Generalized uncertainty relations and coherent and squeezed states

Published Dec 1, 2000• 33 citations

Abstract

Characteristic uncertainty relations and their related squeezed states are briefly reviewed and compared in accordance with the generalizations of three equivalent definitions of canonical coherent states. The standard SU(1, 1) coherent states are shown to be the unique states that minimize the Schrödinger uncertainty relation for every pair of the three generators and the Robertson relation for the three generators. The characteristic uncertainty inequalities are naturally extended to the case of several states. It is shown that these inequalities can be written in the equivalent complementary form.

Schroedinger uncertainty relation and its minimization states

D. A. Trifonov

An introductory survey on the Schroedinger uncertainty relation and its minimization states is presented with minimal number of formulas and some historical points. The case of the two canonical observables, position and momentum, is discussed in greater detail: basic properties of the two subsets of minimization states (canonical squeezed and coherent states) are reviewed and compared. The case of two non-canonical observables is breafly outlined. Stanfard SU(1,1) and SU(2) group-related coherent states can be defined as states that minimize Schroedinger inequality for the three pairs of generators simultaneously. The symmetry of the Heisenberg and Schroedinger relations is also discussed, and two natural generalizations to the cases of several observables and several states are noted.

Characteristic uncertainty relations

D. A. Trifonov, Stoil Donev

New uncertainty relations for n observables are established. The relations take the invariant form of inequalities between the characteristic coefficients of order r , , of the uncertainty matrix and the matrix of mean commutators of the observables. It is shown that the second- and third-order characteristic inequalities for the three generators of and SU (2) are minimized in the corresponding group-related coherent states with maximal symmetry.

Generalized uncertainty relations and characteristic invariants for the multimode states

E. C. G. Sudarshan, Charles B. Chiu, G. Bhamathi

The close relationship between the zero-point energy, the uncertainty relation, coherent states, squeezed states, and correlated states for one mode is investigated. This group theoretic perspective of the problem enables the parametrization and identification of their multimode generalization. A simple and efficient method of determining the canonical structure of the generalized correlated states is presented. Implication of canonical commutation relations for correlations are not exhausted by the Heisenberg uncertainty relation, not even by the Schr\"odinger-Robertson uncertainty inequality, but there are relations in the multimode case that are the generalization of the Schr\"odinger-Robertson relation.

On the Squeezed States fornObservables

D. A. Trifonov

Three basic properties (eigenstate, orbit and intelligence) of the canonical squeezed states (SS) are extended to the case of n arbitrary observables. The SS for n observables X i can be constructed as eigenstates of their linear complex combinations or as states which minimize the Robertson uncertainty relation. When X i close a Lie algebra L the generalized SS could also be introduced as orbit of Aut ( L C ). It is shown that for the nilpotent algebra h N the three generalizations are equivalent. For the simple su (1, 1) the family of eigenstates of uK - + vK + ( K ± being lowering and raising operators) is a family of ideal K 1 – K 2 SS, but it cannot be represented as an Aut ( su C (1, 1) orbit although the SU (1, 1) group related coherent states (CS) with symmetry are contained in it. Eigenstates | z, u, v, w ; k ⟩ of general combination of uK - + vK + + wK 3 the three generators K j of SU (1, 1) in the representations with Bargman index k = 1/2, 1, ... , and k = 1/4, 3/4 are constructed and discussed in greater detail. These are ideal SS for K 1,2,3 . In the case of the one mode realization of su (1, 1) the nonclassical properties (sub-Poissonian statistics, quadrature squeezing) of the generalized even CS | z, u, v ; + ⟩ are demonstrated. The states | z, u, v, w ; k = 1/4, 3/4 ⟩ can exhibit strong both linear and quadratic squeezing.

Generalized coherent and squeezed states based on the h(1)⊕su(2) algebra

Nibaldo Alvarez-Moraga, Véronique Hussin

States which minimize the Schrödinger–Robertson uncertainty relation are constructed as eigenstates of an operator which is an element of the h(1)⊕su(2) algebra. The relations with supercoherent and supersqueezed states of the supersymmetric harmonic oscillator are given. Moreover, we are able to compute general Hamiltonians which behave like the harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian or are related to the Jaynes–Cummings Hamiltonian.

Notes on some inequalities, resulting uncertainty relations and correlations

Krzysztof Urbanowski

We analyze the Schwarz inequality and its generalizations, as well as inequalities resulting from the Jensen inequality. They are used in quantum theory to derive the Heisenberg-Robertson (HR) and Schroedinger-Robertson (SR) uncertainty relation for two non-commuting observables and their generalizations to three or more non-commuting observables. Jensen's inequality, in turn, is helpful in deriving various the "sum uncertainty relations" for two or more observables. Using these inequalities, we derive various types of generalized uncertainty relations for more than two non--commuting observables and analyze their properties and critical points. We also study the connections between the generalizations of the HR and SR uncertainty relations for two and more observables and the correlations of these observables in the state of the quantum system under study. In this analysis, we pay special attention to the consequences of the generalized SR uncertainty relation for three non--commuting observables on their correlations in a given state of a quantum system and to the connections of this relation with the appropriate correlation matrix, whose matrix elements are the quantum versions of the Pearson coefficient. We show also that the SR uncertainty relation (including the generalized ones) can be written in an equivalent way using these Pearson coefficients.
