A class of vector coherent states is derived with multiple of matrices as vectors in a Hilbert space, where the Hilbert space is taken to be the tensor product of several other Hilbert spaces. As examples vector coherent states with multiple of quaternions and octonions are given. The resulting generalized oscillator algebra is briefly discussed. Further, vector coherent states for a tensored Hamiltonian system are obtained by the same method. As particular cases, coherent states are obtained for tensored Jaynes-Cummings type Hamiltonians and for a two-level two-mode generalization of the Jaynes-Cummings model.
The well-known canonical coherent states are expressed as an infinite series in powers of a complex number $z$ together with a positive sequence of real numbers $ρ(m)=m$. In this article, in analogy with the canonical coherent states, we present a class of vector coherent states by replacing the complex variable $z$ by a real Clifford matrix. We also present another class of vector coherent states by simultaneously replacing $z$ by a real Clifford matrix and $ρ(m)$ by a real matrix. As examples, we present vector coherent states on quaternions and octonions with their real matrix representatio…
The behavior of an electron in an external uniform electromagnetic background coupled to a harmonic potential, with noncommuting space coordinates, is considered in this work. The thermodynamics of the system is studied. Matrix vector coherent states (MVCS) as well as quaternionic vector coherent states (QVCS), satisfying required properties, are also constructed and discussed.
We present a class of vector coherent states in the domain $D\times D\times >....\times D$ (n-copies), where $D$ is the complex unit disc, using a specific class of hermitian matrices. Further, as an example, we build vector coherent states in the unit disc by considering the unit disc as the homogeneous space of the group SU(1,1).
We describe a method for constructing vector coherent states for quantum supersymmetric partner Hamiltonians. The method is then applied to such partner Hamiltonians arising from a generalization of the fractional quantum Hall effect. Explicit examples are worked out.
A general scheme is proposed for constructing vector coherent states, in analogy with the well-known canonical coherent states, and their deformed versions, when these latter are expressed as infinite series in powers of a complex variable $z$. In the present scheme, the variable $z$ is replaced by a matrix valued function over appropriate domains. As particular examples, we analyze the quaternionic extensions of the the canonical coherent states and the Gilmore-Perelomov and Barut-Girardello coherent states arising from representations of SU(1,1).
The first part of this work deals with a formalism of vector coherent states construction for a system of $M$ Fermi-type modes associated with $N$ bosonic modes. Then follows a generalization to a Hamiltonian describing the translational motion of the center of mass of a nanoparticle. The latter gives rise to a new mechanism for the electronic energy relaxation in nanocrystals, intensively studied today in condensed matter physics. Finite degeneracies of the involved Hamiltonian systems are also investigated. The defined vector coherent states satisfy relevant mathematical properties of contin…
In this paper we discuss a general strategy to construct vector coherent states of the Gazeau-Klauder type and we use them to built up examples of isospectral hamiltonians. For that we use a general strategy recently proposed by the author and which extends well known facts on intertwining operators. We also discuss the possibility of constructing non-isospectral hamiltonians with related eigenstates.
Vector coherent states (VCS) viewed as a generalization of ordinary coherent states for higher rank tensor Hilbert spaces are investigated. We consider a systematic way of generating classes of VCS which are solvable (i.e., in the present context, normalizable states satisfying a resolution of the identity) on the Hilbert space of 2D and 3D harmonic oscillators. Thanks to the type of construction, these VCS are classified according to specific criteria. Furthermore, in many cases, the found classes of VCS are continuously deformable one onto another, still remaining solvable.
This work addresses the study of two-dimensional electron gas in a perpendicular magnetic field in the presence of both Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit (SO) interactions, with effective Zeeman coupling. Exact analytical expressions are found for the eigenvalue problem giving the Landau levels and the associated eigenstates, thanks to an appropriate method of parametrization used to quantize the physical system. Such a system exhibits interesting properties of quaternions for which vector coherent states are built. Similarity with the Weyl-Heisenberg group and some relevant properties of thes…
Canonical coherent states can be written as infinite series in powers of a single complex number $z$ and a positive integer $ρ(m)$. The requirement that these states realize a resolution of the identity typically results in a moment problem, where the moments form the positive sequence of real numbers $\{ρ(m)\}_{m=0}^\infty$. In this paper we obtain new classes of vector coherent states by simultaneously replacing the complex number $z$ and the moments $ρ(m)$ of the canonical coherent states by $n \times n$ matrices. Associated oscillator algebras are discussed with the aid of a generalized ma…
A set of generalized squeezed-coherent states for the finite u(2) oscillator is obtained. These states are given as linear combinations of the mode eigenstates with amplitudes determined by matrix elements of exponentials in the su(2) generators. These matrix elements are given in the (N+1)-dimensional basis of the finite oscillator eigenstates and are seen to involve 3x3 matrix multi-orthogonal polynomials Q_n(k) in a discrete variable k which have the Krawtchouk and vector-orthogonal polynomials as their building blocks. The algebraic setting allows for the characterization of these polynomi…
As a substantial generalization of the technique for constructing canonical and the related nonlinear and q-deformed coherent states, we present here a method for constructing vector coherent states in the same spirit. These vector coherent states may have a finite or an infinite number of components. As examples we first apply the technique to construct vector coherent states using the Plancherel isometry for groups and vector coherent states associated to Clifford algebras, in particular quaternions. As physical examples, we discuss vector coherent states for a quantum optical model and fina…
This paper deals with an extension of our previous work [J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. {\bf 40} F817] by considering an alternative construction of canonical and deformed vector coherent states (VCSs) of the Gazeau-Klauder type associated with generalized spin-orbit Hamiltonians. We define an annihilation operator which takes into account the finite dimensional space of states induced by the $k$-photon transition processes of the two-level atom interacting with the single-mode radiation field. The class of nonlinear VCSs (NVCSs) corresponding to the action of the annihilation operator is deduced an…
We discuss a general strategy which produces an orthonormal set of vectors, stable under the action of a given set of unitary operators $A_j$, $j=1,2,...,n$, starting from a fixed normalized vector in $\Hil$ and from a set of unitary operators. We discuss several examples of this procedure and, in particular, we show how a set of {\em coherent-like} vectors can be produced and in which condition over the lattice spacing this can be done.
