Abstract

Since the foundation of quantum mechanics, operator-ordering identities for mutual transformation of power of coordinate-momentum operators have been a fundamental and tough topic. To the best of our knowledge, this topic has not been tackled smoothly because there is no elegant and direct way to investigate it. In this paper we report a very concise and novel method to handle this topic, i.e., we employ the generating function of two-variable Hermite polynomial and the characteristics of ordered operators to derive a series of operator-ordering identities for mutual transformation of power of coordinate-momentum operators: they surly possess potential applications. The essence of our method lies in the fact that coordinate-momentum operators can be permutable within ordered product of operators, just as the scenarios in P-Q ordering, Q-P ordering and Weyl ordering. We also derive the integration transformation formula about two-variable Hermite polynomial in phase space. The correspondence relation between operator ordering and quantization recipe is established. The beauty of theoretical physics is embodied extensively in the paper.

New two-fold integration transformation for the Wigner operator in phase space quantum mechanics and its relation to operator ordering

Fan Hong-Yi

Using the Weyl ordering of operators expansion formula (Hong-Yi Fan, J. Phys. A 25 (1992) 3443) this paper finds a kind of two-fold integration transformation about the Wigner operator Δ ( q',p' ) (q-number transform) in phase space quantum mechanics, and its inverse where Q , P are the coordinate and momentum operators, respectively. We apply it to study mutual converting formulae among Q–P ordering, P–Q ordering and Weyl ordering of operators. In this way, the contents of phase space quantum mechanics can be enriched. The formula of the Weyl ordering of operators expansion and the technique of integration within the Weyl ordered product of operators are used in this discussion.

New operator identities with regard to the two-variable Hermite polynomial by virtue of entangled state representation

Hong‐Chun Yuan, Heng-Mei Li, Xuefen Xu

By virtue of the entangled state representation we concisely derive some new operator identities with regard to the two-variable Hermite polynomial (TVHP). By them and the technique of integration within an ordered product (IWOP) of operators we further derive new generating function formulas of the TVHP. They are useful in quantum optical theoretical calculations. It is seen from this work that by combining the IWOP technique and quantum mechanical representations one can derive some new integration formulas even without really performing the integration.

Hong-Yi Fan, Zhen Wang

For directly normalizing the photon non-Gaussian states (e.g., photon added and subtracted squeezed states), we use the method of integration within an ordered product (IWOP) of operators to derive some new bosonic operator-ordering identities. We also derive some new integration transformation formulas about one- and two-variable Hermite polynomials in complex function space. These operator identities and associative integration formulas provide much convenience for constructing non-Gaussian states in quantum engineering.
