Bivariate normal distribution of coherent state in parameterized phase space

Combining quantum mechanics and the normal distribution in statistics we study the coherent state from the point of view of statistics and by using the integration method within ordered product of operators. We find that the pure coherent state |z >z| exhibits a bivariate normal distribution of randon variables in (q,p) phase space, z=(q+ip)/√2, with a real k-parameter which is related to the quantization scheme, and the correlation coefficient is ik. For k=±1, |z >z| respectively is arranged as P-ordering (all P stand on the left of all Q) and Q-ordering (all Q stand on the left of all P), while in the case of k=0, |z >z| is arranged as the Weyl-ordering. In the cases of P-ordering and Q-ordering, in the classical correspondence function of |z >z||z=(q+ip)/√2 the bivariates (q,p) are correlated, only in the case of Weyl correspondece, (q,p) are independent. In other words, the Weyl ordering of operators is liable to decouple the correlation in bivariates.

A generalized Weyl-Wigner quantization scheme unifying P—Q and Q—P ordering and Weyl ordering of operators

By extending the usual Wigner operator to the s-parameterized one aswith s being a real parameter, we propose a generalized Weyl quantization scheme which accompanies a new generalized s-parameterized ordering rule. This rule recovers P-Q ordering, Q-P ordering, and Weyl ordering of operators in s = 1, - 1, 0 respectively. Hence it differs from the Cahill-Glaubers' ordering rule which unifies normal ordering, antinormal ordering, and Weyl ordering. We also show that in this scheme the s-parameter plays the role of correlation between two quadratures Q and P. The formula that can rearrange a given operator into its new s-parameterized ordering is presented.

Deriving new operator identities by alternately using normally, antinormally, and Weyl ordered integration technique

Dirac’s ket-bra formalism is the language of quantum mechanics. We have reviewed how to apply Newton-Leibniz integration rules to Dirac’s ket-bra projectors in previous work. In this work, by alternately using the technique of integration within normal, antinormal, and Weyl ordering of operators we not only derive some new operator ordering identities, but also deduce some new integration formulas regarding Laguerre and Hermite polynomials. This may open a new route of directly deriving some complicated mathematical integration formulas by virtue of the quantum mechanical operator ordering technique, without really performing the integrations in the ordinary way.

A New Kind of Integration Transformation in Phase Space Related to Two Mutually Conjugate Entangled-State Representations and Its Uses in Weyl Ordering of Operators

Based on the two mutually conjugate entangled state representations |ξ⟩ and |η⟩, we propose an integration transformation in ξ — η phase space , and its inverse transformation, which possesses some well-behaved transformation properties, such as being invertible and the Parseval theorem. This integral transformation is a convolution, where one of the factors is fixed as a special normalized exponential function. We generalize this transformation to a quantum mechanical case and apply it to studying the Weyl ordering of bipartite operators, regarding to (Q1 – Q2) ↔ (P1 – P2) ordered and simultaneously (P1 + P2) ↔ (Q1 + Q2) ordered operators.

Re-explanation of Weyl Quantization Scheme via Weyl Ordering Approach

We re-explain the Weyl quantization scheme by virtue of the technique of integration within Weyl ordered product of operators, i.e., the Weyl correspondence rule can be reconstructed by classical functions' Fourier transformation followed by an inverse Fourier transformation within Weyl ordering of operators. As an application of this reconstruction, we derive the quantum operator coresponding to the angular spectrum amplitude of a spherical wave.

ON THE WEYL ORDERING INVARIANCE UNDER GENERAL n-MODE SIMILAR TRANSFORMATIONS

We reveal that Weyl ordering of operators is invariant under general n-mode similar transformations. The technique of integration within a Weyl ordered product of operators is employed to prove our statement. Application of this property in obtaining generalized squeezed state via similar transformation is discussed.

Operator ordering and supersymmetry

We investigate supersymmetric quantum mechanics in curved space. In particular we discuss, in the framework of the canonical formulation, the role of supersymmetry (SUSY) and of invariance under general coordinate transformations (GCT) in solving the operator ordering ambiguity. It is shown that GCT invariance is instrumental to achieve such result. We also examine the connection with the Weyl ordering of operators and the relevance of our results for the path integral approach.
