Abstract

Probability distributions (tomograms) associated to classical and quantum optical signals are introduced. Nonlinear evolution equations are discussed in the probability representation. For spin states, entropy and information corresponding to spin tomograms are studied.

Probability representation of quantum evolution and energy level equations for optical tomograms

Ya. A. Korennoy, Vladimir I. Man’ko

The von Neumann evolution equation for density matrix and the Moyal equation for the Wigner function are mapped onto evolution equation for optical tomogram of quantum state. The connection with known evolution equation for symplectic tomogram of the quantum state is clarified. The stationary states corresponding to quantum energy levels are associated with the probability representation of the von Neumann and Moyal equations written for the optical tomograms. Classical Liouville equation for optical tomogram is obtained. Example of parametric oscillator is considered in detail.

Quantum correlations and tomographic representation

Olga V. Man’ko, Vladimir N. Chernega

We review the probabilistic representation of quantum mechanics within which states are described by the probability distribution rather than by the wavefunction and density matrix. Uncertainty relations have been obtained in the form of integral inequalities containing measurable optical tomograms of quantum states. Formulas for the transition probabilities and purity parameter have been derived in terms of the tomographic probability distributions. Inequalities for Shannon and Rényi entropies associated with quantum tomograms have been obtained. A scheme of the star product of tomograms has been developed.

Entropy of conditional tomographic probability distributions for classical and quantum systems

Margarita A. Man’ko, Vladimir I. Man’ko

The possibility to describe hybrid systems containing classical and quantum subsystems by means of conditional tomographic probability distributions (tomograms) is discussed. Tomographic Shannon and Rényi entropies associated with the tomograms are studied, and new tomographic uncertainty relations are obtained.

Information and entropic characteristics of photon and qudit quantum states

Margarita A. Man’ko

The probability distribution determining the quantum states of photons and qudits are reviewed. Shannon, Rényi and Tsallis entropies associated with the probability distributions are discussed. Shannon information associated with quantum states in the probability representation is considered. Known inequalities for the classical joint probability distributions determining quantum states of multipartite systems are discussed in detail and the relationship to the inequalities known for quantum von Neumann entropy of the states is presented. Properties of subadditivity and strong subadditivity of the von Neumann entropy of two-partite and multipartite qudit states are considered in view of the subadditivity and strong subadditivity properties of Shannon entropies associated with classical joint probability distributions determining the multiqudit quantum states. The new entropic uncertainty relationships for optical tomograms are suggested as a test for accuracy of the homodyne reconstructing the photon state.

Linear and nonlinear optical signals in probability and phase-space representations

Margarita A. Man’ko

Review of different representations of signals including the phase-space representations and tomographic representations is presented. The signals under consideration are either linear or nonlinear ones. The linear signals satisfy linear quantumlike Schrödinger and von Neumann equations. Nonlinear signals satisfy nonlinear Schrödinger equations as well as Gross-Pitaevskii equation describing solitons in Bose-Einstein condensate. The Ville-Wigner distributions for solitons are considered in comparison with tomographic-probability densities describing solitons completely. different kinds of tomographies — symplectic tomography, optical tomography and Fresnel tomography are reviewed. New kind of map of the signals onto probability distributions of discrete photon number-like variable is discussed. Mutual relations between different transformations of signal functions are established in explicit form. Such characteristics of the signal-probability distribution as entropy is discussed.

Standard quantum mechanics featuring probabilities instead of wave functions

Vladimir I. Man’ko, Olga V. Man’ko

A new formulation of quantum mechanics (probability representation) is discussed. In this representation, a quantum state is described by a standard positive definite probability distribution (tomogram) rather than by a wave function. An unambiguous relation (analog of Radon transformation) between the density operator and a tomogram is constructed both for continuous coordinates and for spin variables. A novel feature of a state, tomographic entropy, is considered, and its connection with von Neumann entropy is discussed. A one-to-one map of quantum observables (Hermitian operators) on positive probability distributions is found.
