Coherent State Quantization and Moment Problem

Abstract

Berezin-Klauder-Toeplitz (“anti-Wick”) or “coherent state” quantization of the complex plane, viewed as the phase space of a particle moving on the line, is derived from the resolution of the unity provided by the standard (or gaussian) coherent states. The construction of these states and their attractive properties are essentially based on the energy spectrum of the harmonic oscillator, that is on natural numbers. We follow in this work the same path by considering sequences of non-negative numbers and their associated “non-linear” coherent states. We illustrate our approach with the 2-d motion of a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field. By solving the involved Stieltjes moment problem we construct a family of coherent states for this model. We then proceed with the corresponding coherent state quantization and we show that this procedure takes into account the circle topology of the classical motion.

ON SOME ASPECTS OF COHERENT STATES QUANTIZATION WITH RELATED EXAMPLES

Isiaka Aremua, Komi Sodoga, P.K. Tchakpélé

This work addresses the general procedure of quantization also known as the Berezin-Klauder-Toeplitz quantization, or as coherent state (CS) (anti-Wick) quantization. The method is first illustrated by the motion of a particle on the circle. Then, we take as second example, a set of generalized photon-added coherent states related to associated hypergeometric functions. The nonclassical behaviour of this set of coherent states is also investigated.

Complex and real Hermite polynomials and related quantizations

Nicolae Cotfas, Jean‐Pierre Gazeau, K. Górska

It is known that the anti-Wick (or standard coherent state) quantization of the complex plane produces both canonical commutation rule and quantum spectrum of the harmonic oscillator (up to the addition of a constant). In this work, we show that these two issues are not necessarily coupled: there exists a family of separable Hilbert spaces, including the usual Fock–Bargmann space, and in each element in this family there exists an overcomplete set of unit-norm states resolving the unity. With the exception of the Fock–Bargmann case, they all produce non-canonical commutation relation whereas the quantum spectrum of the harmonic oscillator remains the same up to the addition of a constant. The statistical aspects of these non-equivalent coherent state quantizations are investigated. We also explore the localization aspects in the real line yielded by similar quantizations based on real Hermite polynomials.

To what extent are canonical and coherent state quantizations physically equivalent?

Hervé Bergeron, Jean‐Pierre Gazeau, Ahmed Youssef

We investigate the consistency of coherent state (or Berezin-Klauder-Toeplitz, or anti-Wick) quantization in regard to physical observations in the non- relativistic (or Galilean) regime. We compare this procedure with the canonical quantization (on both mathematical and physical levels) and examine whether they are or not equivalent in their predictions: is it possible to dif- ferentiate them on a strictly physical level? As far as only usual dynamical observables (position, momentum, energy, ...) are concerned, the quantization through coherent states is proved to be a perfectly valid alternative. We successfully put to the test the validity of CS quantization in the case of data obtained from vibrational spectroscopy (data that allowed to validate canonical quantization in the early period of Quantum Mechanics).

Finite dimensional quantizations of the particle motion: toward new space and momentum inequalities?

Jean‐Pierre Gazeau, François-Xavier Josse-Michaux, Pascal Monceau

We present a N-dimensional quantization a la Berezin-Klauder or frame quantization of the complex plane based on overcomplete families of states (coherent states) generated by the N first harmonic oscillator eigenstates. The spectra of position and momentum operators are finite and eigenvalues are equal, up to a factor, to the zeros of Hermite polynomials. From numerical and theoretical studies of the large N behavior of the product \\lambda_M(N) \\lambda_m(N) of largest and non null smallest positive eigenvalues, we infer the inequality \\delta_N(Q) \\Delta_N(Q) \\approx < 2 \\pi (resp. \\delta_N(P) \\Delta_N(P)\\approx < 2 \\pi) involving, in suitable units, the minimal (\\delta_N(Q)) and maximal (\\Delta_N(Q)) sizes of regions of space (resp. momentum) which are accessible to exploration within this finite-dimensional quantum framework. Interesting issues on the measurement process are discussed.

Berezin’s quantization approach for determining the ladder operators associated to a movement particle on the circle and sphere

Rezaei, S, Ardeshir Rabeie

The quantum formulation of a physical system is essentially based on the associated creation and annihilation operators. In this article, we introduce these ladder operators for a movement particle on the circle and 2-dimensional sphere by Berezin’s quantization .This approach is derived from the resolution of the unity condition in coherent states. In other words, the coherent states provide a straight forward quantization scheme from a classical state to corresponding quantum state. In this article, we study the coherent states of these systems from heat kernel function point of view.

Weyl Quantization and Coherent States

Didier Robert, Monique Combescure

It is well known from the work of Berezin [24] (Commun. Math. Phys. 40:153–174, 1975) in 1975 that the quantization problem of a classical mechanical system is closely related with coherent states. In particular coherent states help to understand the limiting behaviour of a quantum system when the Planck constant \(\hbar \) becomes negligible in macroscopic units. This problem is called the semi-classical limit problem. In this chapter we discuss properties of quantum systems when the configuration space is the Euclidean space \(\mathbb R^n\). So that in the Hamiltonian formalism, the phase space is \(\mathbb R^n\times \mathbb R^n\) with its canonical symplectic form \(\sigma \). The quantization problem has many solutions, so we choose a convient one, introduced by Weyl [259] (The Classical Groups, 1997) and Wigner [261] (Group Theory and Its Applications to Quantum Mechanics of Atomic Spectra, 1959). We study the symmetries of Weyl quantization, the operationnal calculus and applications to propagation of observables. We show that Wick quantization is a natural bridge between Weyl quantization and coherent states. Applications are given to the semi-classical limit after introducing an efficient modern tool: the semi-classical measures. We illustrate the general results proved in this chapter by explicit computations for the harmonic oscillator. More applications will be given in the following chapters, in particular concerning propagators and trace formulas for a large class of quantum systems.
