Abstract

An alternative approach to the quantum pentahedron is proposed and a representation on the phase–space is introduced. Some special cases are given explicitly and discussed.

Transformations in the angle–angular-momentum phase space

Apostol Vourdas

Squeezing transformations in the discrete ${\mathit{Z}}_{2\mathit{j}+1}$\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${\mathit{Z}}_{2\mathit{j}+1}$ angle--angular-momentum phase space are shown to be associated with the SL(2,${\mathit{Z}}_{2\mathit{j}+1}$) group and important special cases are explicitly constructed. ``Spherical'' bases are introduced in the direct sum of all the Hilbert spaces ${\mathit{H}}_{2\mathit{j}+1}$ and the corresponding representations are defined. Transformations of these bases, using area preserving diffeomorphisms on a sphere, are studied and potential applications in quantum-optics models are discussed.

The Phase Space Model of Nonrelativistic Quantum Mechanics

Jaromir Tosiek, Maciej Przanowski

We focus on several questions arising during the modelling of quantum systems on a phase space. First, we discuss the choice of phase space and its structure. We include an interesting case of discrete phase space. Then, we introduce the respective algebras of functions containing quantum observables. We also consider the possibility of performing strict calculations and indicate cases where only formal considerations can be performed. We analyse alternative realisations of strict and formal calculi, which are determined by different kernels. Finally, two classes of Wigner functions as representations of states are investigated.

Born Reciprocal Representations of the Quantum Algebra

Yigit Yargic

This thesis addresses the representations of the Weyl algebra of quantum mechanics with an explicitly Born reciprocal structure and the dynamics of physical systems in these representations. In this context, we discuss both the regular modular representations based on Aharonov's modular variables, as well as the irregular modular polymer representations inspired by the spin network representation in loop quantum gravity. \n \nWe introduce the modular space as the quantum configuration space corresponding to the modular representation and treat it as an alternative to the classical configuration space. The modular representations have a built-in Abelian gauge symmetry. We discuss the singular limits in which the modular representation converges to the Schrodinger and momentum representations, and show that these limits require two distinct fixings of the modular gauge symmetry. \n \nIn order to explore the propagation of quantum states in the modular space, we construct a Feynman path integral for the harmonic oscillator explicitly as the transition amplitude between two modular states. The result is a functional integral over the compact modular space, which shows novel features of the dynamics such as winding modes, an Aharonov-Bohm phase, and a new action on the modular space. We compare the stationary trajectories that extremize this modular action to the phase space solution of Hamilton's equations in the Schrodinger representation and find a new translation symmetry. We also identify the other symmetries of the harmonic oscillator in the modular action and show their correspondence to the classical case. \n \nWe generalize the relationship between the classical Hamiltonian function and the modular action by postulating a new modular Legendre transform. For demonstration we apply this transformation on the Kepler problem and reformulate it in terms of modular variables. \n \nWe then switch our focus to the representations of the Weyl algebra that violate the assumptions of the Stone-von Neumann theorem. In a similar fashion to the polymer representations studied as a toy model for quantum gravity, we polymerize the modular representation to obtain an inequivalent representation called the modular polymer (MP) representation. \n \nThe new MP representation lacks both position and momentum operators, therefore the Hamiltonian of the harmonic oscillator is regularized with the Weyl operators and the non-separable MP Hilbert space is split into superselection sectors. The solutions to the Schrodinger equation fall into two categories depending on whether the ratio between the modular scale and the polymeric regularization scale is a rational or irrational number. We find a discrete and finite energy spectrum in each superselection sector in the former case, and a continuous, bounded one in the latter.
