Mutual transformations between theP—Q,Q—P, and generalized Weyl ordering of operators
Xing-Lei Xu, Hongqi Li, Hong-Yi Fan
Based on the generalized Weyl quantization scheme, which relies on the generalized Wigner operator Ω k ( p , q ) with a real k parameter and can unify the P—Q , Q—P , and Weyl ordering of operators in k = 1, − 1, 0, respectively, we find the mutual transformations between δ ( p — P ) δ ( q — Q ), δ ( q — Q ) δ ( p — P ), and Ω k ( p, q ), which are, respectively, the integration kernels of the P—Q , Q—P , and generalized Weyl quantization schemes. The mutual transformations provide us with a new approach to deriving the Wigner function of quantum states. The — and — ordered forms of Ω k ( p , q ) are also derived, which helps us to put the operators into their — and — ordering, respectively.
