The Fock-Darwin-Darboux system: eigenstates, information entropies and dispersion-like measures

The Fock-Darwin (FD) quantum system describes the motion on the plane of a charged particle under the action of an isotropic oscillator potential together with a perpendicular constant magnetic field. When the isotropic oscillator is suppressed, the FD system leads to the Landau Hamiltonian with infinitely degenerate Landau levels. The Fock-Darwin-Darboux (FDD) system is the generalisation of the FD system to a particle moving on the Darboux III space, which is a conformally flat surface with non-constant negative curvature. We present a systematic study of some information-theoretic entropy and dispersion-like measures for these quantum systems. Since both systems are exactly solvable, analytical expressions for Shannon, Rényi and Tsallis entropies, among others, can be obtained. We show that for the FD system, its information-theoretic measures are formally the same as the ones for the harmonic oscillator, provided a modified effective frequency depending on the magnetic field is introduced. In the FDD case, the nonlinear nature of the underlying manifold precludes the existence of a simple closed form for the wave-function on momentum space, which is numerically analysed. We compare the numerical behaviour of the different entropy measures and we analyse the interplay arising in the FDD system between the curvature parameter and the magnetic field. In particular, it is shown that the Landau system on the Darboux III space has no infinitely degenerate Landau levels.

Universal $T$-matrices for quantum Poincaré groups: contractions and quantum reference frames

Universal $T$-matrices, or Hopf algebra dual forms, for quantum groups are revisited, and their contraction theory is developed. As a first illustrative example, the (1+1) timelike $κ$-Poincaré $T$-matrix is explicitly worked out. Afterwards, motivated by recent results on the role of the Hopf algebra dual form of a quantum (1+1) centrally extended Galilei group as the algebraic object underlying non-relativistic quantum reference frame transformations, a new quantum deformation of the (1+1) centrally extended Poincaré Lie algebra is obtained, and its universal $T$-matrix is presented. Finally, the Hopf algebra dual form contraction is applied to this Poincaré $T$-matrix, showing that its corresponding non-relativistic counterpart is precisely the Galilei $T$-matrix associated with quantum reference frames. In this way, the Poincaré Hopf algebra dual form introduced here stands as a natural candidate for describing the symmetry structure of relativistic quantum reference frame transformations. In the appropriate basis, the associated quantum Poincaré group is recognized, remarkably, as a non-trivial central extension of the (1+1) spacelike $κ$-Poincaré dual Hopf algebra.

Deformations of the symmetric subspace of qubit chains

The symmetric subspace of multi-qubit systems, that is, the space of states invariant under permutations, is commonly encountered in applications in the context of quantum information and communication theory. It is known that the symmetric subspace can be described in terms of irreducible representations of the group $SU(2)$, whose representation spaces form a basis of symmetric states, the so-called Dicke states. In this work, we present deformations of the symmetric subspace as deformations of this group structure, which are promoted to a quantum group $\mathcal{U}_q(\mathfrak{su}(2))$. We see that deformations of the symmetric subspace obtained in this manner correspond to local deformations of the inner product of each spin, in such a way that departure from symmetry can be encoded in a position-dependent inner product. The consequences and possible extensions of these results are also discussed.

Generalized classical and quantum Zernike Hamiltonians

A superintegrable generalization of the classical and quantum Zernike systems is reviewed. The corresponding Hamiltonians are endowed with higher-order integrals and can be interpreted as higher-order superintegrable perturbations of the 2D spherical (Higgs), hyperbolic, and Euclidean harmonic oscillators. As a new result, the complete polynomial Higgs-type symmetry algebra of the generalized classical system is presented. For the generalized quantum system, the symmetry algebra and the spectra are provided for a representative case.

Rényi and Tsallis information entropies for the Darboux III quantum nonlinear oscillator

The Darboux III oscillator is an exactly solvable $N$-dimensional nonlinear oscillator defined on a radially symmetric space with non-constant negative curvature. Its one-dimensional version can be seen as a position dependent mass system whose mass function $μ= (1 + λx^2)$ depends on the nonlinearity parameter $λ$, such that in the limit $λ\to 0$ the harmonic oscillator is recovered. In this paper, a detailed study of the entropic moments and of the Rényi and Tsallis information entropies for the quantum version of the one-dimensional Darboux III oscillator is presented. In particular, analytical expressions for the aforementioned quantities in position space are obtained. Since the Fourier transform of the Darboux III wave functions does not admit a closed form expression, a numerical analysis of these quantities has been performed. Throughout the paper the interplay between the entropy parameter $α$ and the nonlinearity parameter $λ$ is analysed, and known results for the Shannon entropy of the Darboux III and for the Rényi and Tsallis entropies of the harmonic oscillator are recovered in the limits $α\to 1$ and $λ\to 0$, respectively. Finally, motivated by the strong non-linear effects arising when large values of $λ$ and/or highly excited states are considered, an approximation to the probability density function valid in those regimes is presented. From it, an analytical approximation to the probability density in momentum space can be obtained, and some of the previously observed effects arising from the interplay between $α$ and $λ$ can be explained.

