Polynomial poisson algebras for two-dimensional classical superintegrable systems and polynomial associative algebras for quantum superintegrable systems

The integrals of motion of the classical two-dimensional superintegrable systems close in a restrained polynomial Poisson algebra, whose general form is discussed. Each classical superintegrable problem has a quantum counterpart, a quantum superintegrable system. The polynomial Poisson algebra is deformed to a polynomial associative algebra, the finite-dimensional representations of this algebra are calculated by using a deformed parafermion oscillator technique. It is conjectured that the finite-dimensional representations of the polynomial algebra are determined by the energy eigenvalues of the superintegrable system. The calculation of energy eigenvalues is reduced to the solution of algebraic equations, which are universal for a large number of two-dimensional superintegrable systems.

The quantum harmonic oscillator on the sphere and the hyperbolic plane

A nonlinear model of the quantum harmonic oscillator on two-dimensional space of constant curvature is exactly solved. This model depends on a parameter λ that is related with the curvature of the space. First, the relation with other approaches is discussed and then the classical system is quantized by analyzing the symmetries of the metric (Killing vectors), obtaining a λ-dependent invariant measure dμ_λ and expressing the Hamiltonian as a function of the Noether momenta. In the second part, the quantum superintegrability of the Hamiltonian and the multiple separability of the Schrödinger equation is studied. Two λ-dependent Sturm-Liouville problems, related with two different λ-deformations of the Hermite equation, are obtained. This leads to the study of two λ-dependent families of orthogonal polynomials both related with the Hermite polynomials. Finally the wave functions Ψ_m,n and the energies E_m,n of the bound states are exactly obtained in both the sphere S² and the hyperbolic plane H².     

Models of quadratic quantum algebras and their relation to classical superintegrable systems

We show how to construct realizations (models) of quadratic algebras for 2D second order superintegrable systems in terms of differential or difference operators in one variable. We demonstrate how various models of the quantum algebras arise naturally from models of the Poisson algebras for the corresponding classical superintegrable system. These techniques extend to quadratic algebras related to superintegrable systems in n dimensions and are intimately related to multivariable orthogonal polynomials. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

Deformed oscillator algebra for quantum superintegrable systems in two-dimensional Euclidean space and on a complex two-sphere

In this work,we study superintegrable quantum systems in two-dimensional Euclidean space and on a complex twosphere with second-order constants of motion.We show that these constants of motion satisfy the deformed oscillator algebra.Then,we easily calculate the energy eigenvalues in an algebraic way by solving of a system of two equations satisfied by its structure function.The results are in agreement to the ones obtained from the solution of the relevant Schrdinger equation.     

Braided differential operators on quantum algebras

We propose a general scheme of constructing braided differential algebras via algebras of “quantum exponentiated vector fields” and those of “quantum functions”. We treat a reflection equation algebra as a quantum analog of the algebra of vector fields. The role of a quantum function algebra is played by a general quantum matrix algebra. As an example we mention the so-called RTT algebra of quantized functions on the linear matrix group GL(m)$GL\left(m\right)$. In this case our construction essentially coincides with the quantum differential algebra introduced by S. Woronowicz. If the role of a quantum function algebra is played by another copy of the reflection equation algebra we get two different braided differential algebras. One of them is defined via a quantum analog of (co)adjoint vector fields, the other algebra is defined via a quantum analog of right-invariant vector fields. We show that the former algebra can be identified with a subalgebra of the latter one. Also, we show that “quantum adjoint vector fields” can be restricted to the so-called “braided orbits” which are counterparts of generic GL(m)$GL\left(m\right)$-orbits in gl^∗(m)$g{l}^{\ast }\left(m\right)$. Such braided orbits endowed with these restricted vector fields constitute a new class of braided differential algebras.     

The parts determine the whole in a generic pure quantum state

We show that almost every pure state of multiparty quantum systems (each of whose local Hilbert space has the same dimension) is completely determined by the state's reduced density matrices of a fraction of the parties; this fraction is less than about two-thirds of the parties for states of large numbers of parties. In other words, once the reduced states of this fraction of the parties have been specified, there is no further freedom in the state.     

