Abstract

Geometric Quantum Mechanics is a version of quantum theory that has been formulated in terms of Hamiltonian phase-space dynamics. The states in this framework belong to points in complex projective Hilbert space, the observables are real valued functions on the space, and the Hamiltonian flow is described by the Schr{\"o}dinger equation. Besides, one has demonstrated that the stronger version of the uncertainty relation, namely the Robertson-Schr{\"o}dinger uncertainty relation, may be stated using symplectic form and Riemannian metric. In this research, the generalized Robertson-Schr{\"o}dinger uncertainty principle for spin $\frac{1}{2}$ system has been constructed by considering the operators corresponding to arbitrary direction.

THE DYNAMICAL EVOLUTION OF GEOMETRIC UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE FOR SPIN 1/2 SYSTEM

H. Umair, Hishamuddin B Zainuddin, K.T. Chan +1 more

Geometric Quantum Mechanics is a formulation that demonstrates how quantum theory may be casted in the language of Hamiltonian phase-space dynamics. In this framework, the states are referring to points in complex projective Hilbert space, the observables are real valued functions on the space and the Hamiltonian flow is defined by Schr{\"o}dinger equation. Recently, the effort to cast uncertainty principle in terms of geometrical language appeared to become the subject of intense study in geometric quantum mechanics. One has shown that the stronger version of uncertainty relation i.e. the Robertson-Schr{\"o}dinger uncertainty relation can be expressed in terms of the symplectic form and Riemannian metric. In this paper, we investigate the dynamical behavior of the uncertainty relation for spin $\frac{1}{2}$ system based on this formulation. We show that the Robertson-Schr{\"o}dinger uncertainty principle is not invariant under Hamiltonian flow. This is due to the fact that during evolution process, unlike symplectic area, the Riemannian metric is not invariant under the flow.

The evolution of geometric Robertson–Schrödinger uncertainty principle for spin 1 system

Umair Abdul Halim, Hishamuddin B Zainuddin, Kar Tim Chan +1 more

Geometric Quantum Mechanics is a mathematical framework that shows how quantum theory may be expressed in terms of Hamiltonian phase-space dynamics. The states are points in complex projective Hilbert space, the observables are real valued functions on the space, and the Hamiltonian flow is specified by the Schrödinger equation in this framework. The quest to express the uncertainty principle in geometrical language has recently become the focus of significant research in geometric quantum mechanics. One has demonstrated that the Robertson–Schrödinger uncertainty principle, which is a stronger version of the uncertainty relation, can be defined in terms of symplectic form and Riemannian metric. On the basis of this formulation, we study the dynamical behavior of the uncertainty relation for the spin 1 system in this work. We show that under Hamiltonian flow, the Robertson–Schrödinger uncertainty principles are not invariant. This is because, unlike the symplectic area, the Riemannian metric is not invariant under Hamiltonian flow throughout the evolution process.

Geometric uncertainty relation for mixed quantum states

Ole Andersson, Hoshang Heydari

In this paper we use symplectic reduction in an Uhlmann bundle to construct a principal fiber bundle over a general space of unitarily equivalent mixed quantum states. The bundle, which generalizes the Hopf bundle for pure states, gives in a canonical way rise to a Riemannian metric and a symplectic structure on the base space. With these we derive a geometric uncertainty relation for observables acting on quantum systems in mixed states. We also give a geometric proof of the classical Robertson-Schr\"{o}dinger uncertainty relation, and we compare the two. They turn out not to be equivalent, because of the multiple dimensions of the gauge group for general mixed states. We give examples of observables for which the geometric relation provides a stronger estimate than that of Robertson and Schr\"{o}dinger, and vice versa.

The uncertainty principle and the energy identity for holomorphic maps in geometric quantum mechanics

Barbara Sanborn

The theory of geometric quantum mechanics describes a quantum system as a Hamiltonian dynamical system with a complex projective Hilbert space as its phase space, thus equipped with a Riemannian metric in addition to a symplectic structure. This paper extends the geometric quantum theory to include aspects of the symplectic topology of the state space by identifying the Robertson-Schrödinger uncertainty relation for pure quantum states as the differential version of the energy identity in the theory of $J$-holomorphic curves. We consider a family of maps from a Riemann surface into a finite-dimensional quantum state space by using the vector fields generated by two quantum observables,and show that the Fubini-Study metric tensor pulls back by such a map to the covariance tensor for the two observables. By calculating the map energy density in the pull-back metric, the uncertainty relation is represented as an equality that compares the map energy differential to the sum of the pull-back of the symplectic form and a positive definite term that vanishes when the map is holomorphic. Saturation of the Robertson-Schrödinger inequality occurs when the map is conformal and the off-diagonal covariance terms vanish. For compact Riemann surfaces where such a map can be globally defined, if the map is holomorphic, it is harmonic and its image is a minimal surface. In this case, the uncertainty product integral is a topological invariant that depends only on the homology class of the curve modulo its boundary.

Geometric Hamiltonian formulation of quantum mechanics in complex projective spaces

Davide Pastorello

In finite dimension (at least), Quantum Mechanics can be formulated as a proper Hamiltonian theory where a notion of phase space is given by the projective space P(H) constructed on the Hilbert space H of the considered quantum theory. It is well-known P(H) can be equipped with a structure of Kähler manifold, in particular we have a symplectic form and a Poisson structure; Quantum dynamics can be described in terms of a Hamiltonian vector field on P(H). In this paper, exploiting the notion and properties of so-called frame functions, I describe a general prescription for associating quantum observables to real functions on P(H), classical-like observables, and quantum states to probability densities on P(H), Liouville densities, in order to obtain a complete and meaningful Hamiltonian formulation of a finite-dimensional quantum theory.

Geometric Hamiltonian quantum mechanics and applications

Davide Pastorello

Adopting a geometric point of view on Quantum Mechanics is an intriguing idea since, we know that geometric methods are very powerful in Classical Mechanics then, we can try to use them to study quantum systems. In this paper, we summarize the construction of a general prescription to set up a well-defined and self-consistent geometric Hamiltonian formulation of finite-dimensional quantum theories, where phase space is given by the Hilbert projective space (as Kähler manifold), in the spirit of celebrated works of Kibble, Ashtekar and others. Within geometric Hamiltonian formulation quantum observables are represented by phase space functions, quantum states are described by Liouville densities (phase space probability densities), and Schrödinger dynamics is induced by a Hamiltonian flow on the projective space. We construct the star-product of this phase space formulation and some applications of geometric picture are discussed.
