Abstract

Using elements of symmetry, as gauge invariance, many aspects of a Schrödinger equation in phase space are analyzed. The number (Fock space) representation is constructed in phase space and the Green function, directly associated with the Wigner function, is introduced as a basic element of perturbative procedure. This phase space representation is applied to the Landau problem and the Liouville potential.

SOLUTIONS FOR THE LANDAU PROBLEM USING SYMPLECTIC REPRESENTATIONS OF THE GALILEI GROUP

R. G. G. Amorim, M.C.B. Fernandes, F. C. Khanna +2 more

Symplectic unitary representations for the Galilei group are studied. The formalism is based on the noncommutative structure of the star-product, and using group theory approach as a guide, a consistent physical theory in phase space is constructed. The state of a quantum mechanics system is described by a quasi-probability amplitude that is in association with the Wigner function. As a result, the Schrödinger and Pauli–Schrödinger equations are derived in phase space. As an application, the Landau problem in phase space is studied. This shows how this method of quantum mechanics in phase space is to be brought to the realm of spatial noncommutative theories.

Quantum Physics in Phase Space: an Analysis of Simple Pendulum

In this work we present a brief review about quantum mechanics in phase space. The approach discussed is based in the notion of symplectic structure and star-operators. In this sense, unitary representations for the Galilei group are construct, and the Schrodinger equation in phase space is derived. The connection between phase space amplitudes and Wigner function is presented. As a new result we solved the Schrodinger equation in phase space for simple pendulum.

WIGNER FUNCTIONS, FRESNEL OPTICS, AND SYMPLECTIC CONNECTIONS ON PHASE SPACE

J. M. Isidro

We prove that Wigner functions contain a symplectic connection. The latter covariantizes the symplectic exterior derivative on phase space. We analyze the role played by this connection and introduce the notion of local symplectic covariance of quantum-mechanical states. This latter symmetry is at work in the Schrödinger equation on phase space.

Symplectically covariant Schrödinger equation in phase space

Maurice A. de Gosson

A classical theorem of Stone and von Neumann says that the Schrödinger representation is, up to unitary equivalences, the only irreducible representation of the Heisenberg group on the Hilbert space of square-integrable functions on configuration space. Using the Wigner-Moyal transform we construct an irreducible representation of the Heisenberg group on a certain Hilbert space of square-integrable functions defined on phase space. This allows us to extend the usual Weyl calculus into a phase-space calculus and leads us to a quantum mechanics in phase space, equivalent to standard quantum mechanics. We also briefly discuss the extension of metaplectic operators to phase space and the probabilistic interpretation of the solutions of the phase space Schrödinger equation

Analytical Solution for Gross-Pitaevskii Equation in Phase Space and Wigner Function

A. X. Martins, R. A. S. Paiva, G. X. A. Petronilo +4 more

In this work we study symplectic unitary representations for the Galilei group. As a consequence a Non-Linear Schrödinger equation is derived in phase space. The formalism is based on the non-commutative structure of the star-product, and using the group theory approach as a guide a physically consistent theory is constructed in phase space. The state is described by a quasi-probability amplitude that is in association with the Wigner function. With these results, we solve the Gross-Pitaevskii equation in phase space and obtained the Wigner function for the system considered.

In this work, we study symplectic unitary representations for the Galilei group. As a consequence a nonlinear Schrödinger equation is derived in phase space. The formalism is based on the noncommutative structure of the star product, and using the group theory approach as a guide a physically consistent theory is constructed in phase space. The state is described by a quasi-probability amplitude that is in association with the Wigner function.
