Non-relativistic Schroedinger theory on q-deformed quantum spaces II, The free non-relativistic particle and its interactions

Abstract

This is the second part of a paper about a q-deformed analog of non-relativistic Schroedinger theory. It applies the general ideas of part I and tries to give a description of one-particle states on q-deformed quantum spaces like the braided line or the q-deformed Euclidean space in three dimensions. Hamiltonian operators for the free q-deformed particle in one as well as three dimensions are introduced. Plane waves as solutions to the corresponding Schroedinger equations are considered. Their completeness and orthonormality relations are written down. Expectation values of position and momentum observables are taken with respect to one-particle states and their time-dependence is discussed. A potential is added to the free-particle Hamiltonians and q-analogs of the Ehrenfest theorem are derived from the Heisenberg equations of motion. The conservation of probability is proved.

Non-relativistic Schroedinger theory on q-deformed quantum spaces III, Scattering theory

Hartmut Wachter

This is the third part of a paper about non-relativistic Schroedinger theory on q-deformed quantum spaces like the braided line or the three-dimensional q-deformed Euclidean space. Propagators for the free q-deformed particle are derived and their basic properties are discussed. A time-dependent formulation of scattering is proposed. In this respect, q-analogs of the Lippmann-Schwinger equation are given. Expressions for their iterative solutions are written down. It is shown how to calculate S-matrices and transition probabilities. Furthermore, attention is focused on the question what becomes of unitarity of S-matrices in a q-deformed setting. The examinations are concluded by a discussion of the interaction picture and its relation to scattering processes.

Non-relativistic Schroedinger theory on q-deformed quantum spaces I, Mathematical framework and equations of motion

Hartmut Wachter

The aim of these three papers (I, II, and III) is to develop a q-deformed version of non-relativistic Schroedinger theory. Paper I introduces the fundamental mathematical and physical concepts. The braided line and the three-dimensional q-deformed Euclidean space play the role of position space. For both cases the algebraic framework is extended by a time element. A short review of the elements of q-deformed analysis on the spaces under consideration is given. The time evolution operator is introduced in a consistent way and its basic properties are discussed. These reasonings are continued by proposing q-deformed analogs of the Schroedinger and the Heisenberg picture.

Schr\"odinger field on the q-deformed Euclidean quantum space

Hartmut Wachter

We consider time-dependent Schr\odinger equations for a free non-relativistic particle on the q-deformed Euclidean quantum space. We determine plane wave solutions to these Schr\odinger equations and show that they form a complete orthonormal system. We can write down expressions for propagators of a non-relativistic particle with our q-deformed plane wave solutions. Considerations about expectation values for the position or momentum of a non-relativistic particle conclude our studies.

Quantum kinematics on q-deformed quantum spaces II, Wave functions on position and momentum space

Hartmut Wachter

The aim of Part II of this paper is to try to describe wave functions on q-deformed versions of position and momentum space. This task is done within the framework developed in Part I of the paper. In order to make Part II self-contained the most important results of Part I are reviewed. Then it is shown that q-deformed exponentials and q-deformed delta functions play the role of momentum and position eigenfunctions, respectively. Their completeness and orthonormality relations are derived. For both bases of eigenfunctions matrix elements of position and momentum operators are calculated. A q-deformed version of the spectral decomposition of multiplication operators is discussed and q-analogs of Heaviside functions are proposed. Interpreting the results from the point of view provided by the concept of quasipoints gives the formalism a physical meaning. The definition of expectation values and the calculation of probability densities are explained in detail. Finally, it is outlined how the considerations so far carry over to antisymmetrized spaces.

A Nonlinear $q$-Deformed Schrödinger Equation

M. A. Rego-Monteiro, E. M. F. Curado

We construct a new nonlinear deformed Schrödinger structure using a nonlinear derivative operator which depends on a parameter $q$. This operator recovers Newton derivative when $q \rightarrow 1$. Using this operator we propose a deformed Lagrangian which gives us a deformed nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a nonlinear kinetic energy term and a standard potential $V(\vec{x})$. We analytically solve the nonlinear deformed Schrödinger equation for $V(\vec{x}) = 0$ and $q \simeq1$. This model has a continuity equation, the energy is conserved, as well as the momentum and also interacts with electromagnetic field. Planck relation remains valid and in all steps we easily recover the undeformed quantities when the deformation parameter goes to 1. Finally, we numerically solve the equation of motion for the free particle in any spatial dimension, which shows a solitonic pattern when the space is equal to one for particular values of $q$.

A Nonlinear qqq-Deformed Schrödinger Equation
We construct a new nonlinear deformed Schrödinger structure using a nonlinear derivative operator which depends on a parameter qqq. This operator recovers Newton derivative when q→1q \rightarrow 1q→1. Using this operator we propose a deformed Lagrangian which gives us a deformed nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a nonlinear kinetic energy term and a standard potential V(x⃗)V(\vec{x})V(x). We analytically solve the nonlinear deformed Schrödinger equation for V(x⃗)=0V(\vec{x}) = 0V(x)=0 and q≃1q \simeq1q≃1. This model has a continuity equation, the energy is conserved, as well as the momentum and also interacts with electromagnetic field. Planck relation remains valid and in all steps we easily recover the undeformed quantities when the deformation parameter goes to 1. Finally, we numerically solve the equation of motion for the free particle in any spatial dimension, which shows a solitonic pattern when the space is equal to one for particular values of qqq.
