Higher moments of phase operators and random walks with absorbing boundaries.
- Abstract:
-
It is shown that a mapping between the matrix elements of moments of the phase-related cos and sin operators C and S of the simple harmonic oscillator and the probabilities arising from random walks with absorbing boundaries may be established. Such a mapping may be used to calculate the expectation values of positive integer powers of the operators C and S. Using the power-series expansions for sin-1 and (sin-1)2 the variance of the operator (sin-1S), when the oscillator is in a number state...
