Quantum polarization distributions via marginals of quadrature distributions
Polarization is a crucial ingredient of light in both the classical and quantum domains. However, quantum polarization is mainly addressed in terms of the abstract Hilbertspace logic in a finite-dimensional space. This is rather divorced from the usual language used in the classical domain in terms of the Stokes parameters and the Poincaré sphere. Because of this, we think that it is worth deve...
متن کاملMajorization properties of generalized thermal distributions
We examine the majorization properties of general thermal-like mixed states depending on a set of parameters. Sufficient conditions which ensure the increase in mixedness, and hence of any associated entropic form, when these parameters are varied, are identified. We then discuss those exhibiting a power law distribution, showing that they can be characterized by two distinct mixing parameters,...
متن کاملMajorization in Quantum Adiabatic Algorithms
We study the Majorization arrow in a big class of quantum adiabatic algorithms. In a quantum adiabatic algorithm, the ground state of the Hamiltonian is a guide state around which the actual state evolves. We prove that for any algorithm of this class, step-by-step majorization of the guide state holds perfectly. We also show that step-by-step majorization of the actual state appears if the run...
متن کاملMajorization and measures of classical polarization in three dimensions.
There has been much discussion in the literature about rival measures of classical polarization in three dimensions. We gather and compare the various proposed measures of polarization, creating a geometric representation of the polarization state space in the process. We use majorization, previously used in quantum information, as a criterion to establish a partial ordering on the polarization...
متن کاملTransverse polarization distributions
The transverse polarization (or transversity) distributions ∆T q(x), introduced 20 years ago by Ralston and Soper [1] and studied in more detail in the last decade [2], are one of the three sets of leading-twist quark and antiquark distribution functions – the other two are the momentum distributions q(x) and the helicity distributions ∆q(x). (Note that ∆T q is often called h1). Formally ∆T q i...
