COHERENT STATE MEASURES AND THE EXTENDED DOBIŃSKI RELATIONS

Abstract

Conventional Bell and Stirling numbers arise naturally in the normal ordering of simple monomials in boson operators. By extending this process we obtain generalizations of these combinatorial numbers, defined as coherent state matrix elements of arbitrary monomials, as well as the associated Dobinski relations. These Bell-type numbers may be considered as power moments and give rise to positive measures which allow the explicit construction of new classes of coherent states.

Combinatorics of Boson Normal Ordering: the Dobinski Formula Revisited

K. A. Penson, A. I. Solomon

We derive explicit formulas for the normal ordering of powers of arbitrary monomials of boson operators. These formulas lead to generalisations of conventional Bell and Stirling numbers and to appropriate generalisations of the Dobinski relations. These new combinatorial numbers are shown to be coherent state matrix elements of powers of the monomials in question. It is further demonstrated that such Bell-type numbers, when considered as power moments, give rise to positive measures on the positive half-axis, which in many cases can be written in terms of known functions.

Combinatorics and Boson normal ordering: A gentle introduction

Paweł Błasiak, A. Horzela, K. A. Penson +2 more

We discuss a general combinatorial framework for operator ordering problems by applying it to the normal ordering of the powers and exponential of the boson number operator. The solution of the problem is given in terms of Bell and Stirling numbers enumerating partitions of a set. This framework reveals several inherent relations between ordering problems and combinatorial objects, and displays the analytical background to Wick’s theorem. The methodology can be straightforwardly generalized from the simple example we discuss to a wide class of operators.

Combinatorial coherent states via normal ordering of bosons

Paweł Błasiak, K. A. Penson, A. I. Solomon +2 more

We construct and analyze a family of coherent states built on sequences of integers originating from the solution of the boson normal ordering problem. These sequences generalize the conventional combinatorial Bell numbers and are shown to be moments of positive functions. Consequently, the resulting coherent states automatically satisfy the resolution of unity condition. In addition they display such non-classical fluctuation properties as super-Poissonian statistics and squeezing.

First order coherent Boson states

Reinhard Honegger, Alfred Rieckers

We analyze the first order coherent, states (and various sub-classes) over an arbitrary C*-Weyl algebra. Their normally ordered characteristic functions are expressed in terms of an infinite, positive-definitite matrix, which exhibits an additional positive-definiteness condition if the states are classical. In the latter case the matrix elements are identified as moments of probability measures on C. By going over to measures on bC, the Bohr compactification of C, there arises a Bauer simplex of generalized classical coherent states

COHERENT STATES FROM COMBINATORIAL SEQUENCES

K. A. Penson, A. I. Solomon

We construct coherent states using sequences of combinatorial numbers such as various binomial and trinomial numbers, and Bell and Catalan numbers. We show that these states satisfy the condition of the resolution of unity in a natural way. In each case the positive weight functions are given as solutions of associated Stieltjes or Hausdorff moment problems, where the moments are the combinatorial numbers.
