Nonorthogonal basis sets in quantum mechanics: Representations and second quantization

Emilio Artacho, Lorenzo Miláns del Bosch

A tensorial formalism is presented for the general use of nonorthogonal basis sets in quantum mechanics, both in representation theory and in second quantization. The natural formulation of second quantization for nonorthogonal basis sets defined here is shown to be formally very similar to the usual formulation for orthogonal basis sets. The formalism is used to study orthogonality effects in a Hubbard model defined on a semi-infinite lattice.

B. A. Veklenko

Abstract In cases of solving the problem described by the equations of quantum electrodynamics within the second quantization formalism, it is proposed to quantize these equations one more time, and then solve this problem within the tertiary quantization formalism. In optics of the dispersive media, this procedure makes it possible to avoid the problem of the forced breaking of the photon quantum correlators and to discover many correlation effects previously unknown.

Quantum Optics for Experimentalists

Z. Y. Ou

This book on quantum optics is from the point of view of an experimentalist. It approaches the theory of quantum optics with the language of optical modes of classical wave theory, with which experimentalists are most familiar.
