Common eigenstates of two particles' center-of-mass coordinates and mass-weighted relative momentum

Normal product form of two-mode Wigner operator

In the context of normal product, we use the method of the integration within an ordered product (IWOP) of operators to derive three representations of the two-mode Wigner operator: SU(2) symmetric description, SU(1,1) symmetric description and polar coordinate form. We find that two-mode Wigner operator has multiple potential degrees of freedom. As the physical meaning of the selected integral variable changes, Wigner operator shows different symmetries. In particular, in the case of polar coordinates, we reveal the natural connection between the two-mode Wigner operator and the entangled state representation.

Talbot effect in a quadratic-index medium studied with two-variable Hermite polynomials and entangled states

We have found the new eigenmodes, two-variable Hermite polynomials, exist in propagating plane waves in quadratic-index media and that a two-dimensional Talbot effect can be demonstrated with these modes.

Fractional Hankel transform studied by charge-amplitude state representations and complex fractional Fourier transformation

Starting from a complex fractional Fourier transformation [Opt. Lett. 28, 680 (2003)], it is shown that the integral kernel of a fractional Hankel transformation is equivalent to the matrix element of an appropriate operator in the charge-amplitude state representations; i.e., the fractional Hankel transformation is endowed with a definite physical meaning (definite quantum-mechanical representation transform).

Eigenmodes of fractional Hankel transform derived by the entangled-state method

Using the entangled-state method in quantum mechanics, we find that the eigenmodes of the fractional Hankel transform are two-variable Hermite-Gaussian functions that can be rewritten in a clearer form as Laguerre polynominals.
