Noncommuting Coordinates in the Landau Problem

Gabrielle Magro

Published Jan 31, 2003• 13 citations
arXivHTMLPDF

Abstract

Basic ideas about noncommuting coordinates are summarized, and then coordinate noncommutativity, as it arises in the Landau problem, is investigated. I review a quantum solution to the Landau problem, and evaluate the coordinate commutator in a truncated state space of Landau levels. Restriction to the lowest Landau level reproduces the well known commutator of planar coordinates. Inclusion of a finite number of Landau levels yields a matrix generalization.

A NOVEL APPROACH TO NONCOMMUTATIVITY IN PLANAR QUANTUM MECHANICS

RABIN BANERJEE

Noncommutative algebra in planar quantum mechanics is shown to follow from 't Hooft's recent analysis on dissipation and quantization. The noncommutativity in the coordinates or in the momenta of a charged particle in a magnetic field with an oscillator potential is shown as dual description of the same phenomenon. Finally, noncommutativity in a fluid dynamical model, analogous to the lowest Landau level problem, is discussed.

WIGNER FUNCTIONS FOR THE LANDAU PROBLEM IN NONCOMMUTATIVE SPACES

Omer Faruk Dayi, LARA T. KELLEYANE

An electron moving on plane in a uniform magnetic field orthogonal to the plane is known as the Landau problem. Wigner functions for the Landau problem when the plane is noncommutative are found employing solutions of the Schrödinger equation as well as solving the ordinary ⋆-genvalue equation in terms of an effective Hamiltonian. Then, we let momenta and coordinates of the phase space be noncommutative and introduce a generalized ⋆-genvalue equation. We solve this equation to find the related Wigner functions and show that under an appropriate choice of noncommutativity relations they are independent of noncommutativity parameter.

Noncommutative quantum mechanics

H. O. Girotti

We discuss the main features of noncommutative quantum mechanics, a version of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics that involves noncommuting coordinates. After finding a representation for the algebra obeyed by the coordinates and momenta, we analyze the changes due to the noncommutative nature of the coordinates. The noncommutative two-dimensional harmonic oscillator is discussed in detail. Under certain restrictions, the effect of the noncommutativity is found to be equivalent to a Landau interaction. The modifications produced by the noncommutativity on the thermodynamic functions of the oscillator also are studied.

With great significance in describing the state of quantum system,the Wigner function of the spin half non-commutative Landau problem is studied in this paper.On the basis of the review of the Wigner function in the commutative space,which is subject to the *-eigenvalue equation,Hamiltonian of the spin half Landau problem in the non-commutative phase space is given.Then,energy levels and Wigner functions in the form of a matrix of the spin half Landau problem in the non-commutative phase space are obtained by means of the *-eigenvalue equation(or Moyal equation).
