Operator Representations

Close inspection of equation (A 1.1.45) reveals that, under very special circumstances, the expectation value does not change with time for any system properties that correspond to fixed (static) operator representations. Specifically, if tlie spatial part of the time-dependent wavefiinction is the exact eigenfiinction ). of the Hamiltonian, then Cj(0) = 1 (the zero of time can be chosen arbitrarily) and all other (O) = 0. The second tenn clearly vanishes in these cases, which are known as stationary states. As the name implies, all observable properties of these states do not vary with time. In a stationary state, the energy of the system has a precise value (the corresponding eigenvalue of //) as do observables that are associated with operators that connmite with ft. For all other properties (such as the position and momentum).

This is the desired result which may be substituted into the scattering amplitude formula (6). The resulting scattering formula is the same as found by other authors [5], except that in this work SI units are used. The contributions to the Fourier component of magnetic field density are seen to be the physically distinct (i) linear current JL and (ii) the magnetisation density Ms associated with the spin density. A concrete picture of the physical system has been established, in contrast to other derivations which are heavily biased toward operator representations [5]. We note in passing that the treatment here could be easily extended to inelastic scattering if transition one particle density matrices (x x ) were used in Equations (12)—(14). 

The extension of the classical BPM towards bi-directional propagation is of special interest for long . Combinations with EME " and e.g. complex operators representations , have been tried for this. 

Pi > Pij- The probability that orbital i is occupied is greater than or equal to the probability that orbital i and orbital are both occupied. An alternative interpretation, based on the number operators representation in Eq. (43), is that the probability that orbital is occupied and orbital j" is empty is greater than or equal to zero. 

Eq. (4.22) thus gives an operator representation of the mapping from at to at One of the advantages of using the transformation in Eq. (4.22) is that it allows operator manipulations of formulae. Consider for example an occupation number vector I n k> with occupation vector n referring to orbitals in the transformed basis. This vector can be written...

Equation (29) is particularly useful for the quantum theory because we know how to represent the Coulomb gauge vector potential operator in terms of photon annihilation and creation operators since the Green s function g(x,x ) remains a c-numbcr. (29) gives an operator representation of the vector potential in an arbitrary gauge. 

As already discussed at the end of Section 2.2.3, we derived a universal superposition principle from a complex symmetric ansatz arriving at a Klein-Gordon-like equation relevant for the theory of special relativity. This approach, which posits a secular-like operator equation in terms of energy and momenta, was adjoined with a conjugate formal operator representation in terms of time and position. As it will be seen, this provides a viable extension to the general theory [7, 82]. We will hence recover Einstein s laws of relativity as construed from the overall global superposition, demonstrating in addition the independent choice of a classical and/or a quantum representation. In this way, decoherence to classical reality seems always possible provided that appropriate operator realizations are made. 

The precise connection with finite dimensional matrix formulas obtains simply from Lowdin s inner and outer projections [21, 22], see more below, or equivalently from the corresponding Hylleraas-Lippmann-Schwinger-type variational principles [24, 25]. For instance, if we restrict our operator representations to an n-dimensional linear manifold (orthonormal for simplicity) defined by...

The factor of 4 reflects the change from observing XH to observing 13C, a change in our standard of comparison for magnitude). The net effect of these two steps is to convert antiphase proton SQC into antiphase carbon SQC, an overall coherence transfer with ZQC/DQC as an intermediate state. In Section 7.11 the product operator representations of pure ZQC and DQC were introduced, and we saw that pure DQC rotates in the x-y plane just like SQC, but at a frequency that is the sum of the frequencies of the two spins involved ...

In the second equality we have expanded the coordinate deviation <5x in normal modes coordinates, and expressed the latter using raising and lowering operators. The coefficients are defined accordingly and are assumed known. They contain the parameter a, the coefficients of the normal mode expansion and the transformation to raising/lowering operator representation. Note that the inverse square root of the volume Q of the overall system enters in the expansion of a local position coordinate in normal modes scales, hence the coefficients scale like...

Due to the form of the operator polarization matrix (142) and corresponding Stokes operators, the polarization, defined to be the spin state of photons [4,27], is not a global property of the quantum multipole radiation. Any atomic transition emits photons with given quantum number m, which yields, in view of (18), (24), and (142), the polarization of all three types depending on the distance from the atom. The structure of (152) and (154) just shows us how the photons with different m contribute into the polarization at an arbitrary point r. Using the operators (154), we can construct, for example, the local bare operator representation of the polarization matrix (142) as follows... 

In the product operator representation of multiple quantum coherences it is usual to distinguish between active and passive spins. Active spins contribute transverse operators, such as Ix, I and 7+, to the product passive spins contribute only z-operators, Iz. In a sense the spins contributing transverse operators are "involved" in the coherence, while those contributing z-operators are simply spectators. 

There is one final case, which we describe very briefly here and in more detail later. The classical description can be written in a form that is quite similar to the number operator representation in quantum mechanics. An operator 0 is assigned to molecule i, which is one if / is of type a and zero otherwise. Now, however, these operators do not themselves depend on the positions and momenta they follow a dynamics that is specified by the classical Liouville operator of the system. In particular, the Liouville operator determines the conditions under which species interconversion is possible. Hence, just as in the quantum mechanical case, the problem of the specification of the precise conditions for reaction is deferred to the Liouville operator. Section VI describes how such Liouville operators can be constructed. 

The operator representations in Eq. (2.50) or (2.62) are expressed at the level of second-order cumulant expansions. Although this approximation is an excellent one for imaginary-time calculations, real-time correlation functions are more sensitive to nonlinear interactions and hence less predictable in their behavior. In principle, however, the cumulant averages could be carried out to higher order. 

Similar situations, involving diagonal matrix algebra, are encountered when molecular discrete n-dimensional MO LCAO spaces and operator representations are studied. The formalism for these cases is discussed elsewhere [49].
