On Quantum Mechanical Hankel Transform and Its Applications

Based on our preceding works of how to relate the mathematical Hankel transform to quantum mechanical representation transform and how to express the Bessel equation by an operator identity in some appropriate representations we propose the concept of quantum mechanical Hankel transform with regard to quantum state vectors. Then we discuss its new applications.     

Study Hankel Transforms and Properties of Bessel Function via Entangled State Representation Transformation in Quantum Mechanics

In Phys. Lett. A 313 (2003) 343 we have found that the self-reciprocal Hankel transformation (HT) is embodied in quantum mechanics by a transform between two entangled state representations of continuum variables. In this work we study Hankel transforms and properties of Bessel function via entangled state representations' transformation in quantum mechanics.     

A Generalized Hankel Transformation Derived by Parametrized Entangled State Representations

Using the parametrized entangled state representations we have found a generalized Hankel transformation with the integral kernel being a combination of Bessel functions. This generalized Hankel transformation corresponds to the appropriate quantum mechanical representation transformation.     

Correspondence between quantum-optical transform and classical-optical transform explored by developing Dirac’s symbolic method

By virtue of the new technique of performing integration over Dirac’s ket–bra operators, we explore quantum optical version of classical optical transformations such as optical Fresnel transform, Hankel transform, fractional Fourier transform, Wigner transform, wavelet transform and Fresnel–Hadmard combinatorial transform etc. In this way one may gain benefit for developing classical optics theory from the research in quantum optics, or vice-versa. We cannot only find some new quantum mechanical unitary operators which correspond to the known optical transformations, deriving a new theorem for calculating quantum tomogram of density operators, but also can reveal some new classical optical transformations. For examples, we find the generalized Fresnel operator (GFO) to correspond to the generalized Fresnel transform (GFT) in classical optics. We derive GFO’s normal product form and its canonical coherent state representation and find that GFO is the loyal representation of symplectic group multiplication rule. We show that GFT is just the transformation matrix element of GFO in the coordinate representation such that two successive GFTs is still a GFT. The ABCD rule of the Gaussian beam propagation is directly demonstrated in the context of quantum optics. Especially, the introduction of quantum mechanical entangled state representations opens up a new area in finding new classical optical transformations. The complex wavelet transform and the condition of mother wavelet are studied in the context of quantum optics too. Throughout our discussions, the coherent state, the entangled state representation of the two-mode squeezing operators and the technique of integration within an ordered product (IWOP) of operators are fully used. All these have confirmed Dirac’s assertion: “...for a quantum dynamic system that has a classical analogue, unitary transformation in the quantum theory is the analogue of contact transformation in the classical theory”.     

Eigenmodes of fractional Hankel transform derived by the entangled-state method

Using the entangled-state method in quantum mechanics, we find that the eigenmodes of the fractional Hankel transform are two-variable Hermite-Gaussian functions that can be rewritten in a clearer form as Laguerre polynominals.     

Collins diffraction formula studied in quantum optics

We find that the Collins diffraction formula in cylindrical coordinates is just the transformation matrix element of a three-parameter two-mode squeezing operator in the deduced entangled state representation. This is a new tie connecting the unitary transform in quantum optics to the generalized Hankel transform in Fourier optics. The group multiplication rule of the squeezing operators maps to the Collins formula related to two successive Hankel transforms.     

Quantum-Mechanical Hankel Transformation and Ascending-Lowering Operators for the Induced Entangled State Representation

We study Hankel transformation of the induced entangled state representation by quantum mechanical operator algebraic method, the derivatives of functions and their ascending and lowering operators—studied by quantum mechanical operator algebraic method of the derivatives of functions.     

On the Integrability of q-Oscillators Based on Invariants of Discrete Fourier Transforms

A discretization of the quantum mechanical phase space is presented in the context of q-noncommutative structures. We give two generalizations of the Heisenberg algebra in the arising lattice phase space. In contrast to ordinary quantum mechanics, there is, a priori, no systematic approach to an integrable oscillator Hamiltonian in lattice quantum mechanics. This is the central obstacle to deal with in this Letter. To do so, we show how in general the integrability of the harmonic oscillator is related to the Fourier transform between momentum and space variables. This will be done in both cases, the continuous and the discrete one. As an application, we finally obtain an integrable lattice Hamiltonian for the harmonic oscillator with generalized Hermite eigenfunctions.     

Applications of Weyl Ordered Two-Mode Wigner Operator for Quantum Mechanical Entangled System

Based on the technique of integral within a Weyl ordered product of operators, we present applications of the Weyl ordered two-mode Wigner operator for quantum mechanical entangled system, e.g., we derive the complex Wigner transform and its relation to the complex fractional Fourier transform, as well as the entangled Radon transform.     

Application of Bipartite Entangled States to Quantum Mechanical Version of Complex Wavelet Transforms

We introduce the bipartite entangled states to present a quantum mechanical version of complex wavelet transform. Using the technique of integral within an ordered product of operators we show that the complex wavelet transform can be studied in terms of various quantum state vectors in two-mode Fock space. In this way the creterion for mother wavelet can be examined quantum-mechanically and therefore more deeply.

