The Bargmann representation for the quantum mechanics on a sphere

Kowalski, K L, Rembielinski, J

Published Nov 16, 2000• 20 citations
OpenAlex

Abstract

The Bargmann representation is constructed corresponding to the coherent states for a particle on a sphere introduced in: K. Kowalski and J. Rembielinski, J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 33, 6035 (2000). The connection is discussed between the introduced formalism and the standard approach based on the Hilbert space of square integrable functions on a sphere S^2.

Quantum mechanics on a sphere and coherent states

K. Kowalski, Jakub Rembieliński

The coherent states for a particle on a sphere are introduced. These states are labelled by points of the classical phase space, i.e. the position on the sphere and the angular momentum of a particle. As with the coherent states for a particle on a circle discussed in Kowalski et al ( 1996 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 29 4149 ), we deal with a deformation of the classical phase space related to quantum fluctuations. The expectation values of the position and the angular momentum in the coherent states are regarded as the best possible approximation of the classical phase space. The correctness of the introduced coherent states is illustrated by an example of the rotator.

Coherent States on Spheres

Brian C. Hall, Jeffrey J. Mitchell, Jeffrey +1 more

Abstract. We describe a family of coherent states and an associated resolution of the identity for a quantum particle whose classical configuration space is the d-dimensional sphere S d. The coherent states are labeled by points in the associated phase space T ∗ (S d). These coherent states are not of Perelomov type but rather are constructed as the eigenvectors of suitably defined annihilation operators. We describe as well the Segal–Bargmann representation for the system, the associated unitary Segal–Bargmann transform, and a natural inversion formula. Although many of these results are in principle special cases of the results of B. Hall and M. Stenzel, we give here a substantially different description based on ideas of T. Thiemann and of K. Kowalski and J. Rembieliński. All of these results can be generalized to a system whose configuration space is an arbitrary compact symmetric space. We focus on the sphere case in order to carry out the calculations in a self-contained and explicit way.

Coherent states on spheres

Brian C. Hall, Jeffrey J. Mitchell

We describe a family of coherent states and an associated resolution of the identity for a quantum particle whose classical configuration space is the d-dimensional sphere Sd. The coherent states are labeled by points in the associated phase space T*(Sd). These coherent states are not of Perelomov type but rather are constructed as the eigenvectors of suitably defined annihilation operators. We describe as well the Segal–Bargmann representation for the system, the associated unitary Segal–Bargmann transform, and a natural inversion formula. Although many of these results are in principle special cases of the results of Hall and Stenzel, we give here a substantially different description based on ideas of Thiemann and of Kowalski and Rembieliński.

The Coherent States of the Hydrogen Atom

Didier Robert, Monique Combescure

The aim of this chapter is to present a construction of a set of coherent states for the hydrogen atom proposed by Villegas-Blas (The Laplacian on the n-sphere, the hydrogen atom and the Bargmann space representation. Ph.D. thesis, Mathematics Department, University of Virginia, 1996, [251]), Thomas and Villegas-Blas (Commun Math Phys 187:623–645, 1997, [244]). We show that in a semiclassical sense they concentrate essentially around the Kepler orbits (in configuration space) of the classical motion. A suitable unitary transformation (the Fock operator) maps the pure point subspace of the hydrogen atom Hamitonian onto the Hilbert space \(L^2({\mathbb S}^3)\) for the \(\mathbb S^3\) sphere. We study the coherent states for the \(\mathbb S^3\) sphere (as introduced by Uribe (J Funct Anal 59:535–556, 1984, [247]) and show that the action of the group SO(4) is irreducible in the space generated by the spherical harmonics of a given degree. Note that coherent states for the hydrogen atom have been extensively studied by J. Klauder and his school. We have chosen not to present them here and refer the interested reader to Klauder and Skagerstam (Coherent states, Worlds Scientific Publishing, Singapore, 1985, [167]).

Coherent states for the quantum complex plane

K. Kowalski, Jakub Rembieliński

The coherent states for the quantum complex plane are introduced. It is demonstrated that the Bargmann representation corresponding to these states involves both the standard integral with respect to the Gaussian measure and the Berezin integral over Grassmann variables. The quantum generalizations of many constructions developed for classical coherent states are described.
