Newton-Leibniz integration for ket-bra operators (II)—application in deriving density operator and generalized partition function formula

Via the route of applying Newton-Leibniz integration rule to Dirac’s symbolic operators, we show that the density operator e^−βH, where H is multi-mode quadratic interacting boson operators, is a mapping of symplectic transformation in the coherent state representation appearing in the form of non-symmetric ket-bra operator integration. By virtue of the technique of integration within an ordered product (IWOP) of operators, we deduce its normally ordered form which directly leads to the generalized partition function formula and the Wigner function. Some new representations, such as displacement-squeezing correlated squeezed coherent states, constructed by the IWOP technique, also bring convenience in deriving partition functions.     

Newton-Leibniz integration for ket-bra operators in quantum mechanics and derivation of entangled state representations

Newton-Leibniz integration rule only applies to commuting functions of continuum variables, while operators made of Dirac’s symbols (ket versus bra, e.g., |q〉〈q| of continuous parameter q) in quantum mechanics are usually not commutative. Therefore, integrations over the operators of type |〉〈| cannot be directly performed by Newton-Leibniz rule. We invented an innovative technique of integration within an ordered product (IWOP) of operators that made the integration of non-commutative operators possible. The IWOP technique thus bridges this mathematical gap between classical mechanics and quantum mechanics, and further reveals the beauty and elegance of Dirac’s symbolic method and transformation theory. Various applications of the IWOP technique, including constructing the entangled state representations and their applications, are presented.

Newton-Leibniz integration for ket-bra operators (III)—Application in fermionic quantum statistics

The Newton-Leibniz integration over Dirac’s ket-bra operators introduced in Ref. [Hong-yi Fan, Hai-liang Lu, Yue Fan, Ann. Phys. 321 (2006) 480-494] is generalized to Newton-Leibniz-Berezin integration over fermionic ket-bra projection operators, the corresponding technique of integration within an ordered product (IWOP) of Fermi operators is proposed which is then used to develop fermionic quantum statistics. The generalized partition function formula of multi-mode quadratic interacting fermion is derived via the fermionic coherent state representation and the IWOP technique. The two-mode fermionic squeezing operators and their group property studied by their fermionic coherent state representation as well as fermionic permutation operator are also deduced in this way. Thus Dirac’s symbolic method for Fermi system can also be developed, which exhibits Bose-Fermi supersymmetry in this aspect.     

Husimi Functions of Excited Squeezed Vacuum States

Based on the Husimi operator in pure state form introduced by Fan et al., which is a squeezed coherent state projector, and the technique ofintegration within an ordered product (IWOP) of operators, as well as theentangled state representations, we obtain the Husimi functions of theexcited squeezed vacuum states (ESVS) and two marginal distributions of theHusimi functions of the ESVS.

Based on our previously proposed Wigner operator in entangled form,we introduce the generalized Wigner operator for two entangled particles with different masses,which is expected to be positive-definite.This approach is able to convert the generalized Wigner operator into a pure state so that the positivity can be ensured.The technique of integration within an ordered product of operators is used in the discussion.     

Newton-Leibniz integration for ket-bra operators in quantum mechanics (IV)—Integrations within Weyl ordered product of operators and their applications

We show that the technique of integration within normal ordering of operators [Hong-yi Fan, Hai-liang Lu, Yue Fan, Ann. Phys. 321 (2006) 480-494] applied to tackling Newton-Leibniz integration over ket-bra projection operators, can be generalized to the technique of integration within Weyl ordered product (IWWOP) of operators. The Weyl ordering symbol is introduced to find the Wigner operator’s Weyl ordering form Δ(p,q) =  δ(p − P)δ(q − Q) , and to find operators’ Weyl ordered expansion formula. A remarkable property is that Weyl ordering of operators is covariant under similarity transformation, so it has many applications in quantum statistics and signal analysis. Thus the invention of the IWWOP technique promotes the progress of Dirac’s symbolic method.     

New operator identities with regard to the two-variable Hermite polynomial by virtue of entangled state representation

By virtue of the entangled state representation we concisely derive some new operator identities with regard to the two-variable Hermite polynomial （TVHP）. By them and the technique of integration within an ordered product （IWOP） of operators we further derive new generating function formulas of the TVHP. They are useful in quantum optical theoretical calculations. It is seen from this work that by combining the IWOP technique and quantum mechanical representations one can derive some new integration formulas even without really performing the integration.

ABCD rule for Gaussian beam propagation in the context of quantum optics derived by the IWOP technique

The development of technique of integration within an ordered product (IWOP) of operators extends the Newton-Leibniz integration rule, originally applying to permutable functions, to the non-commutative quantum mechanical operators composed of Dirac’s ket-bra, which enables us to obtain the images of directly mapping symplectic transformation in classical phase space parameterized by [A, B; C, D] into quantum mechanical operator through the coherent state representation, we call them the generalized Fresnel operators (GFO) since they correspond to Fresnel transforms in Fourier optics. Based on GFO we find the ABCD rule for Gaussian beam propagation in the context of quantum optics (both in one-mode and two-mode cases) whose classical correspondence is just the ABCD rule in matrix optics. The entangled state representation is used in discussing the two-mode case.

The application of the new form of the smoothed Wigner operator to the coherent state is also presented.

Theor. Phys. 41 （2002） 695], is constructed. Moreover, the Wigner function and phase probability distribution of q-analogue of the squeezed one-photon state are examined.     

Fresnel Operator for Deriving the Propagator of 2D Harmonic Oscillator with Cross Coupling

Using the identity of operator decomposition we obtain a normal ordered form of the time-evolution operator for cross coupling quantum harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian system in two dimensions, which is just a special two-mode Fresnel operator. The Feynman propagator for the Hamiltonian system is found by a direct calculation by means of the method deriving the matrix element of two-mode Fresnel operator in the entangled state representation. The technique of integration within an ordered product (IWOP) of operators is employed to derive the matrix elements of the operator in the coherent state and the entangled state representations.     

Quasiprobability Distribution Functions of Squeezed Pair Coherent States

Using the entangled state representation of Wigner operator and some formulae related to the two-variable Hermite polynomials, the Wigner function of the squeezed pair coherent state (SPCS) and its two marginal distributions are derived. Based on the entangled Husimi operator introduced by Fan et al. (Phys. Lett. A 358:203, 2006) and the Weyl ordering invariance under similar transformations, we also obtain the Husimi function of the SPCS and its marginal distribution functions. The comparison between the two quasibability functions shows that, for the same amount of information included in two functions, the solving process of the Husimi function is simpler than that of the Wigner function.
