  • Branched Hamiltonians and Supersymmetry
    Branched Hamiltonians and Supersymmetry Thomas Curtright, University of Miami Wigner 111 seminar, 12 November 2013 Some examples of branched Hamiltonians are explored, as recently advo- cated by Shapere and Wilczek. These are actually cases of switchback poten- tials, albeit in momentum space, as previously analyzed for quasi-Hamiltonian dynamical systems in a classical context. A basic model, with a pair of Hamiltonian branches related by supersymmetry, is considered as an inter- esting illustration, and as stimulation. “It is quite possible ... we may discover that in nature the relation of past and future is so intimate ... that no simple representation of a present may exist.” – R P Feynman Based on work with Cosmas Zachos, Argonne National Laboratory Introduction to the problem In quantum mechanics H = p2 + V (x) (1) is neither more nor less difficult than H = x2 + V (p) (2) by reason of x, p duality, i.e. the Fourier transform: ψ (x) φ (p) ⎫ ⎧ x ⎪ ⎪ +i∂/∂p ⎪ ⇐⇒ ⎪ ⎬⎪ ⎨⎪ i∂/∂x p − ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎭⎪ ⎩⎪ This equivalence of (1) and (2) is manifest in the QMPS formalism, as initiated by Wigner (1932), 1 2ipy/ f (x, p)= dy x + y ρ x y e− π | | − 1 = dk p + k ρ p k e2ixk/ π | | − where x and p are on an equal footing, and where even more general H (x, p) can be considered. See CZ to follow, and other talks at this conference. Or even better, in addition to the excellent books cited at the conclusion of Professor Schleich’s talk yesterday morning, please see our new book on the subject ... Even in classical Hamiltonian mechanics, (1) and (2) are equivalent under a classical canonical transformation on phase space: (x, p) (p, x) ⇐⇒ − But upon transitioning to Lagrangian mechanics, the equivalence between the two theories becomes obscure.

They are Lie brackets that obey the Leibniz rule with respect to a suitable composition product. The pair \composition product" and \dynamical bracket" define a formal dynamical structure that is common to classical and quantum mechanics. Without properties like the Jacobi identity and the Leibniz rule, the consistency of a dynamical framework cannot be guaranteed. This work investigates the possibility of combining quantum and classical dynam- ics into a single, consistent framework. We generalize previous attempts and discuss no-go theorems that assert their inconsistency. We show that the Jacobi identity and Leibniz rule are satisfied provided there exists an associative product for hybrid variables. This condition motivates the construction of associative subalgebras over which quantum-classical dynamics is consistent: perhaps hybrid observables are con- strained to belong to such algebras. If so, only certain interactions between quantum and classical systems would be allowed.

Even after we understand what they have done, the process by which they have done it is completely dark. They seldom, if ever, have students ... Richard Feynman is a magician of the highest caliber. — Mark Kac [1] As the centennial of Richard Feynman’s birth approaches, I attempt in this letter to dispel a minor myth about him. The myth is embodied in the words of Mark Kac that I have emphasized above, and in the following statement attributed to one of Feynman’s students, Philip Platzman [2]: “The reason why Feynman did not have many students was because he was very difficult with them, because he didn’t really worry about students.

  • Differential Entropies in Phase Space for Quantum Photonic Systems
    BRUXELLES DE SITÉ LIBRE Differential entropies in phase space R E V for quantum photonic systems I N U M´emoirepr´esent´een vue de l'obtention du dipl^ome d'Ing´enieurCivil physicien `afinalit´ePhysique appliqu´ee Zacharie Van Herstraeten Directeur Professeur Nicolas Cerf Superviseur Michael Jabbour Service Ann´eeacad´emique Service QuIC 2016 - 2017 Abstract This report applies the theory of continuous majorization to quantum phase distri- butions. To this purpose, we restrict our study to nonnegative Wigner distributions. The physicality conditions in phase space formalism are addressed. Wigner entropy is introduced as the differential entropy of nonnegative Wigner distributions. The initial objective of this report is to prove the conjecture of Hertz, Jabbour and Cerf show- ing that vacuum is the state of least Wigner entropy. That aim is not reached here, but a scheme of demonstration is proposed. The demonstration involves the properties of pure loss channels and decreasing rearrangements. A majorization criterion is derived using Lindblad equation applied to pure loss channels. That criterion ensures that the instantaneous output of a pure loss channel majorizes its input, under some conditions. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the validity of the conjecture. Keywords : Continuous majorization, decreasing rearrangements, phase space represen- tation, nonnegative Wigner distributions, physicality, entropy, pure loss channels, Lind- blad equation.

