Wigner, Gruppentheorie Friedrich Vieweg und Sohn, Braunschweig, Germany, 1931 , pp. 251 254 Group Theory Academic Press Inc., New York, 1959 , pp. 233 236 ref is a cornerstone of the mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics . The theorem specifies how physical symmetries such as rotations, translations, and CPT symmetry CPT act on the Hilbert space of states. According to the theorem, any symmetry acts as an unitary transformation unitary or antiunitary operator antiunitary transformation in the Hilbert space. More precisely, it states that a surjective not necessarily linear map math T H rightarrow H math on a complex Hilbert space math H math that satisfies math langle Tx,Ty rangle langle x,y rangle math for all math x,y in H math has the form math Tx varphi x Ux math for all math x in H math , where math varphi H rightarrow mathbb C math has Absolute value modulus one and math U H rightarrow H math is either unitary or antiunitary.

Any solid can be affected by the Wigner effect, but the effect is of most concern in neutron moderator s, such as graphite, that are used to slow down fast neutron s. The material surrounding the moderator receives a much smaller amount of neutron radiation, and from slower neutrons, and is not as worrisome. An interstitial atom and its associated vacancy are known as a Frenkel defect . Explanation To create the Wigner effect, neutron s that collide with the atoms in a crystal structure must have enough energy to displace them from the lattice. This amount threshold displacement energy is approximately 25 Electronvolt eV . A neutron s energy can vary widely but it is not uncommon to have energies up to and exceeding 10 MeV 10,000,000 eV in the center of a nuclear reactor .

The Wigner distribution WD was first proposed for corrections to classical statistical mechanics in 1932 by EugeneWigner . The Wigner distribution function Wigner distribution , or Wigner&ndash Ville distribution WVD for analytic signals, also has applications in time frequency analysis. Compared to the short time Fourier transform , the Wigner distribution gives better auto term localisation compared to the smeared out STFT. However when applied to a signal with multi frequency components cross terms appear due to its quadratic nature. In 1994 L. Stankovic proposed a novel technique, now mostly referred to as S method, resulting in the reduction or removal of cross terms. Mathematical definition The concept of the S method is a combination between the STFT and the Pseudo Wigner Distribution PWD , the windowed version of the WD.

The Gabor transform , named after Dennis Gabor , and the Wigner distribution function, named after EugeneWigner , are both tools for time frequency analysis . Since the Gabor transform does not have high clarity, and the Wigner distribution function has a cross term problem refDJJ2007 2 , a 2007 study by S. C. Pei and J. J. Ding proposed a new combination of the two transforms that has high clarity and no cross term problem. refDJJ2007 2 Since the cross term does not appear in the Gabor transform, the time frequency distribution of the Gabor transform can be used as a filter to filter out the cross term in the output of the Wigner distribution function.

Expert subject Physics date February 2009 Newton Wigner localization named after Theodore Duddell Newton and EugeneWigner is a scheme for obtaining a position operator for massive theory of relativity relativistic quantum particle s. It is known to largely conflict with the Reeh Schlieder theorem outside of a very limited scope. The Newton Wigner position operators x sub 1 sub , x sub 2 sub , x sub 3 sub , are the premier notion of position in relativistic quantum mechanics of a single particle. They enjoy the same commutation relations with the 3 space momentum operators and transform under rotations in the same way as the x, y, z in ordinary Quantum mechanics QM . Though formally they have the same properties with respect to p sub 1 sub , p sub 2 sub , p sub 3 sub , as the position in ordinary QM, they have additional properties. One of these is that math x i , , p 0 p i p 0 math This ensures that the free particle moves at the expected velocity with the given momentum energy. Apparently these notions were discovered when attempting to define a self adjoint operator in the relativistic setting that resembled the position operator in basic Quantum mechanics in the sense that at low momenta it approximately agreed with that operator. It also has several famous strange behaviors, one of which is seen as the motivation for having to introduce quantum field theory. References reflist Maurice Henry LeCorney Pryce M.H.L. Pryce , Proc.

Context date October 2009 The Jordan Wigner transformation is a transformation that maps Spin physics spin Operator mathematics operators onto Fermions fermionic creation and annihilation operators . It was proposed by Pascual Jordan and EugeneWigner for one dimensional Lattice model physics lattice models , but now two dimensional analogues of the transformation have also been created. The Jordan Wigner transformation is often used to exactly solve 1D spin chains such as the Ising model Ising and XY model XY models by transforming the spin operators to fermionic operators and then diagonalizing in the fermionic basis. This transformation actually shows that at least in some cases with one spatial dimension, the distinction between spin 1 2 particles and fermions is nonexistent. Analogy between spins and fermions In what follows we will show how to map a 1D spin chain of spin 1 2 particles to fermions. Take spin 1 2 Pauli operators acting on a site math j math of a 1D chain, math sigma j , sigma j , sigma j z math . Taking the anticommutator of math sigma j math and math sigma j math , we find math sigma j , sigma j 1 math , as would be expected from fermionic creation and annihilation operators. We might then be tempted to set math sigma j sigma j x i sigma j y f j dagger math math sigma j sigma j x i sigma j y f j math math sigma j z f j dagger f j frac 1 2 . math Now, we have the correct same site fermionic relations math f j dagger , f j 1 math , however, on different sites ... very seriously.

The Wigner d Espagnat inequality is a basic result of set theory . It is named for EugeneWigner and Bernard d Espagnat who as pointed out by John Stewart Bell Bell both employed it in their popularizations of quantum mechanics . Given a set S with three subsets, J, K, and L, the following holds each member of S which is a member of J, but not of L is either a member of J, but neither of K, nor of L, or else is a member of J and of K, but not of L each member of J which is neither a member of K, nor of L, is therefore a member of J, but not of K and each member of J, which is a member of K, but not of L, is therefore a member of K, but not of L. The number of members of J which are not members of L is consequently less than, or at most equal to, the sum of the number of members of J which are not members of K, and the number of members of K which are not members of L n sub incl J excl L sub n sub incl J excl K sub n sub incl K excl L sub . If the ratios N of these numbers to the number n sub incl S sub of all members of set S can be evaluated, e.g. N sub incl J excl L sub n sub incl J excl L sub n sub incl S sub , then the Wigner d Espagnat inequality is obtained as N sub incl J excl L sub N sub incl J excl K sub N sub incl K excl L sub . Considering this particular form in which the Wigner d Espagnat inequality is thereby expressed, and noting that the various non negative ratios N satisfy N sub incl J incl K sub N sub incl J excl K sub N sub excl J incl K sub N sub excl J excl K sub 1 , N sub incl J incl L sub N sub incl J excl L sub N sub excl J incl L sub N sub excl J excl ... corresponding to 1., 2. and 3., but which nevertheless don t satisfy the Wigner d Espagnat inequality ... miss C sub N sub miss B hit C sub , which is in formal contradiction to the Wigner d Espagnat inequalities ... necessarily satisfy the Wigner d Espagnat inequalities.
