Theorems in quantum mechanics

Optical equivalence theorem

The optical equivalence theorem in quantum optics asserts an equivalence between the expectation value of an operator in Hilbert space and the expectation value of its associated function in the phase space formulation with respect to a quasiprobability distribution. The theorem was first reported by George Sudarshan in 1963 for normally ordered operators and generalized later that decade to any ordering. Let Ω be an ordering of the non-commutative creation and annihilation operators, and let be an operator that is expressible as a power series in the creation and annihilation operators that satisfies the ordering Ω. Then the optical equivalence theorem is succinctly expressed as Here, α is understood to be the eigenvalue of the annihilation operator on a coherent state and is replaced formally in the power series expansion of g. The left side of the above equation is an expectation value in the Hilbert space whereas the right hand side is an expectation value with respect to the quasiprobability distribution. We may write each of these explicitly for better clarity. Let be the density operator and be the ordering reciprocal to Ω. The quasiprobability distribution associated with Ω is given, then, at least formally, by The above framed equation becomes For example, let Ω be the normal order. This means that g can be written in a power series of the following form: The quasiprobability distribution associated with the normal order is the Glauber-Sudarshan P representation. In these terms, we arrive at This theorem implies the formal equivalence between expectation values of normally ordered operators in quantum optics and the corresponding complex numbers in classical optics.

Cosets and equivalence class proof

Now that we have shown that the relation on G is an equivalence relation ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7OgJi6o9po ), we can go on to prove that the equivalence class containing an element is the same as the corresponding set on H (a subset of G).

Please Subscribe here, thank you!!! https://goo.gl/JQ8Nys Equivalence Relation on a Group Two Proofs. Given a group G and a subgroup H of G, we prove that the relation x=y if xy^{-1} is in H is an equivalence relation on G. Then cosets are defined and we prove that s_1 = s_2 iff [s_1] = [s