Explicit forms are given of matrix elements of generalized coherent operators based on Lie algebras su(1,1) and su(2). We also give a kind of factorization formula of the associated Laguerre polynomials.
Several advances have extended the power and versatility of coherent state theory to the extent that it has become a vital tool in the representation theory of Lie groups and their Lie algebras. Representative applications are reviewed and some new developments are introduced. The examples given are chosen to illustrate special features of the scalar and vector coherent state constructions and how they work in practical situations. Comparisons are made with Mackey's theory of induced representations. For simplicity, we focus on square integrable (discrete series) unitary representations althou…
We decouple the Dirac's radial equations in $D+1$ dimensions with Coulomb-type scalar and vector potentials through appropriate transformations. We study each of these uncoupled second-order equations in an algebraic way by using an $su(1,1)$ algebra realization. Based on the theory of irreducible representations, we find the energy spectrum and the radial eigenfunctions. We construct the Perelomov coherent states for the Sturmian basis, which is the basis for the unitary irreducible representation of the $su(1,1)$ Lie algebra. The physical radial coherent states for our problem are obtained b…
In the spirit of some earlier work on the construction of vector coherent states over matrix domains, we compute here such states associated to some physical Hamiltonians. In particular, we construct vector coherent states of the Gazeau-Klauder type. As a related problem, we also suggest a way to handle degeneracies in the Hamiltonian for building coherent states. Specific physical Hamiltonians studied include a single photon mode interacting with a pair of fermions, a Hamiltonian involving a single boson and a single fermion, a charged particle in a three dimensional harmonic force field and …
Starting from a faithful five-dimensional matrix representation of the group of two independent oscillators and applying the R-matrix method we generate some classes of deformed fermionic-bosonic quantum Hopf algebras. The corresponding Lie deformed superalgebras of type I--II, obtained by duality, are computed and a realization of generators of these deformed superalgebras are given in terms of the usual fermionic and bosonic creation and annihilation operators associated to the supersymmetric harmonic oscillator. Then, a generalized deformed annihilator is construted and their eigenstates ar…
In this paper we present results obtained from the unification of $SU(2)$ coherent states with $\mathbb{C}P^N$ sigma models defined on the Riemann sphere having finite actions. The set of coherent states generated by a vector belonging to a carrier space of an irreducible representation of the group gives rise to a map from the sphere into the set of rank-1 Hermitian projectors in that space. The map can be identified with a particular solution of the $\mathbb{C}P^N$ sigma model, where $N+1$ is equal to the dimension of the representation space. In particular a choice of the generating vector …
For applications of group theory in quantum mechanics, one generally needs explicit matrix representations of the spectrum generating algebras that arise in bases that reduce the symmetry group of some Hamiltonian of interest. Here we use vector coherent state techniques to develop an algorithm for constructing the matrices for arbitrary finite-dimensional irreps of the SO(5) Lie algebra in an SO(3) basis. The SO(3) subgroup of SO(5) is defined by regarding SO(5) as linear transformations of the five-dimensional space of an SO(3) irrep of angular momentum two. A need for such irreps arises in …
We employ the Random Matrix Theory framework to calculate the density of zeroes of an $M$-channel scattering matrix describing a chaotic cavity with a single localized absorber embedded in it. Our approach extends beyond the weak-coupling limit of the cavity with the channels and applies for any absorption strength. Importantly it provides an insight for the optimal amount of loss needed to realize a chaotic coherent perfect absorbing (CPA) trap. Our predictions are tested against simulations for two types of traps: a complex network of resonators and quantum graphs.
A general framework is described which associates geometrical structures to any set of $D$ finite-dimensional hermitian matrices $X^a, \ a=1,...,D$. This framework generalizes and systematizes the well-known examples of fuzzy spaces, and allows to extract the underlying classical space without requiring the limit of large matrices or representation theory. The approach is based on the previously introduced concept of quasi-coherent states. In particular, a concept of quantum Kähler geometry arises naturally, which includes the well-known quantized coadjoint orbits such as the fuzzy sphere $S^2…
Coherent states in the time-energy plane provide a natural basis to study adiabatic scattering. We relate the (diagonal) matrix elements of the scattering matrix in this basis with the frozen on-shell scattering data. We describe an exactly solvable model, and show that the error in the frozen data cannot be estimated by the Wigner time delay alone. We introduce the notion of energy shift, a conjugate of Wigner time delay, and show that for incoming state $ρ(H_0)$ the energy shift determines the outgoing state.
We discuss a quantum mechanical indirect measurement method to recover a position dependent Hamilton matrix from time evolution of coherent quantum mechanical states through an object. A mathematical formulation of this inverse problem leads to weighted X-ray transforms where the weight is a matrix. We show that such X-ray transforms are injective with very rough weights. Consequently, we can solve our quantum mechanical inverse problem in several settings, but many physically relevant problems we pose also remain open. We discuss the physical background of the proposed imaging method in detai…
