Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate whether a fundamental property of conditional expectations holds true for second quantization operators.We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for that and we show how they reduce for specific choices of operators.Our proofs are based on two crucial formulas which relates Wick and ordinary products.New proofs for these two formulas are also given.2000

ON THE EXTENSION OF A BASIC PROPERTY OF CONDITIONAL EXPECTATIONS TO SECOND

Quantization Operators, Alberto Lanconelli

The aim of this paper is to investigate whether a fundamental property of conditional expectations holds true for second quantization oper- ators. We provide necessary and su-cient conditions for that and we show how they reduce for speciflc choices of operators. Our proofs are based on two crucial formulas which relates Wick and ordinary products. New proofs for these two formulas are also given.

BAYES' FORMULA FOR SECOND QUANTIZATION OPERATORS

Alberto Lanconelli

The Bayes' formula provides the relationship between conditional expectations with respect to absolutely continuous measures. The conditional expectation is in the context of the Wiener space — an example of second quantization operator. In this note we obtain a formula that generalizes the above-mentioned Bayes' rule to general second quantization operators.

When do Projections Commute?

W. Rehder

Abstract Necessary and sufficient conditions for commutativity of two projections in Hilbert space are given through properties of so-called conditional connectives which are derived from the conditional probability operator PQP. This approach unifies most of the known proofs, provides a few new criteria, and permits certain suggestive interpretations for compound properties of quantum-mechanical systems.

Second Quantization Operators for Spin Operators

Takehiko Oguchi

Based on the commutation relations of spin operators, the second quantization operators derived by Holstein-Primakoff and Dyson and its Hermitean conjugate operators are obtained. The matrix representations for a scalar product of two spins by the Dyson's operators are not in agreement with the rigorous one except for the case of spin 1/2, although their eigenvalues are correct.

Conditional expectations in Quantum Mechanics and causal interpretations: the Bohm momentum as a best predictor

Raymond Brummelhuis

Given a normalized state-vector $ψ$ , we define the conditional expectation $\mathbb{E }_{ψ} (A | B ) $ of a Hermitian operator $A $ with respect to a strongly commuting family of self-adjoint operators $B $ as the best approximation, in the operator mean square norm associated to $ψ$ , of $A $ by a real-valued function of $B . $ A fundamental example is the conditional expectation of the momentum operator $P $ given the position operator $X $, which is found to be the Bohm momentum. After developing the Bohm theory from this point of view we treat conditional expectations with respect to general $B $, which we apply to non-relativistic spin 1/2-particles. We derive the dynamics of the conditional expectations of momentum and spin with respect to position and the third spin component. These dynamics can be interpreted in terms of classical continuum mechanics as a two-component fluid whose components carry intrinsic angular momentum. Interpreting the joint spectrum of the conditioning operators as a space of beables, we can introduce a classical-stochastic particle dynamics on this space which is compatible with the time-evolution of the Born probability, by combining the de Broglie-Bohm guidance condition with a Markov jump process, following an idea of J. Bell. This results in a new Bohm-type model for particles with spin. A basic problem is that such auxiliary particle dynamics are far from unique. We finally examine the relation of our conditional expectations with the conditional expectations of the theory of $C^* $-algebras and, as an application, derive a general evolution equation for conditional expectations for operators acting on finite dimensional Hilbert spaces. Two appendices re-interpret the classical Bohm model as an integrable constrained Hamiltonian system, and provide the details of the two-fluid interpretation.Given a normalized state-vector $ψ$, we define the conditional expectation $\mathbb{E }_{ψ} (A | B ) $ of a Hermitian operator $A $ with respect to a strongly commuting family of self-adjoint operators $B $ as the best approximation, in the operator mean square norm associated to $ψ$, of $A $ by a real-valued function of $B . $ A fundamental example is the conditional expectation of the momentum operator $P $ given the position operator $X $, which is found to be the Bohm momentum.

Compositions of states and observables in Fock spaces

Laurent Amour, Lisette Jager, Jean Nourrigat

This article is concerned with compositions in the context of three standard quantizations in the framework of Fock spaces, namely, anti-Wick, Wick and Weyl quantizations. The first one is a composition of states also known as a Wick product and is closely related to the standard scattering identification operator encountered in Quantum Electrodynamics for issues on time dynamics (see [ 29 , 13 ]). Anti-Wick quantization and Segal–Bargmann transforms are implied here for that purpose. The other compositions are for observables (operators in some specific classes) for the Wick and Weyl symbols. For the Wick and Weyl symbols of the composition of two operators, we obtain an absolutely converging series and for the Weyl symbol, the remainder terms up to any orders of the expansion are controlled, still in the Fock space framework.This article is concerned with compositions in the context of three standard quantizations in the framework of Fock spaces, namely, anti-Wick, Wick and Weyl quantizations.
