Bogoliubov Transformations

We introduce a concept of singular Bogoliubov transformation on the abstract boson Fock space and construct a representation of canonical commutation relations (CCRs) which is inequivalent to any direct sum of the Fock representation. Sufficient conditions for the representation to be irreducible are formulated. Moreover, an example of such representations of CCRs is given.

Planck Scale Effects

Quantum-enhanced metrology is boosting interferometer sensitivities to extraordinary levels, up to the point where table-top experiments have been proposed to measure Planck-scale effects predicted by quantum gravity theories. In setups involving multiple photon interferometers, as those for measuring the so-called holographic fluctuations, entanglement provides substantial improvements in sensitivity. Entanglement is however a fragile resource and may be endangered by decoherence phenomena. We analyze how noisy effects arising either from the weak coupling to an external environment or from the modification of the canonical commutation relations in photon propagation may affect this entanglement-enhanced gain in sensitivity.

Modified Theory

In this paper, we will analyze the consequences of deforming the canonical commutation relations consistent with the existence of a minimum length and a maximum momentum. We first generalize the deformation of first quantized canonical commutation relation to second quantized canonical commutation relation. Thus, we arrive at a modified version of second quantization. A modified Wheeler–DeWitt equation will be constructed by using this deformed second quantized canonical commutation relation. Finally, we demonstrate that in this modified theory the big bang singularity gets naturally avoided.
