Method of Hydrodynamic Images and Quantum Calculus in Fock-Bargmann Representation of Quantum States

Abstract

We propose a new approach to quantum states in Fock space in terms of classical hydrodynamics. By conformal mapping of complex analytic function, representing the wave function of quantum states in Fock-Bargmann representation, we define the complex potential, describing these quantum states by incompressible and irrotational classical hydrodynamic flow. In our approach, zeros of the wave function appear as a set of point vortices (sources) in plane with the same strength, allowing interpretation of them as images in a bounded domain. For the cat states we find fluid representation as descriptive of a point source in the oblique strip domain, with infinite number of periodically distributed images. For the annular domain, the infinite set of images is described by Jackson q-exponential functions. We show that these functions represent the wave functions of quantum coherent states of the q-deformed quantum oscillator in q-Fock-Bargmann representation and describe the infinite set of point vortices, distributed in geometric progression. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
