Generalised Coherent States and the Diagonal Representation for Operators
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the problem of existence of the diagonal representation for operators in the space of a family of generalized coherent states associated with an unitary irreducible representation of a (compact) Lie group. We show that necessary and sufficient conditions for the possibility of such a representation can be obtained by combining Clebsch-Gordan theory and the reciprocity theorems associated with induced unitary group representation. Applications to several examples involving SU(2), SU(3), and the Heisenberg-Weyl group are presented, showing that there are simple examples of generalized coherent states which do not meet these conditions. Our results are relevant for phase-space description of quantum mechanics and quantum state reconstruction problems.

Diagonal Representation of Density Matrix Using q-Coherent States
A diagonal representation of the quantum mechanical density matrix by means of standard bosonic oscillator coherent states was obtained by Sudarshan [1] and Glauber [2]. A remarkable feature of this representation is that the average expectation value of normal ordered operators becomes the same as that of a classical function for a probability distribution over complex plane, thereby bringing ...
متن کاملA DIAGONAL REPRESENTATION OF QUANTUM DENSITY MATRIX USING q-BOSON OSCILLATOR COHERENT STATES
A q-analogue of Sudarshan’s diagonal representation of the Quantum Mechanical density matrix is obtained using q-boson coherent states. Earlier result of Mehta and Sudarshan on the self reproducing property of ρ(z, z) is also generalized and a self-consistent self-reproducing kernel K̃(z, z) is constructed. e-mail addresses: [email protected] ; [email protected] 1 A diagonal representati...
متن کاملCoherent Frames
Frames which can be generated by the action of some operators (e.g. translation, dilation, modulation, ...) on a single element $f$ in a Hilbert space, called coherent frames. In this paper, we introduce a class of continuous frames in a Hilbert space $mathcal{H}$ which is indexed by some locally compact group $G$, equipped with its left Haar measure. These frames are obtained as the orbits of ...
متن کاملHigher Order Nonclassicality from Nonlinear Coherent States for Models with Quadratic Spectrum
Harmonic oscillator coherent states are well known to be the analogue of classical states. On the other hand, nonlinear and generalised coherent states may possess nonclassical properties. In this article, we study the nonclassical behaviour of nonlinear coherent states for generalised classes of models corresponding to the generalised ladder operators. A comparative analysis among them indicat...
متن کاملStudy of Quommutators of Quantum Variables and Generalized Derivatives
A general deformation of the Heisenberg algebra is introduced with two deformed operators instead of just one. This is generalised to many variables, and permits the simultaneous existence of coherent states, and the transposition of creation operators.
