Quantum Mechanics as a Generalization of Nambu Dynamics to the Weyl-Wigner Formalism* **
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown that Nambu dynamics can be generalized to any number of dimensions by replacing the 0(3) algebra, a prominent feature of Nambu's formulation, by an arbitrary Lie algebra. For the infinite dimensional algebra of rotations in phase space one obtains quantum mechanics in the Weyl-Wigner representation from the generalized Nambu dynamics. Also, this formulation can be cast into a canonical Hamiltonian form by a natural choice of canonically conjugate variables.

Generalized Weyl-Wigner map and Vey quantum mechanics
The Weyl-Wigner map yields the entire structure of Moyal quantum mechanics directly from the standard operator formulation. The covariant generalization of Moyal theory, also known as Vey quantum mechanics, was presented in the literature many years ago. However, a derivation of the formalism directly from standard operator quantum mechanics, clarifying the relation between the two formulations...
متن کاملThe Wigner-weyl Formalism and the Relativistic Semi-classical Approximation 1
The relativistic semi-classical approximation for a free massive particle is studied using the Wigner-Weyl formalism. A non-covariant Wigner function is defined using the Newton-Wigner position operator. The perturbative solution for the time evolution is found. Causality is found to be perturbatively respected. 1 1 Introduction. The Wigner-Weyl formalism [1] offers a classical-like formulation...
متن کاملNambu Dynamics, Deformation Quantization, and Superintegrability
Phase space is a framework ideally suited for quantizing superintegrable systems through the use of deformation methods, as illustrated here by applications to de Sitter and chiral particles. Within this framework, Nambu brackets elegantly incorporate the additional quantum invariants of such models. New results are presented for the non-Abelian quantization of these brackets.

متن کاملAlgebras and universal quantum computations with higher dimensional systems
Here is discussed application of the Weyl pair to construction of universal set of quantum gates for high-dimensional quantum system. An application of Lie algebras (Hamiltonians) for construction of universal gates is revisited first. It is shown next, how for quantum computation with qubits can be used two-dimensional analog of this Cayley-Weyl matrix algebras, i.e. Clifford algebras, and dis...
