Notes on qubit phase space and discrete symplectic structures
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: We start from Wootter's construction of discrete phase spaces and Wigner functions for qubits and more generally for finite dimensional Hilbert spaces. We look at this framework from a non-commutative space perspective and we focus on the Moyal product and the differential calculus on the discrete phase spaces. In particular, the qubit phase space provides the simplest example of a four-point non-commutative phase space. We give an explicit expression of the Moyal bracket as a differential operator. We then compare the quantum dynamics encoded by the Moyal bracket to the classical dynamics: we show that the classical Poisson bracket does not satisfy the Jacobi identity thus leaving the Moyal bracket as the only consistent symplectic structure. We finally generalizes our analysis to Hilbert spaces of prime dimensions d and their associated d*d phase spaces.
