Discrete and Canonical Quantum Variables

چکیده
Quantum mechanics, and in particular the language of quantum mechanics, is deeply entangled with the way physics is done on its many branches. Therefore, the interpretation of the formalism might have a crucial role on areas where both theoretical and experimental efforts are highly developed. Nuclear physics, with its need to take into account so many different effects – which are better understood mostly in languages of different theories — is a sound example of the above remark. Motivated by this basic idea, we shall here explore some aspects of the formal structure of quantum mechanics, in a commented overview of the work recently published on [1, 2]. In the beginning of the sixties Schwinger had developed a program of treating quantum degrees of freedom characterized by a finite number of states, therefore with no classical counterpart. We start considering quantum systems described on Hilbert spaces of finite dimension. Let the set {|uk〉} denote the eigenstates of an arbitrary Hermitian operator acting on the space of interest. So, the states {|uk〉} might represent a multiplet in a closed shell, eigenstates of the quantized axis of spin, isospin, and so on. The index k is an integer which runs from 0 to N − 1. We define an operator V as:

Sampling Rate Conversion in the Discrete Linear Canonical Transform Domain
Sampling rate conversion (SRC) is one of important issues in modern sampling theory. It can be realized by up-sampling, filtering, and down-sampling operations, which need large complexity. Although some efficient algorithms have been presented to do the sampling rate conversion, they all need to compute the N-point original signal to obtain the up-sampling or the down-sampling signal in the tim...
متن کاملStability of additive functional equation on discrete quantum semigroups
We construct a noncommutative analog of additive functional equations on discrete quantum semigroups and show that this noncommutative functional equation has Hyers-Ulam stability on amenable discrete quantum semigroups. The discrete quantum semigroups that we consider in this paper are in the sense of van Daele, and the amenability is in the sense of Bèdos-Murphy-Tuset. Our main result genera...
متن کاملCoherent States for Black Holes
We determine coherent states peaked at classical space-time of the Schwarzschild black hole in the frame-work of canonical quantisation of general relativity. The information about the horizon is naturally encoded in the phase space variables, and the perturbative quantum fluctuations around the classical geometry depend on the distance from the horizon. For small black holes, space near the vi...
متن کاملFrom Discrete to Continuous
From a development of an original idea due to Schwinger, it is shown that it is possible to recover, from the quantum description of a degree of freedom characterized by a finite number of states (i.e., without classical counterpart) the usual canonical variables of position/momentum and angle/angular momentum .
متن کاملA Quantum Mechanical Model of the Reissner-Nordström Black Hole
We consider a Hamiltonian quantum theory of spherically symmetric, asymptotically flat electrovacuum spacetimes. The physical phase space of such spacetimes is spanned by the mass and the charge parameters M and Q of the ReissnerNordström black hole, together with the corresponding canonical momenta. In this four-dimensional phase space, we perform a canonical transformation such that the resul...
متن کاملExact Discrete Analogs of Canonical Commutation and Uncertainty Relations
An exact discretization of the canonical commutation and corresponding uncertainty relations are suggested. We prove that the canonical commutation relations of discrete quantum mechanics, which is based on standard finite difference, holds for constant wave functions only. In this paper, we use the recently proposed exact discretization of derivatives, which is based on differences that are re...
