Abstract

By means of the coherent state representation and the IWOP technique,the density matrix of free thermal state can be written as normal product form.And then the Wigner function of free thermal state and the thermal coherent state are reproduced by using the wigner function in coherent state representation.It is found that it is easy to obtain the Wigner function of some quantum states by using the Wigner function defined in terms of the coherent state and the normal product form of operators.

Normally Ordered Form of Smoothed Wigner Operator and its Applications

Hong-Yi Fan, Guo-Liang Tong

Using the IWOP (integration within ordered product) technique, we derive a normally ordered form of the smoothed Wigner operator with which the smoothed Wigner function, that is specified only in the integral form in the literature, can be simplified. The application of the new form of the smoothed Wigner operator to the coherent state is also presented.

The Coherent-State Representation of the Wigner Distribution Function

Yutaka Kano

The relation between the Wigner cistribution function and the P-representation of the density matrix for describing a boson system is investigated. The coherent-state representation of the density matrix is introduced for a Bose particle system. Especially the P-representation of the density matrix describing an ideal boson system in thermal equilibrium is obtained. It can be seen that the distribution function of the complex eigenvalues of the destruction operator is non-negative in this particular case. The coherent-state representation of the Wigner function is then obtained. The coherent-state representation of the components in the decomposition of the Wigner function is also found. The London-Placzek formula can be derived by using one of these components.

Wigner Function of Thermo-Invariant Coherent State

Xuefen Xu, Zhu Shi-Qun

By using the thermal Winger operator of thermo-field dynamics in the coherent thermal state |ξ) representation and the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators, the Wigner function of the thermo-invariant coherent state |z,ℵ〉 is derived. The nonclassical properties of state |z,ℵ〉 is discussed based on the negativity of the Wigner function.

Some New Quantum Operator Formulas—New Applications of the Coherent State

Fan Hong‐Yi, Ruan Tu-Nan

We present a novel method for deriving some new quantum operator formulas by carrying out the integrations within a normal product symbol. The idea underlying this method is combining the properties of normal product and of coherent state together. For example, we can deduce operator ordering theorems, the Fujiwara formula, and some disentangling theorems simply and directly. By means of this method we also get the explicit operator form and coherent state form for the Wigner function with these new forms, the wigner function's eigenstate is found and its zero point value property is discussed. Furthermore some famous quantum unitary transformations and the transformed matrix element for functional obtained conveniently. integral may be also

Wigner function and density operator of the photon-subtracted squeezed thermal state

Liyun Hu, Fan Hong‐Yi

By using the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators, the normal ordered density operator of the photon-subtracted squeezed thermal state (PSSTS) is derived. Then the corresponding Wigner function is presented by using the coherent state representation of the Wigner operator. The nonclassical properties of the PSSTS are discussed based on the negativity of the Wigner function.

Using the coherent state representation of Wigner operator and the technique of integration within an ordered product (IWOP) of operators, the Wigner functions of the even and odd binomial states (EOBSs) are obtained. The physical meaning of the Wigner functions for the EOBSs is given by means of their marginal distributions. Moreover, the tomograms of the EOBSs are calculated by virtue of intermediate coordinate-momentum representation in quantum optics.
