Quantum Mechanics on a Torus *

چکیده
We present here a canonical description for quantizing classical maps on a torus. We prove theorems analagous to classical theorems on mixing and ergodicity in terms of a quantum Koopman space L (A~, τ~) obtained as the completion of the algebra of observables A~ in the norm induced by the following inner product (A,B) = τ~ ( A†B ) , where τ~ is a linear functional on the algebra analogous to the classical “integral over phase space.” We also derive explicit formulas connecting this formulation to the θ-torus decomposition of Bargmann space introduced in ref.. ∗26 pages, 2 Figures

Matrix Quantum Mechanics and Soliton Regularization of Noncommutative Field Theory
We construct an approximation to field theories on the noncommutative torus based on soliton projections and partial isometries which together form a matrix algebra of functions on the sum of two circles. The matrix quantum mechanics is applied to the perturbative dynamics of scalar field theory, to tachyon dynamics in string field theory, and to the Hamiltonian dynamics of noncommutative gauge...

In this letter we study D particle quantum mechanics on a torus in the limit that one or more cycles of the torus have a zero length.
متن کاملThe Higher-dimensional Rudnick-kurlberg Conjecture Shamgar Gurevich and Ronny Hadani
In this paper we give a proof of the Hecke quantum unique ergodicity conjecture for the multidimensional Berry-Hannay model. A model of quantum mechanics on the 2n-dimensional torus. This result generalizes the proof of the Rudnick-Kurlberg Conjecture given in [GH3] for the 2-dimensional torus.

متن کاملCrystal properties of eigenstates for quantum cat maps
Using the Bargmann–Husimi representation of quantum mechanics on a torus phase space, we study analytically eigenstates of quantized cat maps [9]. The linearity of these maps implies a close relationship between classically invariant sublattices on the one hand, and the patterns (or ‘constellations’) of Husimi zeros of certain quantum eigenstates on the other hand. For these states, the zero pa...
متن کاملQuantization on a torus without position operators
We formulate quantum mechanics in the two-dimensional torus without using position operators. We define an algebra with only momentum operators and shift operators and construct an irreducible representation of the algebra. We show that it realizes quantum mechanics of a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field. We prove that any irreducible representation of the algebra is unitarily equiva...
