Abstract: The Segal-Bargmann transform plays an essential role in signal processing, quantum physics, infinite-dimensional analysis, function theory and further topics. The connection to signal processing is the short-time Fourier transform, which can be used to describe the Segal-Bargmann transform. The classical Segal-Bargmann transform mathcalB maps a square-integrable function to a holomorphic function square-integrable with respect to a Gaussian identity. In signal processing terms, a signal from the position space L2(mathbbRm,mathbbR) is mapped to the phase space of wave functions, or Fock space, mathcalF2(mathbbCm,mathbbC). We extend the classical Segal-Bargmann transform to a space of Clifford algebra-valued functions. We show how the Segal-Bargmann transform is related to the short-time Fourier transform and use this connection to demonstrate that mathcalB is unitary up to a constant and maps Sommen's orthonormal Clifford Hermite functions leftphil,k,jight to an orthonormal basis of the Segal-Bargmann module mathcalF2(mathbbCm,mathcalCellmmathbbC). We also lay out that the Segal-Bargmann transform can be expanded to a convergent series with a dictionary of mathcalF2(mathbbCm,mathcalCellmmathbbC). In other words, we analyse the signal f on one basis and reconstruct it on a basis of the Segal-Bargmann module.
