Quantum Damped Oscillator in Probability Representation

The probability distribution describing quantum states of the damped oscillator in the framework of the Caldirola-Kanai model is introduced. The probability distributions for coherent states and Fock states of the damped oscillator are found explicitly. The transition probability for the damped oscillator is expressed in terms of distributions describing initial and final states.     

Entangled Qubit States and Linear Entropy in the Probability Representation of Quantum Mechanics

The superposition states of two qubits including entangled Bell states are considered in the probability representation of quantum mechanics. The superposition principle formulated in terms of the nonlinear addition rule of the state density matrices is formulated as a nonlinear addition rule of the probability distributions describing the qubit states. The generalization of the entanglement properties to the case of superposition of two-mode oscillator states is discussed using the probability representation of quantum states.     

Probability Representation of Quantum States

The review of new formulation of conventional quantum mechanics where the quantum states are identified with probability distributions is presented. The invertible map of density operators and wave functions onto the probability distributions describing the quantum states in quantum mechanics is constructed both for systems with continuous variables and systems with discrete variables by using the Born’s rule and recently suggested method of dequantizer–quantizer operators. Examples of discussed probability representations of qubits (spin-1/2, two-level atoms), harmonic oscillator and free particle are studied in detail. Schrödinger and von Neumann equations, as well as equations for the evolution of open systems, are written in the form of linear classical–like equations for the probability distributions determining the quantum system states. Relations to phase–space representation of quantum states (Wigner functions) with quantum tomography and classical mechanics are elucidated.     

Unitary and Nonunitary Evolution of Qubit States in Probability Representation of Quantum Mechanics

Review of the probability representation of qubit states and observables is presented as well as the picture of states of two-level systems in terms of Triada of Malevich’s squares. A new relation of introduced probability parameters is obtained. Also, it is offered a method to visualize the quantum channel’s maps of qubit states. Evolution of the two-level system is considered in terms of Triada of Malevich’s squares in case of Rabi and Demkov models.

     

A Charged Particle in an Electric Field in the Probability Representation of Quantum Mechanics

The Green's function and linear integrals of motion for a charged particle moving in an electric field are discussed. The Wigner functions and tomograms of the stationary states of the charged particle are obtained. The relationship between the quantum propagators for the Schrödinger evolution equation, the Moyal evolution equation, and the evolution equation in the tomographic-probability representation for a charged particle moving in an electric field is discussed.     

Probability Representation of Quantum Observables and Quantum States

We introduce the probability distributions describing quantum observables in conventional quantum mechanics and clarify their relations to the tomographic probability distributions describing quantum states. We derive the evolution equation for quantum observables (Heisenberg equation) in the probability representation and give examples of the spin-1/2 (qubit) states and the spin observables. We present quantum channels for qubits in the probability representation.     

Observables,Evolution Equation,and Stationary States Equation in the Joint Probability Representation of Quantum Mechanics

Symplectic and optical joint probability representations of quantum mechanics are considered, in which the functions describing the states are the probability distributions with all random arguments (except the argument of time). The general formalism of quantizers and dequantizers determining the star product quantization scheme in these representations is given. Taking the Gaussian functions as the distributions of the tomographic parameters the correspondence rules for most interesting physical operators are found and the expressions of the dual symbols of operators in the form of singular and regular generalized functions are derived. Evolution equations and stationary states equations for symplectic and optical joint probability distributions are obtained.

Quantum Mechanics and Imprecise Probability

An extension of the Born rule, the quantum typicality rule, has recently been proposed [B. Galvan in Found. Phys. 37:1540–1562 (2007)]. Roughly speaking, this rule states that if the wave function of a particle is split into non-overlapping wave packets, the particle stays approximately inside the support of one of the wave packets, without jumping to the others. In this paper a formal definition of this rule is given in terms of imprecise probability. An imprecise probability space is a measurable space endowed with a set of probability measures ℘. The quantum formalism and the quantum typicality rule allow us to define a set of probabilities on (X ^T ,ℱ), where X is the configuration space of a quantum system, T is a time interval and ℱ is the σ-algebra generated by the cylinder sets. Thus, it is proposed that a quantum system can be represented as the imprecise stochastic process , which is a canonical stochastic process in which the single probability measure is replaced by a set of measures. It is argued that this mathematical model, when used to represent macroscopic systems, has sufficient predictive power to explain both the results of the statistical experiments and the quasi-classical structure of the macroscopic evolution.

Probability Representation of Classical States

Probability representation of classical states described by symplectic tomograms is discussed. Tomographic symbols of classical observables which are functions on phase-space are studied. Explicit form of kernel of commutative star-product of the tomographic symbols is obtained.     

Return Probability of Quantum and Correlated Random Walks

The analysis of the return probability is one of the most essential and fundamental topics in the study of classical random walks. In this paper, we study the return probability of quantum and correlated random walks in the one-dimensional integer lattice by the path counting method. We show that the return probability of both quantum and correlated random walks can be expressed in terms of the Legendre polynomial. Moreover, the generating function of the return probability can be written in terms of elliptic integrals of the first and second kinds for the quantum walk.     

Bound State of a Particle in the Dirac Delta Potential in the Tomographic-Probability Representation of Quantum Mechanics

We study the problem of a quantum particle moving in the Dirac delta potential with instant changes in the well depth using the formalism of the tomographic-probability representation of quantum mechanics. The bound-state tomogram is given in terms of the error function. We calculate the ionization probability induced by an instant change in the delta-potential parameter in terms of an integral containing the state tomograms. Also we express the probability of ionization through the Wigner function.
