Minimum uncertainty states in angular momentum and angle variables for charged particles in structured electromagnetic fields

We study the phase-space properties of a charged particle in a static electromagnetic field exhibiting vortex pairs with complementary topological charges and in a pure gauge field. A stationary solution of the Schrödinger equation that minimizes the uncertainty relations for angular momentum and trigonometric functions of the phase is obtained. It does not exhibit vortices and the angular momentum is due to the gauge field only. Increasing the topological charge of the vortices increases the regions where the Wigner function in the angle–angular momentum plane takes negative values, and thus enhances the quantum character of the dynamics.

Local sum uncertainty relations for angular momentum operators of bipartite permutation symmetric systems

We show that violation of the variance based local sum uncertainty relation (LSUR) for angular momentum operators of a bipartite system, proposed by Hofmann and Takeuchi [Phys. Rev. A 68 032103 (2003)], reflects entanglement in the equal bipartitions of an N-qubit symmetric state with even qubits. We establish the one-to-one connection with the violation of LSUR with negativity of covariance matrix [Phys. Lett. A 364 203 (2007)] of the two-qubit reduced system of a permutation symmetric N-qubit state.     

Unitary transformations with spin angular momentum operators

Useful formulae for replacing an exponentiated spin scalar product by a finite sum of powers of this product, are presented in the context of Coulomb interactions between magnetic ions and conduction electrons in metals.     

Traces of products of angular momentum operators

Traces of products of angular momentum operators in a spherical or cartesian basis are common in the theory of atomic levels in fields, in the theory of nuclear orientation and of asymmetric top moments. Conventional angular momentum techniques lead to difficult and cumbersome calculations. In the present paper Schwinger's coupled boson representation is used in straightforward calculations of angular momentum and spherical tensor traces, of matrix elements and of asymmetric top moments. Only simple algebra, elementary multiplication and summation of integers are necessary. The method considerably simplifies calculations with angular momentum operators.     

Low-lying nuclear deformed states and angular momentum projection

A fast computational method for approximate angular momentum projection is proposed for low-lying deformed nuclear states. The accuracy of the method is demonstrated by calculating the low-lying states of the ground-state band and the two 0⁺ excited bands in ¹⁶⁸Er with good experimental comparison.     

Volume dependence of bound states with angular momentum

We derive general results for the mass shift of bound states with angular momentum ?≥1 in a finite periodic volume. Our results have direct applications to lattice simulations of hadronic molecules as well as atomic nuclei. While the binding of S-wave bound states increases at finite volume, we show that the binding of P-wave bound states decreases. The mass shift for D-wave bound states as well as higher partial waves depends on the representation of the cubic rotation group. Nevertheless, the multiplet-averaged mass shift for any angular momentum ? can be expressed in a simple form, and the sign of the shift alternates for even and odd ?. We verify our analytical results with explicit numerical calculations. We also show numerically that similar volume corrections appear in three-body bound states.     

Remark on the uncertainty between angle and angular momentum

Am Beispiel von Winkel und Drehimpuls wird gezeigt, daß für kanonisch konjugierte quantenmechanische VariableA, B die UnschärfebeziehungΔA·ΔB≧1/2 nicht gelten muß: für Unschärferelationen ist nicht der Komutatori[A, B], sondern eine gewisse Bilinearform über dem Hilbertraum maßgebend.     

On number and angular momentum projection from Hartree-Bogoliubov states

Rotational spectra, calculated by angular momentum projection from Hartree-Bogoliubov states may be completely distorted by particle number nonconservation. A simple method for correcting this is presented, which brings them close to the number projected spectra. It is also shown that by a slight modification of the usual number projection operator this projection may then be executed two times faster and with better numerical accuracy. We study the effect ofJ- and/orN projection before the variation in a constrained Hartree-Bogoliubov model. It is demonstrated that only simultaneous projection of both particle number and angular momentum before the variation is meaningful. Then a more gradual antipairing effect is found than known from previous work. We conclude however that the diagonalization of the Hamiltonian in a space of appropriately chosen generator wave functions is preferable to projection before the variation. In all cases the examples are nuclei in thesd-shell, calculated selfconsistently without separating off and inert core. The nucleon-nucleon force is the Hamada-Johnston potential.     

Efficient sorting of orbital angular momentum states of light

We present a method to efficiently sort orbital angular momentum (OAM) states of light using two static optical elements. The optical elements perform a Cartesian to log-polar coordinate transformation, converting the helically phased light beam corresponding to OAM states into a beam with a transverse phase gradient. A subsequent lens then focuses each input OAM state to a different lateral position. We demonstrate the concept experimentally by using two spatial light modulators to create the desired optical elements, applying it to the separation of eleven OAM states.     

A method of angular momentum projection for excited states in even-even nuclei

A method of angular momentum projection for the excited states in even-even nuclei is formulated within the framework of the Hartree-Bogoliubov theory. A preliminary application of this method is performed for the K=0^? band in ¹⁶²Er.

Generalized model for orbital angular momentum states generated by parallel aligned phase wedges

A generalized model of a double-wedge phase element containing two side-by-side parallel phase ramps with arbitrary slope angles is proposed. We study the diffracted optical field of a double-wedge element in terms of orbital angular momentum states. Analytical calculations reveal how the radius and position of the illuminating laser beam affect the composition of orbital angular momentum generated by the phase wedges.     

Options for angular momentum projection

A polynomial expansion of Löwdins projection operator is found to be suitable for state by state angular momentum projection using the techniques of the Lanczos algorithm. It does not seem suitable for approximations in the calculation of the projected states. For this case a variational derivation of a possible scheme is presented.
