A deformation of quantum mechanics

You‐Quan Li, Zheng-Mao Sheng

Published Dec 21, 1992• 22 citations
Publisher

Abstract

On a one-dimensional lattice without uniform interval, the Hermitian conjugation of a q-differential operator is discussed. Then a deformation of quantum mechanics in one dimension is presented. As an application, the harmonic oscillator is discussed. The energy spectrum and the eigenfunctions are shown to depend on an arbitrary deformation function. The deformed coherent states are also discussed. It is found that the completeness relation of coherent states holds for the case of q-coherent states, i.e. the deformation of the Heisenberg-Weyl algebra is a q-analogue Hopf algebra.

A ( p,q )-Deformation of Quantum Mechanics

Gong Ren-shan

On a one-dimensional lattice with a geometric sequence spacing, the Hermitian conjugation of a (p,q)-derivative operator is discussed by means of (p,q)-integration. Then a (p,q)-deformation of both the Heisenberg algebra for the canonical coordinates and the Heisenberg–Weyl algebra for the harmonic oscillator is presented. It is shown that although in the algebraic aspect the (p,q)-deformation discussed here is identical with q-deformation given by Truong, the (p,q)-deformed Schrodinger picture is in fact different from the q-deformed one.

q-Deformed quantum mechanics related to the Tamm-Dancoff oscillator algebra and some physical applications

Won Sang Chung, Abdullah Algin

Abstract In this paper, we consider a system of the q-deformed bosonic Tamm-Dancoff oscillators, whose spectrum has some exponential cutoff factors at high energies. We first investigate the q-calculus in the Tamm-Dancoff (TD) boson algebra, and within this framework, the q-derivative, q-integral and q-exponential function are introduced. Using these properties, we construct a new formalism for the q-deformed quantum mechanics, which accordingly involve the q-adjoint operator and the q-Hermitian operator properties. We then derive the q-deformed Heisenberg relation, and develop the q-Hermitian momentum operator. The q-deformed Schrödinger equation is introduced, and as applications, we study the momentum eigenfunction and one-dimensional box problem. Another application of the TD type deformation onto lattice oscillations is also discussed through a model of the q-deformed Debye solid. Finally, other potential applications of the TD-oscillators gas model are concisely pointed out.

Some aspects of a weak Weyl–Heisenberg algebra deformation

Noureddine Boucerredj, N. Mebarki, Achour Benslama

In the weak deformation (WD) approximation of the Weyl–Heisenberg algebra, the corresponding generalized coherent states and displacement operator are constructed. It is shown that those states, and contrary to the non-deformed Weyl-Heisenberg algebra, are not eigenstates of the annihilation operator. Moreover, and as an alternative to the Chaïchian et al. Q-deformed path integral approach (where Q is the deformation parameter), using the Bargmann Fock representation, we propose in the WD approximation, a general simple formalism. As an application, we calculate the propagator and the wave function of the harmonic oscillator.PACS Nos.: 03.65.Fd, 31.15.Kb

New Deformation of quantum oscillator algebra: Representation and some application

Sama Arjika, Dine Ousmane Samary, Ezinvi Baloïtcha +1 more

This work addresses the study of the oscillator algebra, defined by four parameters $p$, $q$, $α$, and $ν$. The time-independent Schrödinger equation for the induced deformed harmonic oscillator is solved; explicit analytic expressions of the energy spectrum are given. Deformed states are built and discussed with respect to the criteria of coherent state construction. Various commutators involving annihilation and creation operators and their combinatorics are computed and analyzed. Finally, the correlation functions of matrix elements of main normal and antinormal forms, pertinent for quantum optics analysis, are computed.

Quantum and classical mechanics of q-deformed systems

Sergei V. Shabanov

Quantum and classical mechanics of a system of q-deformed bosonic oscillators are considered. The q-deformed Heisenberg-Weyl algebra of creation and destruction operators is realized by differential operators in a space of functions of real commutative variables. The corresponding Hilbert space is constructed. In this approach, the deformation parameter turns out to be a function of the Planck constant, an oscillator frequency and a parameter with dimension of length. The Hamiltonian path integral is derived and its semiclassical approximation is investigated to obtain the corresponding q-deformed classical theory. The phase space spanned by the usual commutative coordinates is shown to be a cylinder in classical theory. The dimensional parameter introduced determines its radius. It is argued that the q-deformation can be associated with a special non-canonical transformation. The principle of least action for the classical q-deformed system is formulated. A representation of U q (m) in a space of functions on a phase space spanned by commutative coordinates is constructed.