Unimodularity and invariant volume forms for Hamiltonian dynamics on coisotropic Poisson homogeneous spaces

In this paper, we introduce the notion of a multiplicative unimodularity for a coisotropic Poisson homogeneous space. Then, we discuss the unimodularity and the multiplicative unimodularity for these spaces and the existence of an invariant volume form for explicit Hamiltonian systems on such spaces. Several interesting examples illustrating the theoretical results are also presented.

Integrable deformations of Rikitake systems, Lie bialgebras and bi-Hamiltonian structures

Integrable deformations of a class of Rikitake dynamical systems are constructed by deforming their underlying Lie-Poisson Hamiltonian structures, which are considered linearizations of Poisson--Lie structures on certain (dual) Lie groups. By taking into account that there exists a one-to one correspondence between Poisson--Lie groups and Lie bialgebra structures, a number of deformed Poisson coalgebras can be obtained, which allow the construction of integrable deformations of coupled Rikitake systems. Moreover, the integrals of the motion for these coupled systems can be explicitly obtained by means of the deformed coproduct map. The same procedure can be also applied when the initial system is bi-Hamiltonian with respect to two different Lie-Poisson algebras. In this case, to preserve a bi-Hamiltonian structure under deformation, a common Lie bialgebra structure for the two Lie-Poisson structures has to be found. Coupled dynamical systems arising from this bi-Hamiltonian deformation scheme are also presented, and the use of collective `cluster variables', turns out to be enlightening in order to analyse their dynamical behaviour. As a general feature, the approach here presented provides a novel connection between Lie bialgebras and integrable dynamical systems.

Noncommutative spacetimes versus noncommutative spaces of geodesics

The aim of this contribution is twofold. First, we show that when two (or more) different quantum groups share the same noncommutative spacetime, such an 'ambiguity' can be resolved by considering together their corresponding noncommutative spaces of geodesics. In any case, the latter play a mathematical/physical role by themselves and, in some cases, they can be interpreted as deformed phase spaces. Second, we explicitly show that noncommutative spacetimes can be reproduced from 'extended' noncommutative spaces of geodesics which are those enlarged by the time translation generator. These general ideas are described in detail for the $κ$-Poincaré and $κ$-Galilei algebras.

Higher-order superintegrable momentum-dependent Hamiltonians on curved spaces from the classical Zernike system

We consider the classical momentum- or velocity-dependent two-dimensional Hamiltonian given by $$\mathcal H_N = p_1^2 + p_2^2 +\sum_{n=1}^N γ_n(q_1 p_1 + q_2 p_2)^n ,$$ where $q_i$ and $p_i$ are generic canonical variables, $γ_n$ are arbitrary coefficients, and $N\in \mathbb N$. For $N=2$, being both $γ_1,γ_2$ different from zero, this reduces to the classical Zernike system. We prove that $\mathcal H_N$ always provides a superintegrable system (for any value of $γ_n$ and $N$) by obtaining the corresponding constants of the motion explicitly, which turn out to be of higher-order in the momenta. Such generic results are not only applied to the Euclidean plane, but also to the sphere and the hyperbolic plane. In the latter curved spaces, $\mathcal H_N $ is expressed in geodesic polar coordinates showing that such a new superintegrable Hamiltonian can be regarded as a superposition of the isotropic 1:1 curved (Higgs) oscillator with even-order anharmonic curved oscillators plus another superposition of higher-order momentum-dependent potentials. Furthermore, the symmetry algebra determined by the constants of the motion is also studied, giving rise to a $(2N-1)$th-order polynomial algebra. As a byproduct, the Hamiltonian $\mathcal H_N $ is interpreted as a family of superintegrable perturbations of the classical Zernike system. Finally, it is shown that $\mathcal H_N$ (and so the Zernike system as well) is endowed with a Poisson $\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb R)$-coalgebra symmetry which would allow for further possible generalizations that are also discussed.

