- Title
- Gaussian quantum operator representation for bosons
- Author(s)
- Corney, Joel F.; Drummond, P. D.
- Abstract
- An overview is given of several operator representations that represent the largest class of bosonic representations that can be constructed using an operator basis that is Gaussian in the elementary annihilation and creation operators. In this sense, they give an appropriate generalization to the phase-space methods that started with the Wigner representation. There are a number of advantages inherent in this enlarged class.
