Research on Quantum Mechanical Representations via the IWOP Method

Fan Hong-Yi

Based on the two-dimensional normal distributions in statistics and the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators(IWOP),the explicit forms in the Fock space of some quantum representations are simply obtained such as coordinate representation,momentum representation,coordinate-momentum intermediate representation,and coherent representation.In addition,their corresponding completeness is also easily proved.

Usually complicated unitary operators in exponential form are hard to handle and the transformation stated by them are not physically clear until these operators are disentangled. By virtue of the technique of integration within an ordered product (IWOP) of operators, we can disentangle some complicated unitary operators and then reveal their physical role. Many new unitary operators can be found after new quantum mechanical representations are constructed by virtue of the IWOP technique. The unitary operators for permutation, Hilbert transform, Householder transform, and Hardmad transform can also be introduced. The IWOP technique thus bridges this mathematical gap between classical mechanics and quantum mechanics and provides a new route connecting classical transformations to quantum mechanical unitary operators. In this way, the symbolic method exhibits further beauty and elegance and can be increasingly used for developing various fields of quantum physics.

We present a general unified approach for arranging quantum operators of optical fields into ordered products (normal ordering, antinormal ordering, Weyl ordering (or symmetric ordering)) by fashioning Dirac's symbolic method and representation theory. We propose the technique of integration within an ordered product (IWOP) of operators to realize our goal. The IWOP makes Dirac's representation theory and the symbolic method more transparent and consequently more easily understood. The beauty of Dirac's symbolic method is further revealed. Various applications of the IWOP technique, such as in developing the entangled state representation theory, nonlinear coherent state theory, Wigner function theory, etc, are presented.
