications of such quantum states.

Binomial theorems related to two-variable Hermite polynomials and its application in quantum optics

Fan Hong-Yi, Lou Sen‐Yue, Xiao‐Yin Pan +1 more

We propose an operator Hermite polynomial method, namely, to replace the special functions' argument by quantum mechanical operator, and in this way we have derived two binomial theorems related to two-variable Hermite polynomials. This method is concise and may be of help in deducing many operator identities, which may become a new branch in mathematical physics theory.

Study on a Phase Space Representation of Quantum Theory

Tokiniaina Ranaivoson, Raoelina Andriambololona, Hanitriarivo Rakotoson +1 more

A study on a method for the establishment of a phase space representation of quantum theory is presented. The approach utilizes the properties of Gaussian distribution, the properties of Hermite polynomials, Fourier analysis and the current formulation of quantum mechanics which is based on the use of Hilbert space and linear operators theory. Phase space representation of quantum states and wave functions in phase space are introduced using properties of a set of functions called harmonic Gaussian functions. Then, new operators called dispersion operators are defined and identified as the operators which admit as eigenstates the basis states of the phase space representation. Generalization of the approach for multidimensional cases is shown. Examples of applications are given.

On the role of Hermite-like polynomials in the Fock representations of Gaussian states

Gianfranco L. Pierobon, Gianfranco Cariolaro, G. Dattoli

The expansion of quantum states and operators in terms of Fock states plays a fundamental role in the field of continuous-variable quantum mechanics. In particular, for general single-mode Gaussian operators and Gaussian noisy states, many different approaches have been used in the evaluation of their Fock representation. In this paper, a natural approach has been applied using exclusively the operational properties of the Hermite and Hermite-like polynomials and showing their fundamental role in this field. Closed-form results in terms of polynomials, exponentials, and simple algebraic functions are the major contribution of the paper.
