Homework Statement


Currently I am doing a problem of finding Wigner function for Fock States, while I got this derivative, I found the derivative, but I am not sure my answer is correct. please verify whether my answer is correct or not.

$$ \frac{∂^2n}{∂β^n∂(β*)^n} exp(-|β|^2-4|α||β|) $$

β and α are complex.

The Attempt at a Solution


My solution is (-2|β|-4|α|)^(2n) exp(-|β|^2-4|α||β|)
 
Thank you, I found the Wigner function for Fock States in a different way. But still I don't know how to solve the differentiation I mentioned above.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
