Phase-Space Methods for Fermions
Phase-space representations first arose from the attempt to describe quantum mechanics in terms of distributions over classical variables [1]. For example, Wigner introduced a function of phase-space variables W(x, p) that would classically correspond to a joint-probability distribution: an integration over x gives the marginal distribution for p and vice-versa. However in quantum mechanics, su...
متن کاملOverlap for Majorana–weyl Fermions
The power of the overlap formalism is illustrated by regularizing theories based on Majorana-Weyl fermions. The results reported in this contribution were obtained in collaboration with Patrick Huet [1]. More than half of the talk will be independent of the overlap formalism. To present our ideas in the simplest context possible we start directly from an example. Consider a U (1) chiral model, ...
متن کاملTopological Superfluids: Majorana Fermions
The subject of topological superfluids, though they were not originally called by that name, actually antedates that of topological insulators, and has played a major role in the attempt to implement topological quantum computation (see lectures 26 and 28). Crudely speaking, the analogy with TI’s goes as follows: in a crystalline solid with spin-orbit coupling, the single-particle energy eigens...

متن کاملGaussian phase-space representations for fermions
We introduce a positive phase-space representation for fermions, using the most general possible multimode Gaussian operator basis. The representation generalizes previous bosonic quantum phase-space methods to Fermi systems. We derive equivalences between quantum and stochastic moments, as well as operator correspondences that map quantum operator evolution onto stochastic processes in phase s...
