Normally ordering the Dirac's radial momentum operator and the power of radial coordinate operators by virtue of the IWOP technique
Hong-Yi Fan, Junhua Chen
Abstract
By virtue of the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators we derive the normal ordering expansion of the Dirac's radial momentum operator. To realize this goal, we also derive some operator identities of the power of radial coordinate operators. They are useful in calculating expectation values in the coherent state.
