The Wigner function of aq-deformed harmonic oscillator model

Published Apr 30, 2007• 13 citations

Abstract

The phase space representation for a q -deformed model of the quantum harmonic oscillator is constructed. We have found explicit expressions for both the Wigner and Husimi distribution functions for the stationary states of the q -oscillator model under consideration. The Wigner function is expressed as a basic hypergeometric series, related to the Al-Salam-Chihara polynomials. It is shown that, in the limit case h → 0 ( q → 1), both the Wigner and Husimi distribution functions reduce correctly to their well-known non-relativistic analogues. Surprisingly, examination of both distribution functions in the q -deformed model shows that, when q ≪ 1, their behaviour in the phase space is similar to the ground state of the ordinary quantum oscillator, but with a displacement towards negative values of the momentum. We have also computed the mean values of the position and momentum using the Wigner function. Unlike the ordinary case, the mean value of the momentum is not zero and it depends on q and n . The ground-state-like behaviour of the distribution functions for excited states in the q -deformed model opens quite new perspectives for further experimental measurements of quantum systems in the phase space.

The Wigner distribution function for the one-dimensional parabose oscillator

E. I. Jafarov, Stijn F. Lievens, Joris Van Der Jeugt

In the beginning of the 1950's, Wigner introduced a fundamental deformation from the canonical quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator, which is nowadays sometimes called a Wigner quantum oscillator or a parabose oscillator. Also, in quantum mechanics the so-called Wigner distribution is considered to be the closest quantum analogue of the classical probability distribution over the phase space. In this article, we consider which definition for such distribution function could be used in the case of non-canonical quantum mechanics. We then explicitly compute two different expressions for this distribution function for the case of the parabose oscillator. Both expressions turn out to be multiple sums involving (generalized) Laguerre polynomials. Plots then show that the Wigner distribution function for the ground state of the parabose oscillator is similar in behaviour to the Wigner distribution function of the first excited state of the canonical quantum oscillator.

The Husimi distribution function and superposition of q-harmonic oscillator stationary states

Natig M. Atakishiyev, E. I. Jafarov, A. M. Jafarova +1 more

We study a superposition of four stationary states of the q-deformed quantum harmonic oscillator in phase space, through the Husimi quasi-distribution function. This function is analytically computed and it consists of 16 parts, which are explicitly given in terms of q-shifted factorials. Our results are consistent with the known observation that the smoothing of the Wigner quasi-probability distribution through a filter of a size larger than h-bar restricts the appearance of any sub-Planck structures when q -> 0.

The Wigner function of a semiconfined harmonic oscillator model with a position-dependent effective mass

Sh. M. Nagiyev, A. M. Jafarova, E. I. Jafarov

We propose a phase-space representation concept in terms of the Wigner function for a quantum harmonic oscillator model that exhibits the semiconfinement effect through its mass varying with the position. The new method is used to compute the Wigner distribution function exactly for such a semiconfinement quantum system. This method suppresses the divergence of the integrand in the definition of the quantum distribution function and leads to the computation of its analytical expressions for the stationary states of the semiconfined oscillator model. For this quantum system, both the presence and absence of the applied external homogenous field are studied. Obtained exact expressions of the Wigner distribution function are expressed through the Bessel function of the first kind and Laguerre polynomials. Furthermore, some of the special cases and limits are discussed in detail.

Description of the Bluffing Phenomenon in the Untrusted Seller–Buyer Relationship via the Wigner Function of the q-Deformed Quantum Harmonic Oscillator Model

E. I. Jafarov

The q -deformed quantum harmonic oscillator model is applied to the description of the untrusted seller–buyer relationship. We assumed that the demand law by the buyer is described through the square modulus of the wavefunctions of the q -oscillator model in the position representation, whereas the supply law by the seller is described through the square modulus of the wavefunctions in the momentum representation. Thus, their untrusted relationship is described through the q -oscillator Wigner function of the stationary states in terms of the Al Salam-Chihara polynomials. As an example, we study the first excited state and show that the finite-difference differentiation parameter h or the deformation parameter q generated through it can be considered as a parameter defining the level of the bluffing phenomenon in this untrusted relationship.

Husimi representation for stationary states

John E. Harriman, Mark E. Casida

Abstract This paper considers a Husimi representation of quantum mechanics in which the (stationary) state of a system or ensemble is described by a Husimi function and an observable is described by a phase space function or distribution such that the expectation value of the observable is given by an integral over phase space of the product of that function or distribution and the Husimi function. The density matrix, Wigner function, and Husimi function are considered to be alternative ways of describing the state of a system or ensemble, and methods of recovering the Wigner function or density matrix from the Husimi function are discussed. The classical limits of the Wigner and Husimi functions and of the relationship between them are considered. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

q-Deformed Harmonic Oscillator in Phase Space

A. K. Aringazin, K. M. Aringazin, Sotirios Baskoutas +3 more

Relation between Bopp-Kubo formulation and Weyl-Wigner-Moyal symbol calculus, and non-commutative geometry interpretation of the phase space representation of quantum mechanics are studied. Harmonic oscillator in phase space via creation and annihilation operators, both the usual and $q$-deformed, is investigated. We found that the Bopp-Kubo formulation is just non-commuting coordinates representation of the symbol calculus. The Wigner operator for the $q$-deformed harmonic oscillator is shown to be proportional to the 3-axis spherical angular momentum operator of the algebra $su_{q}(2)$. The relation of the Fock space for the harmonic oscillator and double Hilbert space of the Gelfand-Naimark-Segal construction is established. The quantum extension of the classical ergodiicity condition is proposed.