Shannon information entropy for a quantum nonlinear oscillator on a space of non-constant curvature

The so-called Darboux III oscillator is an exactly solvable $N$-dimensional nonlinear oscillator defined on a radially symmetric space with non-constant negative curvature. This oscillator can be interpreted as a smooth (super)integrable deformation of the usual $N$-dimensional harmonic oscillator in terms of a non-negative parameter $λ$ which is directly related to the curvature of the underlying space. In this paper, a detailed study of the Shannon information entropy for the quantum version of the Darboux III oscillator is presented, and the interplay between entropy and curvature is analysed. In particular, analytical results for the Shannon entropy in the position space can be found in the $N$-dimensional case, and the known results for the quantum states of the $N$-dimensional harmonic oscillator are recovered in the limit of vanishing curvature $λ\to 0$. However, the Fourier transform of the Darboux III wave functions cannot be computed in exact form, thus preventing the analytical study of the information entropy in momentum space. Nevertheless, we have computed the latter numerically both in the one and three-dimensional cases and we have found that by increasing the absolute value of the negative curvature (through a larger $λ$ parameter) the information entropy in position space increases, while in momentum space it becomes smaller. This result is indeed consistent with the spreading properties of the wave functions of this quantum nonlinear oscillator, which are explicitly shown. The sum of the entropies in position and momentum spaces has been also analysed in terms of the curvature: for all excited states such total entropy decreases with $λ$, but for the ground state the total entropy is minimised when $λ$ vanishes, and the corresponding uncertainty relation is always fulfilled.

A general approach to noncommutative spaces from Poisson homogeneous spaces: Applications to (A)dS and Poincaré

In this contribution we present a general procedure that allows the construction of noncommutative spaces with quantum group invariance as the quantization of their associated coisotropic Poisson homogeneous spaces coming from a coboundary Lie bialgebra structure. The approach is illustrated by obtaining in an explicit form several noncommutative spaces from (3+1)D (A)dS and Poincaré coisotropic Lie bialgebras. In particular, we review the construction of the $κ$-Minkowski and $κ$-(A)dS spacetimes in terms of the cosmological constant $Λ$. Furthermore, we present all noncommutative Minkowski and (A)dS spacetimes that preserved a quantum Lorentz subgroup. Finally, it is also shown that the same setting can be used to construct the three possible 6D $κ$-Poincaré spaces of time-like. Some open problems are also addressed.

$κ$-Galilean and $κ$-Carrollian noncommutative spaces of worldlines

The noncommutative spacetimes associated to the $κ$-Poincaré relativistic symmetries and their "non-relativistic" (Galilei) and "ultra-relativistic" (Carroll) limits are indistinguishable, since their coordinates satisfy the same algebra. In this work, we show that the three quantum kinematical models can be differentiated when looking at the associated spaces of time-like worldlines. Specifically, we construct the noncommutative spaces of time-like geodesics with $κ$-Galilei and $κ$-Carroll symmetries as contractions of the corresponding $κ$-Poincaré space and we show that these three spaces are defined by different algebras. In particular, the $κ$-Galilei space of worldlines resembles the so-called Euclidean Snyder model, while the $κ$-Carroll space turns out to be commutative. Furthermore, we identify the map between quantum spaces of geodesics and the corresponding noncommutative spacetimes, which requires to extend the space of geodesics by adding the noncommutative time coordinate.

All noncommutative spaces of $κ$-Poincaré geodesics

Noncommutative spaces of geodesics provide an alternative way of introducing noncommutative relativistic kinematics endowed with quantum group symmetry. In this paper we present explicitly the seven noncommutative spaces of time-, space- and light-like geodesics that can be constructed from the time-, space- and light- versions of the $κ$-Poincaré quantum symmetry in (3+1) dimensions. Remarkably enough, only for the light-like (or null-plane) $κ$-Poincaré deformation the three types of noncommutative spaces of geodesics can be constructed, while for the time-like and space-like deformations both the quantum time-like and space-like geodesics can be defined, but not the light-like one. This obstruction comes from the constraint imposed by the coisotropy condition for the corresponding deformation with respect to the isotropy subalgebra associated to the given space of geodesics, since all these quantum spaces are constructed as quantizations of the corresponding classical coisotropic Poisson homogeneous spaces. The known quantum space of geodesics on the light cone is given by a five-dimensional homogeneous quadratic algebra, and the six nocommutative spaces of time-like and space-like geodesics are explicitly obtained as six-dimensional nonlinear algebras. Five out of these six spaces are here presented for the first time, and Darboux generators for all of them are found, thus showing that the quantum deformation parameter $κ^{-1}$ plays exactly the same algebraic role on quantum geodesics as the Planck constant $\hbar$ plays in the usual phase space description of quantum mechanics.

The noncommutative space of light-like worldlines

The noncommutative space of light-like worldlines that is covariant under the light-like (or null-plane) $κ$-deformation of the (3+1) Poincaré group is fully constructed as the quantization of the corresponding Poisson homogeneous space of null geodesics. This new noncommutative space of geodesics is five-dimensional, and turns out to be defined as a quadratic algebra that can be mapped to a non-central extension of the direct sum of two Heisenberg-Weyl algebras whose noncommutative parameter is just the Planck scale parameter $κ^{-1}$. Moreover, it is shown that the usual time-like $κ$-deformation of the Poincaré group does not allow the construction of the Poisson homogeneous space of light-like worldlines. Therefore, the most natural choice in order to model the propagation of massless particles on a quantum Minkowski spacetime seems to be provided by the light-like $κ$-deformation.

