Convolution Theorem of Fractional Fourier Transformation Derived by Representation Transformation in Quantum Mechancis

Abstract

Based on our previous paper (Commun. Theor. Phys. 39 (2003) 417) we derive the convolution theorem of fractional Fourier transformation in the context of quantum mechanics, which seems a convenient and neat way. Generalization of this method to the complex fractional Fourier transformation case is also possible.

CONVOLUTION THEOREM OF THE COMPLEX FRACTIONAL FOURIER TRANSFORMATION DERIVED BY TRANSFORMATION OF ENTANGLED STATES

Hong-Yi Fan, Lu Hai-Liang, Hao Ren

Based on our previous paper [H.-Y. Fan and H.-L. Lu, Int. J. Mod. Phys.19, 799 (2005)] and the two mutually-conjugate entangled state representations, we derive the convolution theorem of complex fractional Fourier transformation in the context of quantum mechanics. This approach seems convenient and neat.

Quantum mechanical perspectives and generalization of the fractional Fourier Transformation

Junhua Chen, Hong-Yi Fan

Fourier and fractional-Fourier transformations are widely used in theoretical physics. In this paper we make quantum perspectives and generalization for the fractional Fourier transformation (FrFT). By virtue of quantum mechanical representation transformation and the method of integration within normal ordered product (IWOP) of operators, we find the key point for composing FrFT, and reveal the structure of FrFT. Following this procedure, a full family of generalized fractional transformations are discovered with the usual FrFT as one special case. The eigen-functions of arbitrary GFrT are derived explicitly.

Implementation of quantum and classical discrete fractional Fourier transforms

Steffen Weimann, Armando Pérez-Leija, Maxime Lebugle +9 more

Fourier transforms, integer and fractional, are ubiquitous mathematical tools in basic and applied science. Certainly, since the ordinary Fourier transform is merely a particular case of a continuous set of fractional Fourier domains, every property and application of the ordinary Fourier transform becomes a special case of the fractional Fourier transform. Despite the great practical importance of the discrete Fourier transform, implementation of fractional orders of the corresponding discrete operation has been elusive. Here we report classical and quantum optical realizations of the discrete fractional Fourier transform. In the context of classical optics, we implement discrete fractional Fourier transforms of exemplary wave functions and experimentally demonstrate the shift theorem. Moreover, we apply this approach in the quantum realm to Fourier transform separable and path-entangled biphoton wave functions. The proposed approach is versatile and could find applications in various fields where Fourier transforms are essential tools.

Joint Wavelet—Fractional Fourier Transform

Jun Song, Rui He, Hao Yuan +2 more

Based on Dirac's representation theory and the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators, we put forward the joint wavelet—fractional Fourier transform in the context of quantum mechanics. Its corresponding transformation operator is found and the normally ordered form is deduced. This kind of transformation may be applied to analyzing and identifying quantum states.
