Fourier Transform Operator between the Coordinate and Momentum Eigenstates

Zhang Bing-yun

Three non-symmetric projective operators were made by coordinate,momentum eigenstates and coherent states.By IWOP technology,three non-symmetric projective operators were the same Fourier transform operator.This operator could realize the Fourier transform between the coordinate and momentum eigenstates,and the unitary transformation between the coordinate and momentum operators.

The Fourier slice transformation of the Wigner operator and the quantum tomogram of the density operator

Wang Tong-Tong, Hong-Yi Fan

Using the Weyl quantization scheme and based on the Fourier slice transformation (FST) of the Wigner operator, we construct a new expansion formula of the density operator ρ, with the expansion coefficient being the FST of ρ's classical Weyl correspondence, and the latter the Fourier transformation of ρ's quantum tomogram. The coordinate-momentum intermediate representation is used as the Radon transformation of the Wigner operator.

Super Howe duality and rigidity of hybrid Fourier transforms

Jing-Song Huang, Yongzhi Luan, Yinuo Xue

We characterize the hybrid Fourier transform on the Schwartz--Grassmann space $\caS(\bbR^m)\otimesΛ_{2n}$ by operator intertwining relations. Using the bosonic oscillator Howe decomposition and the fermionic Lefschetz decomposition, we describe the action of the hybrid Fourier transform on both tensor factors. We show that first-order covariance with respect to coordinate multiplication and differentiation determines the transform up to a scalar. For $m,n\ge1$, we prove that covariance under all even quadratic operators, together with any one nonzero mixed quadratic operator, determines the linear span of the hybrid Fourier transform and its inverse. This rigidity result is obtained by computing the ordinary commutants of the even and full quadratic oscillator actions of $\fosp(4n|2m)$. After a degree-scaling change of normalization, we make the hybrid Fourier transform unitary with respect to the occupation number inner product, and factor it into a bosonic oscillator rotation and (up to a scalar phase) an $SU(2)$ rotation in the fermionic Lefschetz representation. For $m=1$ and $n\ge2$, we show that full even quadratic covariance together with the parity-preserving cubic relation for $qQ_f$ determines the unitary transform up to a global phase and a fermion-parity phase. Finally we calculate the unitary conjugation formulas for Hubbard--Holstein Hamiltonian for a hybrid continuous-variable and discrete-variable quantum system.
