WAVE FUNCTIONS AND POLAEIZATION STATES OF A TWO-PHOTON SYSTEM

Abstract

All the wave function of a two-photon system with definite angular momentum and parity are found out, the polarization states of photons systematically analyzed. The imperfections in the discussions of Yang, Shirokov and Shapiro are also cleared away.

Two-photon wave mechanics

Brian J. Smith, Michael G. Raymer

The position-representation wave function for multiphoton states and its equation of motion are introduced. A major strength of the theory is that it describes the complete evolution (including polarization and entanglement) of multiphoton states propagating through inhomogeneous media. As a demonstration of the two-photon wave function's use, we show how two photons in an orbital-angular-momentum entangled state decohere upon propagation through a turbulent atmosphere.

Orthogonality of biphoton polarization states

Maria V. Chekhova, Leonid A. Krivitsky, S. P. Kulik +1 more

Orthogonality of two-photon polarization states belonging to a single frequency and spatial mode is demonstrated experimentally, in a generalization of the well-known anticorrelation ``dip'' experiment.

Hyperspherical approach to a three-boson problem in two dimensions with a magnetic field

Seth T. Rittenhouse, Andrew Wray, B. L. Johnson

We examine a system of three-bosons confined to two dimensions in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field within the framework of the adiabatic hyperspherical method. For the case of zero-range, regularized pseudopotential interactions, we find that the system is nearly separable in hyperspherical coordinates and that, away from a set of narrow avoided crossings, the full energy eigenspectrum as a function of the two-dimensional (2D) $s$-wave scattering length is well described by ignoring coupling between adiabatic hyperradial potentials. In the case of weak attractive or repulsive interactions, we find the lowest three-body energy states exhibit even-odd parity oscillations as a function of total internal 2D angular momentum and that for weak repulsive interactions, the universal lowest energy interacting state has an internal angular momentum of $M=3$. With the inclusion of repulsive higher angular momentum we surmise that the origin of a set of ``magic number'' states (states with anomalously low energy) might emerge as the result of a combination of even-odd parity oscillations and the pattern of degeneracy in the noninteracting lowest Landau level states.

ENTANGLED STATE REPRESENTATIONS FOR DESCRIBING 2-DIMENSIONAL ELECTRON SYSTEM IN UNIFORM MAGNETIC FIELD

Hong-Yi Fan

We review how to rely on the quantum entanglement idea of Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen and the developed Dirac's symbolic method to set up two kinds of entangled state representations for describing the motion and states of an electron in uniform magnetic field. The entangled states can be employed for conveniently expressing Landau wave function and Laughlin wave function with a fresh look. We analyze the entanglement involved in electron's coordinates (or momenta) eigenstates, and in the angular momentum-orbit radius entangled state. Various applications of these two representations, such as in developing angular momentum theory, squeezing mechanism, Wigner function and tomography theory for this system are presented. Thus the present review systematically summarizes a distinct approach for tackling this physical system.

Double-wave Description of Photons

HUANG XIANG-YOU

When photons are described by double-wave theory, they become quantum particles with localization. Both the wave-particle duality and the circular polarization-linear polarization duality are represented in the theory.

Wave Mechanics

P. J. E. Peebles

This chapter develops the wave mechanics formalism. The emphasis here is on symmetries and conservation laws: parity, linear and angular momentum, and the electromagnetic interaction. The only specific physical application is the completion of the study of an isolated hydrogen atom, with some discussion of the motion of a particle in a magnetic field. The chapter also outlines the general assumptions of quantum wave mechanics, which may be summarized as follows: the state of a physical system is represented by a wave function and each measurable attribute of the system is represented by a linear self-adjoint operator in the space of functions. To apply these general assumptions to a given physical system, one must give a specific prescription for the observables and their algebra, and one must adopt a definite form for the Hamiltonians as a function of the observables.

For the case of zero-range, regularized pseudopotential interactions, we find that the system is nearly separable in hyperspherical coordinates and that, away from a set of narrow avoided crossings, the full energy eigenspectrum as a function of the two-dimensional (2D) sss-wave scattering length is well described by ignoring coupling between adiabatic hyperradial potentials. In the case of weak attractive or repulsive interactions, we find the lowest three-body energy states exhibit even-odd parity oscillations as a function of total internal 2D angular momentum and that for weak repulsive interactions, the universal lowest energy interacting state has an internal angular momentum of M=3M=3M=3. With the inclusion of repulsive higher angular momentum we surmise that the origin of a set of ``magic number'' states (states with anomalously low energy) might emerge as the result of a combination of even-odd parity oscillations and the pattern of degeneracy in the noninteracting lowest Landau level states.
