About maximally localized states in quantum mechanics

چکیده
We analyze the emergence of a minimal length for a large class of generalized commutation relations, preserving commutation of the position operators and translation invariance as well as rotation invariance (in dimension higher than one). We show that the construction of the maximally localized states based on squeezed states generally fails. Rather, one must resort to a constrained variational principle.

Renewable energy research has created a push for new materials one of the most attractive material in this field is quantum confined hybrid silicon nano-structures (nc-Si:H) embedded in hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H). The essential step for this investigation is studying a-Si and its ability to produce quantum confinement (QC) in nc-Si: H. Increasing the gap of a-Si system causes solar...
متن کاملBell inequality, Bell states and maximally entangled states for n qubits
First, we present a Bell-type inequality for n qubits, assuming that m out of the n qubits are independent. Quantum mechanics violates this inequality by a ratio that increases exponentially with m. Hence an experiment on n qubits violating this inequality sets a lower bound on the number m of entangled qubits. Next, we propose a definition of maximally entangled states of n qubits. For this pu...
متن کاملOntological Models in Quantum Mechanics: What do they tell us?
The consequences of the theorems about ontological models are studied. Maximally ψ-epistemic is shown to be equivalent to the conjunction of two other conditions, each of which can be realized in Hilbert spaces of arbitrary dimension, but which cannot occur together for d > 2. I argue that current theorems do not invalidate an epistemic interpretation of quantum states. A new condition, called ...
متن کاملStrict hierarchy among Bell Theorems
As demonstrated by John Bell, quantum mechanics exhibits correlations in spacelike separated bipartite systems that are impossible to reproduce by classical means. There are three levels of “Bell Theorems”, depending on which aspects of the quantum correlations can or cannot be reproduced classically. The original “Bell Inequalities” (BI) require a perfect classical simulation of all quantum pr...
متن کاملA Curious Geometrical Fact about Entanglement
I sketch how the set of pure quantum states forms a phase space, and then point out a curiousity concerning maximally entangled pure states: they form a minimal Lagrangian submanifold of the set of all pure states. I suggest that this curiousity should have an interesting physical interpretation. Talk at the Växjö conference on Quantum Theory: Reconsideration of Foundations, June 2007. Email ad...
