Quantum Phase and Phase Difference for Fermion

Abstract

In this paper, from the index theorem, we present the Hermitian phase operator for fermion, give its eigenvalues and orthogonal, normalized and complete eigenstates. Furthermore, we also get the phase difference operator for two fermions and discuss its quantum properties.

A constructive index theorem, phase operators, and phase-difference operators

Sixia Yu, Yongde Zhang

A constructive reversed index theorem concerning the polar decomposition of an operator into a product of a unitary exponential phase operator and a Hermitian amplitude operator is investigated. Its applications to the construction of Hermitian phase operators of fermions and phase-difference operators between bosons or fermions are presented. Specifically, a Hermitian operator is constructed for the phase difference between a single-mode fermion and boson, which is justified by the fact that it is exactly the interaction part of the Hamiltonian of the Jaynes-Cummings Model. Furthermore, a Hermitian phase operator of a single-mode boson can also be defined referring to a single-mode fermion. All those quantized phases and phase-differences are found to obey a quantum addition rule instead of the ordinary commutative addition rule.

Unitary Phase Operator in Quantum Mechanics

David Thomas Pegg, Stephen Mark Barnett

The difficulties in formulating a natural and simple operator description of the phase of a quantum oscillator or single-mode electromagnetic field have been known for some time. We present a unitary phase operator whose eigenstates are well-defined phase states and whose properties coincide with those normally associated with a phase. The corresponding phase eigenvalues form only a dense subset of the real numbers. A natural extension to the definition of a time-measurement operator yields a corresponding countable infinity of eigenvalues.

The q-phase-difference operator and two-mode q-coherent states

Yaping Yang, Weiguo Feng, Xiang Xia Wu

In this paper, we introduce unitary and Hermitian phase-difference operators for the two modes of the electromagnetic field in the q-deformed case. The q-creation and annihilation operators of phase-difference quanta are given, and the algebraic properties of some operators in phase space are discussed. The phase-difference properties of two-mode q-coherent states are investigated.

Quantized Phase Difference

Sixia Yu

A quantum description for the phase difference between two harmonic oscillators is proposed. Being represented by a Hermitian operator, phase difference displays two striking quantum features. First, its eigenvalues form a new type of quantized value which is countable and dense in a $2\ensuremath{\pi}$ window. Second, because quantized phase difference cannot be defined as a difference of phases, it obeys a quantum addition rule which may not be commutative.

Phase Operators for Atomic System in Schwinger Boson Representation and their Properties

Fan Hong-Yi, Li Yong-ping

In terms of the Schwinger boson representation of angular momentum We introduce suitable phase operators which exhibit similar properties to those of the phase operators in radiation field into atomic system. With the help of them angular momentum's third component phase uncertainty relation are discussed. Also, the eigenstates of the Hermitian phase operator are derived.

Phase operator problem and an index theorem for Q-deformed oscillator

Kazuo Fujikawa

The notion of index is applied to analyze the phase operator problem associated with the photon. We clarify the absence of the hermitian phase operator on the basis of an index consideration. We point out an interesting analogy between the phase operator problem and the chiral anomaly in gauge theory, and an appearance of a new class of quantum anomaly is noted. The notion of index, which is invariant under a wide class of continuous deformation, is also shown to be useful to characterize the representations of Q-deformed oscillator algebra.
