General Formalism for Mapping of Two-Mode Classical Canonical Transformations to Quantum Unitary operators

Hong-Yi Fan

Published Apr 1, 1992• 5 citations

Abstract

Two types of canonical transformations in two-mode classical phase space are mapped into the quantum mechanical Hilbert space to produce some new normally ordered unitary operators. These operators are evaluated in the coordinate (momentum) representations using the "integration within ordered product" technique, and the mapping is manifestly apparent in the derivation. New generalized coherent states are constructed in terms of these operators, and the uncertainty relations for these states are analysed.

Mapping of classical canonical transformations to quantum unitary operators

Fan Hong‐Yi, Jack Vanderlinde

Classical linear transformations in coordinate-momentum phase space are mapped to unitary quantum-mechanical operators in Hilbert space to produce a generalization of squeeze operators. The classical to quantum transition is manifestly apparent in the derivation. The unitary operators are evaluated in the coherent-state representation using the ``integration within ordered products'' technique in the one- and two-mode cases. Application of these operators results in a new generalization of coherent states.

Symplectic transformations in then-mode coherent-state representation using integration within an ordered product of operators

Fan Hong‐Yi, Xu Zhihua

We derive unitary-operator images corresponding to classical phase-space symplectic transformations in the n-mode canonical coherent-state representation. The evaluation can be greatly facilitated by the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators, showing clearly the connection between symplectic transformations and the corresponding normally ordered unitary operators. Applications of these operators results in the construction of generalized coherent states.

Quantum-Mechanical Unitary Operators Gained via Integrations over a Type of Ket-Bra Operators

Fan Hong-Yi

Applying the technique of integration within ordered product (IWOP) to a type of ket-bra operators which are in integral form in coordinate representation, we derive unitary normally ordered quantum-mechanical images of real symmetric transformations in classical coordinate space, which provide us with a convenient approach to constructing the corresponding coherent states. Some examples showing the physical applications of this kind of unitary images are presented.

Simple construction of the unitary operator to transform from individual particles to Jacobi coordinates

Fan Hong‐Yi, Jack Vanderlinde

The unitary operator for transforming individual particles' coordinates to Jacobi coordinates is constructed in terms of a simple mapping of the classical transformation to quantum Hilbert space in Dirac's coordinate representation. The corresponding normally ordered form of the unitary operator is easily obtained by integration within ordered products.

Mapping of a classical transformation in Grassmann number space to a Fermi unitary operator

Fan Hong‐Yi

The formalism of mapping a classical canonical transformation to quantum unitary operators for a boson system is generalized to fermion systems. In terms of the ``integration within an ordered product'' technique for fermion systems, the transition of a classical transformation in Grassmann number space to a quantum image is manifestly evaluated in the fermion coherent-state representation. The normally ordered unitary operators that generate the Bogolyubov-Valatin transformation and the SU(2) rotation are derived in this way.

Quantum Optical Version of Classical Optical Transformations and Beyond

Hong-Yi Fan, Liyun Hu

By the newly developed technique of integration within an ordered product (IWOP) of operators, we explore quantum optical version of classical optical transformations such as optical Fresnel transform, Hankel transform, fractional Fourier transform, Wigner transform, wavelet transform and Fresnel-Hadmard combinatorial transform etc. In this way one may gain benefit for developing classical optics theory from the research in quantum optics, or vice-versa. We can not only find some new quantum mechanical unitary operators which correspond to the known optical transformations, deriving a new theorem for calculating quantum tomogram of density operators, but also can reveal some new classical optical transformations. We derive GFO's normal product form and its canonical coherent state representation and find that GFO is the loyal representation of symplectic group multiplication rule. We show that GFT is just the transformation matrix element of GFO in the coordinate representation such that two successive GFTs is still a GFT. The ABCD rule of the Gaussian beam propagation is directly demonstrated in the context of quantum optics. Especially, the introduction of quantum mechanical entangled state representations opens up a new area to finding new classical optical transformations. The complex wavelet transform and the condition of mother wavelet are studied in the context of quantum optics too. Throughout our discussions, the coherent state, the entangled state representation of the two-mode squeezing operators and the IWOP technique are fully used. All these confirms Dirac's assertion: " ... for a quantum dynamic system that has a classical analogue, unitary transformation in the quantum theory is the analogue of contact transformation in the classical theory".
