Quantum Field Theory with a Minimal Length Induced from Noncommutative Space

From the inspection of noncommutative quantum mechanics, we obtain an approximate equivalent relation for the energy dependence of the Planck constant in the noncommutative space, which means a minimal length of the space. We find that this relation is reasonable and it can inherit the main properties of the noncommutative space. Based on this relation, we derive the modified Klein-Gordon equation and Dirac equation. We investigate the scalar field and φ4 model and then quantum electrodynamics in our theory, and derive the corresponding Feynman rules. These results may be considered as reasonable approximations to those of noncommutative quantum field theory. Our theory also shows a connection between the space with a minimal length and the noncommutative space.     

On the spectra of noncommutative 2D harmonic oscillator

The spectra and wave functions of the 2-dimensional harmonic oscillator in a noncommutative plane are revised by using the path integral formulation in coordinate space and momentum space, respectively. We perform the path integral formulation in coordinate space first. Then we study this problem in momentum space. The propagator is computed both in coordinate space and in momentum space. The modification due to noncommutativity of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions is studied. Both the small and large noncommutative parameter limits are discussed. PACS 11.10.Ef     

Coordinate Eigenstate Representation in Noncommutative Space as a New Entangled State in Quantum Mechanics

For the first time we construct the eigenstate ｜τ〉 of noncommutatlve coordinate. It turns out that｜τ〉 is an entangled state in the ordinary space. Remarkably, its Schmidt decomposition has definite expression in the coordinate representation and the momentum representation. The 〈τ｜ representation can simplify some calculations for obtaining energy level of two-dimensional oscillator in noncommutative space.     

Solution of the Dipoles in Noncommutative Space with Minimal Length *

The single neutral spin-half particle with electric dipole moment and magnetic dipole moment moving in an external electromagnetic field is studied. The Aharonov-Casher effect and He-McKellar-Wilkens effect are emphatically discussed in noncommutative (NC) space with minimal length. The energy eigenvalues of the systems are obtained exactly in terms of the Jacobi polynomials. Additionally, a special case is discussed and the related energy spectra are plotted.     

Constraints in Noncommutative Chern-Simons Mechanics and Hall Effect

We study noncommutative Chern-Simons mechanics and noncommutative Hall effect by Dirac theory in this paper. The magnetic field is introduced by means of minimal coupling. We show that the constraint set will enlarge when a dimensionless parameter takes zero value. In order to illustrate our idea, we study two specific models. One is noncommutative Chern-Simons mechanics which describes a charged particle on a noncommutative plane interacting with a perpendicular uniform magnetic field. The other is a charged particle on a noncommutative plane with a background uniform electromagnetic field. We show that when the dimensionless parameter tends to zero, the particle will live in a lower dimensional space in both models. Noncommutative Chern-Simons mechanics will reduce to a harmonic oscillator and the classical equations of motion of a charged particle in the background of a uniform electromagnetic field are governed by classical Hall law when the dimensionless parameter tends to zero.     

Composite system in noncommutative space and the equivalence principle

The motion of a composite system made of N particles is examined in a space with a canonical noncommutative algebra of coordinates. It is found that the coordinates of the center-of-mass position satisfy noncommutative algebra with effective parameter. Therefore, the upper bound of the parameter of noncommutativity is re-examined. We conclude that the weak equivalence principle is violated in the case of a non-uniform gravitational field and propose the condition for the recovery of this principle in noncommutative space. Furthermore, the same condition is derived from the independence of kinetic energy on the composition.     

Effects of Spatial Noncommutativity on Energy Spectrum of a Trapped Bose-Einstein Condensate

In noncommutative space, we examine the problem of a noninteracting and harmonically trapped Bose- Einstein condensate, and derive a simple analytic expression for the effect of spatial noncommutatlvity on energy spectrum of the condensate, it indicates that the ground-state energy incorporating the spatial noncommutativity is reduced to a lower level, which depends upon the noncommutativity parameter 8. The gap between the noncommutative space and commutative one for the ground-state level of the condensate should be a signal of spatial noncommutativity.     

Noncommutative coordinate picture of the quantum phase space

We illustrate an isomorphic representation of the observable algebra for quantum mechanics in terms of the functions on the projective Hilbert space, and its Hilbert space analog, with a noncommutative product in terms of explicit coordinates and discuss the physical and dynamical picture. The isomorphism is then used as a base for the translation of the differential symplectic geometry of the infinite dimensional manifolds onto the observable algebra as a noncommutative geometry. Hence, we obtain the latter from the physical theory itself. We have essentially an extended formalism of the Schr̎odinger versus Heisenberg picture which we describe mathematically as like a coordinate map from the phase space, for which we have presented argument to be seen as the quantum model of the physical space, to the noncommutative geometry coordinated by the six position and momentum operators. The observable algebra is taken essentially as an algebra of formal functions on the latter operators. The work formulates the intuitive idea that the noncommutative geometry can be seen as an alternative, noncommutative coordinate, picture of familiar quantum phase space, at least so long as the symplectic geometry is concerned.     

2+1 Dimensional Noncommutative Dirac Oscillator and (Anti)-Jaynes-Cummings Models

We study Dirac oscillator in 2+1 dimensional noncommutative space. The model is solved exactly and the relationship with Jaynes-Cummings (JC) or anti-Jaynes-Cummings (AJC) models are investigated. We find that for a positive noncommutative parameter, there is an exact map from the 2+1 dimensional noncommutative Dirac oscillator to AJC model. However, for a negative noncommutative parameter, the noncommutative planar Dirac oscillator contains both AJC and JC terms simultaneously. Our investigation may afford a new way to study relativistic quantum mechanics models in noncommutative space by means of quantum optics method, and vice verse.     

