Abstract

Examples are given of q-deformed systems that may be interpreted by the standard rules of quantum theory in terms of new degrees of freedom and supplementary quantum numbers.

QUANTUM GROUPS AND THERMO FIELD DYNAMICS

S. De Martino, Silvio De Siena, Giuseppe Vitiello

The algebraic structure of Thermo Field Dynamics for bosons can be fully incorporated in the q-deformation of the Weyl-Heisenberg algebra hq (1) . The doubling of the degrees of freedom, the set of the tilde-conjugation rules, the Bogoliubov transformation and its generator have a direct and simple interpretation in terms of operators and of properties of hq (1) . The notion of “thermal degree of freedom” introduced by Umezawa also finds a more specific formalization since the corresponding “thermal conjugate momentum” can be formally introduced, thus providing us with a set of canonical “thermal” variables.

An interacting ensemble of particles in the context of quantum algebra

Antonio Maria Scarfone, P. Narayana Swamy

In the framework of the q -deformed oscillator algebra we investigate the nature of the interaction among the particles of a free q -boson gas with a view to interpreting the interaction in terms of the general properties of the q -deformation. It is shown that many thermodynamic quantities characterizing the q -boson system can be expressed as power series in the number of particles operator or as a series in the deformation parameter q , implying that the q -deformation can originate from the interaction among the particles of the ensemble. As an example, we derive the virial expansion of the q -boson gas, showing that the lowest order coefficient reduces to the standard virial coefficient of an undeformed boson gas, while the higher order coefficients contain effects arising from interaction.

q -deformed noncommutative cat states and their nonclassical properties

Sanjib Dey

We study several classical-like properties of $q$-deformed nonlinear coherent states as well as nonclassical behaviors of $q$-deformed version of the Schr\"odinger cat states in noncommutative space. Coherent states in $q$-deformed space are found to be minimum uncertainty states together with the squeezed photon distributions unlike the ordinary systems, where the photon distributions are always Poissonian. Several advantages of utilizing cat states in noncommutative space over the standard quantum mechanical spaces have been reported here. For instance, the $q$-deformed parameter has been utilized to improve the squeezing of the quadrature beyond the ordinary case. Most importantly, the parameter provides an extra degree of freedom by which we achieve both quadrature squeezed and number squeezed cat states at the same time in a single system, which is impossible to achieve from ordinary cat states.