  • Thomas Curtright, University of Miami
    Thomas Curtright, University of Miami Rather than five conversations with Myron Bander, as you might infer from my title, I will describe vignettes involving five seminars where he and I were both present, and I will try to put some aspects of these brief scenes into a broader historical context. The places and dates of the five seminars are 1) Caltech 1974 (Feynman & Gell-Mann) 2) Irvine 1976 (Pellam) 3) Irvine 1976 (Schonfeld) 4) Irvine 1977 (Freedman) 5) Fort Lauderdale 2012 (Bander) I met Myron when I was a graduate student at Caltech, in the early 1970s. Subsequently he hired me for my first post-doctoral position here at UC Irvine, 1976-78. Those were important formative years for me, of course, and I greatly appreciated the opportunities, guidance, and advice that Myron gave me during this period. As most of you know, in addition to being a first-rate theoretical physicist with excellent intuition, Myron had a well-developed, keen sense of humor that ranged from the darkly sardonic to the gleefully juvenile, but which was always poignant. I liked this very much. I will always remember him for it. 1) The first vivid memory of Myron I can recall was at a Caltech seminar. He and Paul Thomas had driven up from Irvine to attend a talk, a trip I would later repeat many times with Myron after Paul moved on and I became his replacement as an Irvine postdoc. Myron and Paul were seated against the outside wall in the 4th floor Lauritsen conference room, opposite from me across the conference table in the center of the room.

    Thomas Curtright, University of Miami KU Lawrence colloquium 30 April 2012 Since Heisenberg’s 1927 paper on uncertainty, there has been considerable reluc- tance to consider positions and momenta jointly in quantum contexts, since these are incompatible observables. But a discomfort to contemplate both positions and momenta simultaneously in the quantum world is not really warranted, as was Hrst fully understood by Hilbrand Groenewold and José Moyal in the 1940s. While the formalism for quantum mechanics in phase space was wholly cast at that time, it was not completely appreciated until the late 20th century. In this general talk I will discuss elementary features, as well as some of the early history, of this “deformation” approach to quantization. Based on work with David Fairlie, Andrzej Veitia, and Cosmas Zachos. 1 “ phase space has no meaning in quantum mechanics, thereh being no possibility of assigning numerical values simultaneously to the q’s and p’s ” P.

Applications are briefly sketched. The character χ (R) of a group representation R succinctly encodes considerable information about R, as is well-known [1]. For irreducible representations the characters are orthogonal, ∗ µ χ (R1) χ (R2)= δR1,R2 , (1) XZ where the sum or integral is over the group parameter space with an appropriate measure µ. For a Kronecker product of n representations, the character is given by the product of the individual charac- ters, χ (R R R )= χ (R ) χ (R ) χ (R ) , (2) 1 ⊗ 2 ⊗···⊗ n 1 2 ··· n from which follows an explicit expression for the number of times that a given representation R appears in the product (e.g., see [2] Chapter I 4.7).

  • The Doctoral Students of Richard Feynman
    The Doctoral Students of Richard Feynman T. S. Van Kortryk 120 Payne Street, Paris MO65275 [email protected] Abstract I document 35 students who graduated to receive PhDs under Feynman’s supervision. I provide links to their doctoral dissertations. Introduction An ordinary genius is an ordinary fellow ... There is no mystery as to how his mind works. ... It is different with the magicians ... Even after we understand what they have done, the process by which they have done it is completely dark. They seldom, if ever, have students ... Richard Feynman is a magician of the highest caliber. — Mark Kac [1] Since this is the centennial year of Richard Feynman’s birth, I attempt here to dispel a minor myth about him. The myth is embodied in the words of Mark Kac that I have emphasized above, and in the following statement attributed to one of Feynman’s students, Philip Platzman [2]: “The reason why Feynman did not have many students was because he was very difficult with them, because he didn’t really worry about students. ... He had a few students, but not many.” Thus a prevailing belief in the scientific community seems to be [3] Feynman had very few doctoral students who completed theses under his supervision. It may be surprising to most people to learn this is not true. The number of Feynman’s doctoral students is actually 35 ± 3, with the uncertainty intended to take into account some unavailable documents as well as possible subjectivity on my part [4]. The lineup of students who completed their PhD research under Feynman’s discerning gaze began in 1951 with Michel Baranger, Laurie Brown, and Giovanni Lomanitz at Cornell, and continued until at least 1977 with Ted Barnes and Thomas Curtright at Caltech.
