COORDINATE REPRESENTATION AND MOMENTUM REPRESENTATION IN QUANTUM MECHANICS WITH NEGATIVE METRIC

Uan T

Published Jan 1, 1985• 0 citations

Abstract

On the basis of our previous papers~[1,2], we discuss the representations in quantum mechanics with negative metric. With the aid of the properties of the coherent state of the abnormal boson (the boson with negative metric), in addition to the properties of the normal product, we derive the ordered product form of the metric operator, and them discuss the eigenstates of the coordinate and the momentum with the imaginary eigenvalues. With the coherent-state method we prove that these eigenstates cannot be normalized, but we can find metric-like operators which can normalize the eigenstates as the δ function. We also provide the completeness condition for these eigenstates with imaginary eigenvalues and their relation to the eigenstates with real eigenvalues, as well as the physical vacuum state's new representations.

Properties and Applications of the Intermediate Coordinate-momentum Representation

MA Mei-juan

The state |x〉λ,v was derived by using the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators(IWOP)that was the eigenstate of two rotational quadrature components λQ^+vP of light field.The basic vector |x〉λ,v becomes a new quantum mechanics representation which is between coordinate representation and momentum representation.With the help of the new representation,we obtain the normal product of the operators exp[-f(λQ +vP )2] and(λQ+vP)n.Furthermore,we construct a new quantum unitary operator which is used on vacuum state can obtain a new quantum optics squeezing state.

The Representation Theory in Quantum Mechanics with Negative Metric

Ruan Tu-Nan, Fan Hong‐Yi

In this paper the coherent state for the negative metric boson is established, which, originating from its particle number representation provides a basis for constructing its coordinate and nomentum representations in the Euclidean space. However, it is demonstrated by us that these two representations do not exist in the Minkowski space. Thus this formulation provides a physical foundation for the path integral quantization theory of the negative metric boson in the Euclidean space.

QUANTUM PHASE SPACE THEORY BASED ON INTERMEDIATE COORDINATE-MOMENTUM REPRESENTATION

Hong-Yi Fan, Qin Guo

Through the Radon transformation of the normally ordered Wigner operator we introduce two mutually conjugate intermediate coordinate-momentum representations. Based on them we construct the appropriate quantum phase space theory which includes the new Wigner operator adapting to this space. We find that the new Wigner function's marginal distribution for a state |Ψ〉 is just the quantum tomogram of the state |Ψ〉.

Application of Coordinate-Momentum Intermediate Representation in Solving Eigenstate Problem of a Coupled Oscillator System

Pang Qian-Jun

We study the eigenstate problem of a kind of coupled oscillators in the new quantum mechanical representation | q ,μ,ν⟩, which is defined as the eigenvector of the operator (μ Q + ν P ), where μ and ν are two real parameters. We also use the U operator transformation method to deal with the same problem. We obtain the normally ordered product expressions of U operator and eigenvector. It is shown that the ground state of system Hamiltonian is a squeezed state.
