In this paper, we introduce the q-deformed and quon algebras formalism. Some applications of these algebraic structures are considered. A possible connection of the quon algebra with composite particle systems is discussed and perspectives on using such mathematical objects in the Bose-Einstein condensation is presented.
This paper deals with quon algebras or deformed oscillator algebras, for which the deformation parameter is a root of unity.We motivate why such algebras are interesting for fractional supersymmetric quantum mechanics, angular momentum theory and quantum information.More precisely, quon algebras are used for (i) a realization of a generalized Weyl-Heisenberg algebra from which it is possible to associate a fractional supersymmetric dynamical system, (ii) a polar decomposition of SU 2 and (iii) a construction of mutually unbiased bases in Hilbert spaces of prime dimension.We also briefly discuss (symmetric informationally complete) positive operator valued measures in the spirit of (iii).
Abstract In recent decades, there have been increasing interests in quantum statistics beyond the standard Fermi–Dirac and Bose–Einstein statistics, such as the fractional statistics, quon statistics, anyon statistics and quantum groups, since they can provide new insights into the cosmology, nuclear physics and condensed matter. In this paper, we study the many-particle system formed by the q -deformed fermions ( q -fermion), which is realized by deforming the quantum algebra of the anticommutation relations. From the standard perspective of the finite temperature field theory, we first construct the finite temperature Green’s function formalism for the free many- q -fermion system, then generalize it to the well known interacting fermionic system, the superconductor, and finally obtain a consistent q -deformed BCS ( q BCS) theory. Interesting features can be implied from this model. For example, it predicts a Sarma-like ordered phase, which we call the q -deformed Sarma phase, at low temperature. It also presents a symmetric phase diagram in the parameter space and modified thermodynamic relations.
Operators, refered to as k-fermion operators, that interpolate between boson and fermion operators are introduced through the consideration of two noncommuting quon algebras. The deformation parameters for these quon algebras are roots of unity connected to an integer k. The case k=2 corresponds to fermions and the limiting case k going to infinity to bosons. Generalized coherent states and supercoherent states are investigated. The Dirac quantum phase operator and the Fairlie-Fletcher-Zachos algebra are also considered.
I discuss the statistics of "quons" (pronounced to rhyme with muons), particles whose annihilation and creation operators obey the q-deformed commutation relation (the quon algebra or q-mutator) which interpolates between fermions and bosons. Topics discussed include representations of the quon algebra, proof of the TCP theorem and clustering, violation of the usual locality properties, and experimental constraints on violations of the Pauli exclusion principle (i.e., Fermi statistics) and of Bose statistics.
A formalism for treating the many-body problem of composite particles is presented for the case of composite particles consisting of two fermions. Commutation relations for composite-particle operators are derived, as well as a sum rule satisfied by the composite-particle Green's function. In an approximation that shuts off the interactions between composite particles in a consistent manner, the dynamical equation for the one-composite-particle Green's function is solved and the distribution function for the composite particles obtained. Possible applications to real systems are discussed.