Noncommutative Geometrical Structures of Multi-Qubit Entangled States

We study the noncommutative geometrical structures of quantum entangled states. We show that the space of a pure entangled state is a noncommutative space. In particular we show that by rewriting the coordinate ring of a conifold or the Segre variety we can get a q-deformed relation in noncommutative geometry. We generalized our construction into a multi-qubit state. We also in detail discuss the noncommutative geometrical structure of a three-qubit state.     

A Relation of the Noncommutative Parameters in Generalized Noncommutative Phase Space

We introduce the deformed boson operators which satisfy a deformed boson algebra in some special types of generalized noncommutative phase space.Based on the deformed boson algebra,we construct coherent state representations.We calculate the variances of the coordinate operators on the coherent states and investigate the corresponding Heisenberg uncertainty relations.It is found that there are some restriction relations of the noncommutative parameters in these special types of noncommutative phase space.     

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.     

Thermodynamics of a Charged Particle in a Noncommutative Plane in a Background Magnetic Field

Landau system in noncommutative space has been considered. To take into account the issue of gauge invariance in noncommutative space, we incorporate the Seiberg-Witten map in our analysis. Generalised Bopp-shift transformation is then used to map the noncommutative system to its commutative equivalent system. In particular we have computed the partition function of the system and from this we obtained the susceptibility of the Landau system and found that the result gets modified by the spatial noncommutative parameter θ. We also investigate the de Hass–van Alphen effect in noncommutative space and observe that the oscillation of the magnetization and the susceptibility gets noncommutative corrections. Interestingly, the susceptibility in the noncommutative scenario is non-zero in the range of the magnetic field greater than the threshold value which is in contrast to its commutative counterpart. The results obtained are valid upto all orders in the noncommutative parameter θ.     

Noncommutative Singular Black Holes

In this paper, applying the method of coordinate coherent states to describe a noncommutative model of Vaidya black holes leads to an exact (t - r) dependence of solution in terms of the noncommutative parameter σ. In this setup, there is no black hole remnant at long times.     

非对易相空间中的狄拉克振子的能级和Wigner函数

非对易几何、弦论和圈量子引力理论的发展,使非对易空间受到越来越多的关注.非对易量子理论不同于平常的量子理论,它是弦尺度下的特殊的物理效应,处理非对易量子力学问题需要特殊方法.本文首先介绍了Moyal方程与Wigner函数,利用Moyal-Weyl乘法与Bopp变换将H(x,p)变换成^H(^x,^p),考虑坐标—坐标、动量—动量的非对易性,实现对非对易相空间中星乘本征方程的求解.并利用非对易相空间量子力学的代数关系,讨论了非对易相空间中狄拉克振子的Wigner函数和能级,研究结果发现非对易相空间中狄拉克振子的能级明显依赖于非对易参数.     

Lie algebra type noncommutative phase spaces are Hopf algebroids

For a noncommutative configuration space whose coordinate algebra is the universal enveloping algebra of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra, it is known how to introduce an extension playing the role of the corresponding noncommutative phase space, namely by adding the commuting deformed derivatives in a consistent and nontrivial way; therefore, obtaining certain deformed Heisenberg algebra. This algebra has been studied in physical contexts, mainly in the case of the kappa-Minkowski space-time. Here, we equip the entire phase space algebra with a coproduct, so that it becomes an instance of a completed variant of a Hopf algebroid over a noncommutative base, where the base is the enveloping algebra.     

Hydrogen atom spectrum and the lamb shift in noncommutative QED

We have calculated the energy levels of the hydrogen atom as well as the Lamb shift within the noncommutative quantum electrodynamics theory. The results show deviations from the usual QED both on the classical and the quantum levels. On both levels, the deviations depend on the parameter of space/space noncommutativity.     

Resonance Interaction Energy in κ-Minkowski Spacetime

If gravity is quantized, one of the consequences may be that the spacetime coordinates are quantized and become noncommutative. The κ-Minkowski spacetime is such kind of noncommutative spacetime. In this paper, the resonance interaction energy of a two-atom system coupled with a fluctuating vacuum scalar field in the κ-Minkowski spacetime is studied. It is found that the resonance interaction energy is dependent on the interatomic separation, the transition wavelength of the atoms, and the spacetime non-commutativity. When the interatomic separation is small compared with a characteristic length determined by the spacetime non-commutativity parameter and the transition wavelength, the resonance interaction energy is that in the Minkowski spacetime plus a correction due to the spacetime non-commutativity. When the interatomic separation is comparable to or larger than the characteristic length, the resonance interaction energy cannot be organized in the form of a Minkowski term plus a correction, which indicates that the long-range behavior of the vacuum in the κ-Minkowski spacetime is fundamentally different from that in the Minkowski spacetime.     

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.     

Hydrogen atom in rotationally invariant noncommutative space

We consider the noncommutative algebra which is rotationally invariant. The hydrogen atom is studied in a rotationally invariant noncommutative space. We find the corrections to the energy levels of the hydrogen atom up to the second order in the parameter of noncommutativity. The upper bound of the parameter of noncommutativity is estimated on the basis of the experimental results for 1s–2s$1s\text{–}2s$ transition frequency.
