Para-Grassmann Variables and Coherent States

D. C. Cabra

Published Dec 7, 2006• 9 citations
arXivHTMLPDF

Abstract

The definitions of para-Grassmann variables and (/-oscillator algebras are re called.Some new properties are given.We then introduce appropriate coherent states as well as their dual states.This allows us to obtain a formula for the trace of a operator expressed as a function of the creation and annihilation operators.

Coherent States

Bryan J. Dalton, John Jeffers, Stephen Mark Barnett

Abstract This chapter defines and determines the properties of the important (though non-physical) boson and fermion coherent states, which are specified in terms of c-number (bosons) or Grassmann (fermions) variables and their complex conjugates, and defined via unitary displacement operators acting on the vacuum state. Important non-orthogonality, overcompleteness and coherence properties of coherent states are obtained. Coherent states are shown to be eigenstates of mode annihilation operators, with eigenvalues given by the c-number or Grassmann variable specifying the state. Related (unnormalised) Bargmann states are defined, depending only on the variable and not its complex conjugate, and are used to obtain useful representations of physical states and canonical forms for operators in terms of Bargmann state projectors, as well as obtaining important results such as for traces of operator products in terms of phase space integrals. Mode creation operators acting on Bargmann states are shown as equivalent to differentiation.

Fermionic coherent states

Monique Combescure, Didier Robert

The aim of this paper is to give a self-contained and unified presentation of a fermionic coherent state theory with the necessary mathematical details, discussing their definition, properties and some applications. After defining Grassmann algebras, it is possible to get a classical analog for the fermionic degrees of freedom in a quantum system. Following the basic work of Berezin (1966 The Method of Second Quantization (New York: Academic); 1987 Introduction to Superanalysis (Dordrecht: Reidel Publishing Company)), we show that we can compute with Grassmann numbers as we do with complex numbers: derivation, integration, Fourier transform. After that we show that we have quantization formulas for fermionic observables. In particular, there exists a Moyal product formula. As an application, we consider explicit computations for propagators with quadratic Hamiltonians in annihilation and creation operators. We prove a Mehler formula for the propagator and Mehlig–Wilkinson-type formulas for the covariant and contravariant symbols of ‘metaplectic’ transformations for fermionic states. This article is part of a special issue of Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical devoted to ‘Coherent states: mathematical and physical aspects’.

Q-boson coherent states and para-Grassmann variables for multi-particle states

Ramírez, Romina Andrea, G. L. Rossini, D. C. Cabra +1 more

We describe coherent states and associated generalized Grassmann variables for a system of m independent q-boson modes. A resolution of unity in terms of generalized Berezin integrals leads to generalized Grassmann symbolic calculus. Formulae for operator traces are given and the thermodynamic partition function for a system of q-boson oscillators is discussed.

Coherent and squeezed states of quantum Heisenberg algebras

Nibaldo Alvarez-Moraga

Starting from deformed quantum Heisenberg Lie algebras some realizations are given in terms of the usual creation and annihilation operators of the standard harmonic oscillator. Then the associated algebra eigenstates are computed and give rise to new classes of deformed coherent and squeezed states. They are parametrized by deformed algebra parameters and suitable redefinitions of them as paragrassmann numbers. Some properties of these deformed states are also analysed.