Fuzzy worldlines with $κ$-Poincaré symmetries

A novel approach to study the properties of models with quantum-deformed relativistic symmetries relies on a noncommutative space of worldlines rather than the usual noncommutative spacetime. In this setting, spacetime can be reconstructed as the set of events, that are identified as the crossing of different worldlines. We lay down the basis for this construction for the $κ$-Poincaré model, analyzing the fuzzy properties of $κ$-deformed time-like worldlines and the resulting fuzziness of the reconstructed events.

Noncommutative (A)dS and Minkowski spacetimes from quantum Lorentz subgroups

The complete classification of classical $r$-matrices generating quantum deformations of the (3+1)-dimensional (A)dS and Poincaré groups such that their Lorentz sector is a quantum subgroup is presented. It is found that there exists three classes of such $r$-matrices, one of them being a novel two-parametric one. The (A)dS and Minkowskian Poisson homogeneous spaces corresponding to these three deformations are explicitly constructed in both local and ambient coordinates. Their quantization is performed, thus giving rise to the associated noncommutative spacetimes, that in the Minkowski case are naturally expressed in terms of quantum null-plane coordinates, and they are always defined by homogeneous quadratic algebras. Finally, non-relativistic and ultra-relativistic limits giving rise to novel Newtonian and Carrollian noncommutative spacetimes are also presented.

Cayley-Klein Lie bialgebras: Noncommutative spaces, Drinfel'd doubles and kinematical applications

The Cayley-Klein (CK) formalism is applied to the real algebra ${so}(5)$ by making use of four graded contraction parameters describing in a unified setting 81 Lie algebras, which cover the (anti-)de Sitter, Poincaré, Newtonian and Carrollian algebras. Starting with the Drinfel'd-Jimbo real Lie bialgebra for ${so}(5)$ together with its Drinfel'd double structure, we obtain the corresponding CK bialgebra and the CK $r$-matrix coming from a Drinfel'd double. As a novelty, we construct the (first-order) noncommutative CK spaces of points, lines, 2-planes and 3-hyperplanes, studying their structural properties. By requiring to deal with real structures, it comes out that there exist 63 specific real Lie bialgebras together with their sets of four noncommutative spaces. Furthermore, we find 14 classical $r$-matrices coming from Drinfel'd doubles, obtaining new results for the de Sitter ${so}(4,1)$ and anti-de Sitter ${so}(3,2)$ and for some of their contractions. These geometric results are exhaustively applied onto the (3+1)D kinematical algebras, not only considering the usual (3+1)D spacetime but also the 6D space of lines. We establish different assignations between the geometrical CK generators and the kinematical ones which convey physical identifications for the CK contraction parameters in terms of the cosmological constant/curvature $Λ$ and speed of light $c$. We finally obtain four classes of kinematical $r$-matrices together with their noncommutative spacetimes and spaces of lines, comprising all $κ$-deformations as particular cases.

Coisotropic Lie bialgebras and complementary dual Poisson homogeneous spaces

Quantum homogeneous spaces are noncommutative spaces with quantum group covariance. Their semiclassical counterparts are Poisson homogeneous spaces, which are quotient manifolds of Lie groups $M=G/H$ equipped with an additional Poisson structure $π$ which is compatible with a Poisson-Lie structure $Π$ on $G$. Since the infinitesimal version of $Π$ defines a unique Lie bialgebra structure $δ$ on the Lie algebra $\frak g=\mbox{Lie}(G)$, we exploit the idea of Lie bialgebra duality in order to study the notion of complementary dual homogeneous space $M^\perp=G^\ast/H^\perp$ of a given homogeneous space $M$ with respect to a coisotropic Lie bialgebra. Then, by considering the natural notions of reductive and symmetric homogeneous spaces, we extend these concepts to $M^\perp$ thus showing that an even richer duality framework between $M$ and $M^\perp$ arises from them. In order to analyse physical implications of these notions, the case of $M$ being a Minkowski or (Anti-) de Sitter Poisson homogeneous spacetime is fully studied, and the corresponding complementary dual reductive and symmetric spaces $M^\perp$ are explicitly constructed in the case of the well-known $κ$-deformation, where the cosmological constant $Λ$ is introduced as an explicit parameter in order to describe all Lorentzian spaces simultaneously. In particular, the fact that $M^\perp$ is a reductive space is shown to provide a natural condition for the representation theory of the quantum analogue of $M$ that ensures the existence of physically meaningful uncertainty relations between the noncommutative spacetime coordinates. Finally, despite these dual spaces $M^\perp$ are not endowed in general with a $G^\ast$-invariant metric, we show that their geometry can be described by making use of $K$-structures.