Quasi-discrete Hankel transform

A quasi-discrete Hankel transform (QDHT) is presented as a new and efficient framework for numerical evaluation of the zero-order Hankel transform. A discrete form of Parseval's theorem is obtained for the first time to the authors' knowledge, and the transform matrix is discussed. It is shown that the S factor, defined as the products of a truncated radius, is critical to building the QDHT.     

Photonic quantum information processing

Information processing with light is ubiquitous, from communication, metrology and imaging to computing. When we consider light as a quantum mechanical object, new ways of information processing become possible. In this review I give an overview of how quantum information processing can be implemented with single photons, and what hurdles still need to be overcome to implement the various applications in practice. I will place special emphasis on the quantum mechanical properties of light that make it different from classical light, and how these properties relate to quantum information processing tasks.     

Axisymmetric wave propagation of thermoelastic transversely isotropic half-space under buried loading using potential functions

By virtue of a new scalar potential function and Hankel integral transforms, the wave propagation analysis of a thermoelastic transversely isotropic half-space is presented under buried loading and heat flux. The governing equations of the problem are the differential equations of motion and the energy equation of the coupled thermoelasticity theory. Using a scalar potential function, these coupled equations have been uncoupled and a six-order partial differential equation governing the potential function is received. The displacements, temperature, and stress components are obtained in terms of this potential function in cylindrical coordinate system. Applying the Hankel integral transform to suppress the radial variable, the governing equation for potential function is reduced to a six-order ordinary differential equation with respect to z. Solving that equation, the potential function and therefore displacements, temperature, and stresses are derived in the Hankel transformed domain for two regions. Using inversion of Hankel transform, these functions can be obtained in the real domain. The integrals of inversion Hankel transform are calculated numerically via Mathematica software. Our numerical results for displacement and temperature are calculated for surface excitations and compared with the results reported in the literature and a very good agreement is achieved.     

On the general expressions of finite Hankel transform

The general expressions of finite Hankel transform are naturally deduced with the help of the property of Bessel functions.The equations in this paper can degenerate into three kinds of boundaries since all the coefficients in the boundary conditions are taken into consideration.The results can be adopted in solving physics problems involving the finite Hankel transform.     

Fractional Fourier Transformation for Quantum Mechanical Wave Functions Studied by Virtue of IWOP Technique

Starting from the optical fractional Fourier transform (FFT) and using the technique of integration withinan ordered product of operators we establish a formalism of FFT for quantum mechanical wave functions. In doing so, theessence of FFT can be seen more clearly, and the FFT of some wave functions can be derived more directly and concisely.We also point out that different FFT integral kernels correspond to different quantum mechanical representations. Theyare generalized FFT. The relationship between the FFT and the rotated Wigner operator is studied by virtue of theWeyl ordered form of the Wigner operator.

Multiparty Quantum Secret Sharing Using Quantum Fourier Transform

A （n, n）-threshold scheme of multiparty quantum secret sharing of classical or quantum message is proposed based on the discrete quantum Fourier transform. In our proposed scheme, the secret message, which is encoded by using the forward quantum Fourier transform and decoded by using the reverse, is split and shared in such a way that it can be reconstructed among them only if all the participants work in concert. Fhrthermore, we also discuss how this protocol must be carefully designed for correcting errors and checking eavesdropping or a dishonest participant. Security analysis shows that our scheme is secure. Also, this scheme has an advantage that it is completely compatible with quantum computation and easier to realize in the distributed quantum secure computation.     

Comparison of some resolution enhancement methods applied to35Cl-NQR nutation spectroscopy

The³⁵Cl nuclear quadrupole resonance spin echo nutation spectroscopy method was used to determine asymmetry parameters,η, of the electric field gradient tensor in cyanuric chloride, 1,3,5-trichloro-cyanuric acid and 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin. For comparison of advantages and drawbacks of some data processing methods we have tried integral transforms of nutation interferogram (pseudo-FID) data (Hankel and Hartley transforms) alternative to the Fourier transform. Another processing method, which provides a power spectrum estimated from time-domain data, is the maximum entropy method (MEM), and we applied the Burg algorithm version of it. We found that MEM gives the best enhancement of the nutation spectrum resolution and the signal-to-noise ratio, provided the number of autocorrelation coefficients is chosen for optimum performance of the Burg algorithm, otherwise estimated singularities in the nutation spectrum can be obscured by multiple spurious peaks or the spectrum resolution is low. In the Hankel transform with the first-order Bessel functions the improvement in resolution is achieved at the expense of the overall signal-to-noise ratio and for noisy experimental data this transform did not show reliable results. The Hartley transform gives a resolution better than the Fourier transform but worse than the two other methods. Unlike the Hankel transform after the Hartley transform the signal-to-noise ratio is not degraded. Theη parameter determined by MEM for cyanuric chloride was 18%, which is close to previously reported values. For 1,3,5-trichloro-cyanuric acidη = 20% and for the two chlorine sites in 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoinη = 0 and 12% respectively. These values are in substantial agreement with the anticipated double bond character of N-Cl bonds in the two last compounds.
