A new kind of representations on noncommutative phase space

We introduce new representations to formulate quantum mechanics on noncommutative phase space, in which both coordinate-coordinate and momentum-momentum are noncommutative. These representations explicitly display entanglement properties between degrees of freedom of different coordinate and momentum components. To show their potential applications, we derive explicit expressions of Wigner function and Wigner operator in the new representations, as well as solve exactly a two-dimensional harmonic oscillator on the noncommutative phase plane with both kinetic coupling and elastic coupling.     

A New Type of Seiberg-Witten Map and Its Application

Deformation quantization is a powerful tool to deal with systems in noncommutative space to get their energy spectra and corresponding Wigner functions, especially for the case of both coordinates and momenta being noncommutative. In order to simplify solutions of the relevant *-genvalue equation, we introduce a new kind of Seiberg-Witten-like map to change the variables of the noncommutative phase space into ones of a commutative phase space, and demonstrate its role via an example of two-dimensional oscillator with both kinetic and elastic couplings in the noncommutative phase space.

Wigner Functions for Non-Hamiltonian Systems on Noncommutative Space

We propose a modified form of Wigner functions for generic non-Hamiltonian systems on noncommutative space and prove that it satisfies the corresponding ＊-genvalue equation. In addition, as an example, we derive exact energy spectra and Wigner functions for a non-Hamiltonian toy model on the noncommutative space.     

Wigner Measures in Noncommutative Quantum Mechanics

We study the properties of quasi-distributions or Wigner measures in the context of noncommutative quantum mechanics. In particular, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for a phase-space function to be a noncommutative Wigner measure, for a Gaussian to be a noncommutative Wigner measure, and derive certain properties of the marginal distributions which are not shared by ordinary Wigner measures. Moreover, we derive the Robertson-Schrödinger uncertainty principle. Finally, we show explicitly how the set of noncommutative Wigner measures relates to the sets of Liouville and (commutative) Wigner measures.     

Wigner Function for Klein--Gordon Landau Problem

First we calculate the Wigner phase-space distribution function for the Klein-Gordan Landau problem on a commmutative space. Then we study the modifications introduced by the coordinate-coordinate noncommuting and momentum-momentum noncommuting, namely, by using a generalized Bopp's shift method we construct the Wigner function for the Klein-Gordan Landau problem both on a noncommutative space (NCS) and a noncommutative phase space (NCPS).

Admissible states in quantum phase space

We address the question of which phase space functionals might represent a quantum state. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for both pure and mixed phase space quantum states. From the pure state quantum condition we obtain a formula for the momentum correlations of arbitrary order and derive explicit expressions for the wave functions in terms of time-dependent and independent Wigner functions. We show that the pure state quantum condition is preserved by the Moyal (but not by the classical Liouville) time evolution and is consistent with a generic stargenvalue equation. As a by-product Baker's converse construction is generalized both to an arbitrary stargenvalue equation, associated to a generic phase space symbol, as well as to the time-dependent case. These results are properly extended to the mixed state quantum condition, which is proved to imply the Heisenberg uncertainty relations. Globally, this formalism yields the complete characterization of the kinematical structure of Wigner quantum mechanics. The previous results are then succinctly generalized for various quasi-distributions. Finally, the formalism is illustrated through the simple examples of the harmonic oscillator and the free Gaussian wave packet. As a by-product, we obtain in the former example an integral representation of the Hermite polynomials.     

Wigner function for the Dirac oscillator in spinor space

The Wigner function for the Dirac oscillator in spinor space is studied in this paper. Firstly, since the Dirac equation is described as a matrix equation in phase space, it is necessary to define the Wigner function as a matrix function in spinor space. Secondly, the matrix form of the Wigner function is proven to support the Dirac equation. Thirdly, by solving the Dirac equation, energy levels and the Wigner function for the Dirac oscillator in spinor space are obtained.

The ⋆-value equation and Wigner distributions in noncommutative Heisenberg algebras

We consider the quantum mechanical equivalence of the Seiberg-Witten map in the context of the Weyl-Wigner-Groenewold-Moyal phase-space formalism in order to construct a quantum mechanics over noncommutative Heisenberg algebras. The formalism is then applied to the exactly soluble Landau and harmonic oscillator problems in the 2-dimensional noncommutative phase-space plane, in order to derive their correct energy spectra and corresponding Wigner distributions. We compare our results with others that have previously appeared in the literature.Dedicated to Mike Ryan on his sixtieth birthday, who as a scientist always understood that it is nice to be good, but that it is better to be nice.     

Tunneling of an energy eigenstate through a parabolic barrier viewed from Wigner phase space

We analyze the tunneling of a particle through a repulsive potential resulting from an inverted harmonic oscillator in the quantum mechanical phase space described by the Wigner function. In particular, we solve the partial differential equations in phase space determining the Wigner function of an energy eigenstate of the inverted oscillator. The reflection or transmission coefficients R or T are then given by the total weight of all classical phase-space trajectories corresponding to energies below, or above the top of the barrier given by the Wigner function.     

The Harmonic Oscillator Influenced by Gravitational Wave in Noncommutative Quantum Phase Space

Dynamical property of harmonic oscillator affected by linearized gravitational wave (LGW) is studied in a particular case of both position and momentum operators which are noncommutative to each other. By using the generalized Bopp’s shift, we, at first, derived the Hamiltonian in the noncommutative phase space (NPS) and, then, calculated the time evolution of coordinate and momentum operators in the Heisenberg representation. Tiny vibration of flat Minkowski space and effect of NPS let the Hamiltonian of harmonic oscillator, moving in the plain, get new extra terms from it’s original and noncommutative space partner. At the end, for simplicity, we take the general form of the LGW into gravitational plain wave, obtain the explicit expression of coordinate and momentum operators.

Exact master equation for a noncommutative Brownian particle

We derive the Hu-Paz-Zhang master equation for a Brownian particle linearly coupled to a bath of harmonic oscillators on the plane with spatial noncommutativity. The results obtained are exact to all orders in the noncommutative parameter. As a by-product we derive some miscellaneous results such as the equilibrium Wigner distribution for the reservoir of noncommutative oscillators, the weak coupling limit of the master equation and a set of sufficient conditions for strict purity decrease of the Brownian particle. Finally, we consider a high-temperature Ohmic model and obtain an estimate for the time scale of the transition from noncommutative to ordinary quantum mechanics. This scale is considerably smaller than the decoherence scale.

Deformed Schrödinger symmetry on noncommutative space

We construct the deformed generators of Schrödinger symmetry consistent with noncommutative space. The examples of the free particle and the harmonic oscillator, both of which admit Schrödinger symmetry, are discussed in detail. We construct a generalised Galilean algebra where the second central extension exists in all dimensions. This algebra also follows from the Inonu–Wigner contraction of a generalised Poincaré algebra in noncommuting space.     

Klein-Gordon Oscillator in Noncommutative Phase Space Under a Uniform Magnetic Field

Using a direct substitution method, Klein-Gordon oscillator in a uniform magnetic field is researched in the noncommutative phase space (NCPS), the corresponding exact energy is obtained, and the analytic eigenfunction is presented in terms of the confluent hypergeometric. It is shown that the Klein-Gordon oscillator in uniform magnetic field in noncommutative phase space has the similar behaviors to the Landau problem in commutative space. In addition, the non-relativistic limit of the energy spectrum is obtained.
