Abstract

We review the method of quantizers and dequantizers to construct an invertible map of the density operators onto functions including probability distributions and discuss in detail examples of qubit and qutrit states. The biphoton states existing in the process of parametric down-conversion are studied in the probability representation of quantum mechanics.

Probability Representation of Quantum States

Olga V. Man’ko, Vladimir I. Man’ko

The review of new formulation of conventional quantum mechanics where the quantum states are identified with probability distributions is presented. The invertible map of density operators and wave functions onto the probability distributions describing the quantum states in quantum mechanics is constructed both for systems with continuous variables and systems with discrete variables by using the Born's rule and recently suggested method of dequantizer-quantizer operators. Examples of discussed probability representations of qubits (spin-1/2, two-level atoms), harmonic oscillator and free particle are studied in detail. Schrödinger and von Neumann equations, as well as equations for the evolution of open systems, are written in the form of linear classical-like equations for the probability distributions determining the quantum system states. Relations to phase-space representation of quantum states (Wigner functions) with quantum tomography and classical mechanics are elucidated.

Probability Representation of Quantum Mechanics and the Quantizer—Dequantizer Formalism

Vladimir N. Chernega, Olga V. Man’ko, Vladimir I. Man’ko

Abstract A review of the approach where the states of quantum systems are identified with fair probability distributions is presented. The quantizer–dequantizer operators used to construct the invertible map of the density operators onto the probability distributions are applied to obtain the kinetic equations for probability distributions identified with the quantum system states. For qubit states, the von Neumann evolution equation for the density operator is explicitly given in the form of kinetic equation for the probability distribution. Simplest tomographic probability distributions describing the states of multimode quantum oscillator are constructed.

Probability representation of quantum mechanics and star product quantization

S. N. Belolipetskiy, Vladimir N. Chernega, Olga V. Man’ko +1 more

The review of star-product formalism providing the possibility to describe quantum states and quantum observables by means of the functions called symbols of operators which are obtained by means of bijective maps of the operators acting in Hilbert space onto these functions is presented. Examples of the Wigner-Weyl symbols (like Wigner quasi-distributions) and tomographic probability distributions (symplectic, optical and photon-number tomograms) identified with the states of the quantum systems are discussed. Properties of quantizer-dequantizer operators which are needed to construct the bijective maps of two operators (quantum observables) onto the symbols of the operators are studied. The relation of the structure constants of the associative star-product of the operator symbols to the quantizer-dequantizer operators is reviewed.

Conventional Quantum Statistics with a Probability Distribution Describing Quantum System States

Vladimir I. Man’ko, Olga V. Man’ko, Vladimir N. Chernega

Abstract The review of a new probability representation of quantum states is presented, where the states are described by conventional probability distribution functions. The invertible map of the probability distribution onto density operators in the Hilbert space is found using the introduced operators called a quantizer–dequantizer, which specify the invertible map of operators of quantum observables onto functions and a product of the operators onto an associative product (star product) of the functions. Examples of a quantum oscillator and a spin-1/2 particle are considered. The kinetic equations for probabilities, specifying the evolution of the states of a quantum system, which are equivalent to Schrödinger and von Neumann equations, are derived explicitly.

Integral transforms between tomogram and quasi-probability functions based on quantizer-dequantizer operators formalism

Vladimir I. Man’ko, Liubov A. Markovich

An application of a quantizer–dequantizer method as a unifying description for representations of states in quantum mechanics is considered. Well-known quasi-distributions and tomograms are rewritten in terms of the dequantizer and quantizer operators. Using this description of the tomographic probability function and its symbol, we construct the invertible integral transforms between the tomogram and the quasi-probability distributions such as Wigner, Kirkwood–Rihaczek, Choi–Williams, P- and Q-functions, and others.