The origin of the algebra of quantum operators in the stochastic formulation of quantum mechanics

The origin of the algebra of the non-commuting operators of quantum mechanics is explained in the general Fényes-Nelson stochastic models in which the diffusion constant is a free parameter. This is achieved by continuing the diffusion constant to imaginary values, a continuation which destroys the physical interpretation, but does not affect experimental predictions. This continuation leads to great mathematical simplification in the stochastic theory, and to an understanding of the entire mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics. It is more than a formal construction because the diffusion parameter is not an observable in these theories.     

Variational principle and quantum operators ordering

The parameter responsible for the choice of quantum operator representation is discussed, and, with the help of the variational principle, its optimal value is established. Interpreting the deviations from the equilibrium value as a dynamic variable leads to the idea of a scalar field of exceptional nature which is responsible for the ordering of the operators.     

Some remarks on local operators in quantum electrodynamics

We assume the existence of a conserved current which generates locally gauge transformations of first kind. We are working in a local quantum Field Theory, where the fields are defined on a vector space where indefinite metric is allowed. We show that the Maxwell equations are not consistent with the above assumptions and the vectors obtained by applying local charged operators on the vacuum cannot describe physical states. Moreover we show that, if charged fields have non-trivial expectation value on the physical states, the vector space must contain vectors with negative norm. We discuss the relation between the local formulation of QED and a formulation in terms of physical states. As an example we study the transition from Gupta-Bleuler free QED to the Coulomb-gauge formulation.     

Natural star-products on symplectic manifolds and related quantum mechanical operators

In this paper is considered a problem of defining natural star-products on symplectic manifolds, admissible for quantization of classical Hamiltonian systems. First, a construction of a star-product on a cotangent bundle to an Euclidean configuration space is given with the use of a sequence of pair-wise commuting vector fields. The connection with a covariant representation of such a star-product is also presented. Then, an extension of the construction to symplectic manifolds over flat and non-flat pseudo-Riemannian configuration spaces is discussed. Finally, a coordinate free construction of related quantum mechanical operators from Hilbert space over respective configuration space is presented.     

The quantum groupSUq(2) andq-analog of angular momentum operators in quantum mechanics

We present three operators in quantum mechanics that obey the commutation relations of quantum groupSUq(2). These operators are nonlinear combinations of the conventional angular momentum operators and are called the quantumq-analog angular momentum operators. When the quantum deformation parameterr = Inq vanishes, these quantumq-analog angular momentum operators reduce to the usual angular momentum operators.     

Classical and quantum hard sphere fluids: Theory and experiment

A comprehensive picture is presented of what can be reconstructed of the equations of state, at all densities, of both classical and quantum hard sphere fluids (the latter in their ground states) just from the first few coefficients which are known of the low-density expansions. Extrapolation techniques, mostly Padé and generalizations thereof, are employed and comparisons with computer simulation studies are made wherever these are available.

Global quantum discord and matrix product density operators

In a previous study, we have proposed a procedure to study global quantum discord in 1D chains whose ground states are described by matrix product states [Z.-Y. Sun et al., Ann. Phys. 359, 115 (2015)]. In this paper, we show that with a very simple generalization, the procedure can be used to investigate quantum mixed states described by matrix product density operators, such as quantum chains at finite temperatures and 1D subchains in high-dimensional lattices. As an example, we study the global discord in the ground state of a 2D transverse-field Ising lattice, and pay our attention to the scaling behavior of global discord in 1D sub-chains of the lattice. We find that, for any strength of the magnetic field, global discord always shows a linear scaling behavior as the increase of the length of the sub-chains. In addition, global discord and the so-called “discord density” can be used to indicate the quantum phase transition in the model. Furthermore, based upon our numerical results, we make some reliable predictions about the scaling of global discord defined on the n × n sub-squares in the lattice.
