Abstract

For the creation operator a†and the annihilation operator a of a harmonic oscillator, we consider Weyl ordering expression of (a†a)nand obtain a new symmetric expression of Weyl ordering w.r.t. a†a≡N and aa†=N+1 where N is the number operator. Moreover, we interpret intertwining formulas of various orderings in view of the difference theory. Then we find that the noncommutative parameter corresponds to the increment of the difference operator w.r.t. variable N. Therefore, quantum (noncommutative) calculations of harmonic oscillators are done by classical (commutative) ones of the number operator by using the difference theory. As a by-product, nontrivial relations including the Stirling number of the first kind are also obtained.

Orderings of Operators in Quantum Physics

Kazuyuki Fujii, Tatsuo Suzuki

For well-known three orderings (normal ordering, anti-normal ordering, and Weyl ordering) in Quantum Physics, we give a simple proof for the intertwining formulas among them. Moreover, for the creation operator a † and the annihilation operator a of a harmonic oscillator, we show Weyl ordering expression of (a † a) n as different types of polynomials with respect to the number operator N ≡ a † a. Nontrivial relations including the Stirling number of the first kind are also obtained. 1

Normal and anti-normal ordered expressions for annihilation and creation operators

Vargas-Martínez, J. M., H. M. Moya-Cessa

We give the normal and anti-normal order expressions of the number operator to the power $k$ by using the commutation relation between the annihilation and creation operators. We use those expressions to give general formulae for functions of the number operator in normal and anti-normal order.

SUq(1,1) and the relativistic oscillator

R. M. Mir‐Kasimov

It is shown that the generalization of the quantum harmonic oscillator to the case of the relativistic configurational space is a q-oscillator. The corresponding group of dynamical symmetry is the quantum group SUq(1,1). The deformation parameter being q=e- omega omega 0/ where omega 0=4mc2 and omega is a frequency of the oscillator. The deformed creation and annihilation operators are finite difference ones. The corresponding deformation of the Heisenberg-Weyl group and new coherent states are also considered.

Canonical Operators for the Simple Harmonic Oscillator

Boris Leaf

Angle and action operators (w, j) for the simple harmonic oscillator are treated as resulting from a canonical transformation of coordinate and momentum operators (q, k) generated by a one-sided unitary operator U such that U†U = 1 and UU† commutes with k but not with q. From the discrete spectrum of the number operator n, eigenvectors |η〉 are constructed for every real value of η; the set {|η〉} is complete and orthogonal. Another complete set {|W〉} is obtained, consisting of the Fourier transforms of the kets in the set {|η〉}. The angle operator is w=U†qU=∫dW |W〉 W 〈W|. The set {|W〉} is not orthogonal; |W〉 is not an eigenvector of w. If v is defined as ∫dW|W〉exp (−2πiW) 〈W|, then the creation and destruction operators are given by a = vn½, a† = n½v†. v is a one-sided unitary operator such that vv† = 1, but v†v = 1 − |0〉 〈0|, where |0〉 is the ground state of the oscillator; v and v† are similar to the operators E- and E+ of Carruthers and Nieto. The Weyl transforms of w and j = 2πℏ(n + ½1) are the classical angle and action variables of the oscillator. The Weyl transform is formulated in terms of the coherent states of the oscillator. A time operator canonical to the Hamiltonian is defined as t = 2πw/ω (ω/2π = frequency). The observables for the oscillator are also given in the Heisenberg picture and their classical limits are considered.

Deformed Oscillators with Interaction

O. Batsevych

Deformation of the Heisenberg-Weyl algebra W s of creation-annihilation operators is studied and the problem of eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian for s deformed oscillators with interaction is solved within this algebra. At first, types of deformation are found for which solutions could be presented analytically and a simple q−deformation is considered by the means of the perturbation theory. Cases of reducing Hamiltonians which do not preserve the total particle number to that studied here are indicated. Investigations of new types of symmetries in different areas of mathematical physics by using the Inverse Scattering Method (ISM) and nonlinear differential equations, led to the appearance of notions ”Quantum Group”, ”Quantum Algebra” [1]. Nowadays, the deformed quantum statistics, parastatistics and corresponding algebras of creation-annihilation operators are widely studied. The common Heisenberg-Weyl algebra W s consists of generators ai, a + , ni, i =1 ,...,s ,

New Creation and Annihilation Operators in Phase Space

A. D. Jannussis, N. Patargias, G. N. Brodimas

New creation and annihilation operators of the harmonic oscillator in the phase space are considered. The common base of these operators is a generalized Wigner distribution and their coherent states are determined. Using these operators Weyl's displacement operators and Bopp's translation operators are also determined.
