Application of Liiwdin Projectors to Evaluate Density Matrix Evolutions
نویسنده
چکیده
Projection operators are employed to evaluate functions of operators. In particular, this formalism is used to find polynomial expressions for exponential operators and thence to solve density matrix evolutions in closed analytical form. Problems explicitly treated include pulse rotation ofspin1 and spin-j systems, spin tickling and spin interferometry on a system of two coupled spin-f nuclei, isotropic mixing in systems of two coupled nuclei (both spins-i or spins-l ), and dipolar evolution in a two-spin-$ system. The method is compared to the BCH approach for operator evolutions. o 1990 Academic

On Symmetric Sets of Projectors
In this work are presented sets of projectors for reconstruction of a density matrix for an arbitrary mixed state of a quantum system with the finite-dimensional Hilbert space. It was discussed earlier [1] a construction with (2n − 1)n projectors for the dimension n. For n = 2 it is a set with six projectors associated with eigenvectors of three Pauli matrices, but for n > 2 the construction pr...
متن کاملDecay Properties of Spectral Projectors with Applications to Electronic Structure
Motivated by applications in quantum chemistry and solid state physics, we apply general results from approximation theory and matrix analysis to the study of the decay properties of spectral projectors associated with large and sparse Hermitian matrices. Our theory leads to a rigorous proof of the exponential off-diagonal decay (“nearsightedness”) for the density matrix of gapped systems at ze...
متن کاملMatrix Kummer-Pearson VII Relation and Polynomial Pearson VII Configuration Density
Abstract. A case of the matrix Kummer relation of Herz (1955) based on the Pearson VII type matrix model is derived in this paper. As a con- sequence, the polynomial Pearson VII configuration density is obtained and this sets the corresponding exact inference as a solvable aspect in shape theory. An application in postcode recognition, including a nu- merical comparison between the exact poly...
متن کاملExpanding Hermitean Operators in a Basis of Projectors on Coherent Spin States
The expectation values of a hermitean operator  in (2s+1) specific coherent states of a spin are known to determine the operator unambiguously. As shown here, (almost) any other (2s + 1) coherent states also provide a basis for selfadjoint operators. This is proven by considering the determinant of the Gram matrix associated with the coherent state projectors as a Hamiltonian of a fictitious c...
متن کاملEqualities for orthogonal projectors and their operations
A complex square matrix A is called an orthogonal projector if A2 = A = A∗, where A∗ denotes the conjugate transpose of A. In this paper, we give a comprehensive investigation to matrix expressions consisting of orthogonal projectors and their properties through ranks of matrices. We first collect some well-known rank formulas for orthogonal projectors and their operations, and then establish v...
