SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on transforming a BCS type state, represented as \left| \Phi \right\rangle = \prod(u_k + v_k F^{\dagger}_{k} F^{\dagger}_{-k}) \left| vac \right\rangle, into real space. Participants explore the validity of transforming operators such as F^{\dagger}_k F^{\dagger}_{-k} to a^{\dagger}_{n} a^{\dagger}_{m} using multidimensional discrete Fourier transforms (FT). The conversation highlights the efficiency of this method and references Schrieffer's book on superconductivity for a wavefunction representation in direct space.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of BCS theory and its mathematical representation
  • Familiarity with Fourier transforms, particularly multidimensional discrete FT
  • Knowledge of quantum field operators, specifically creation operators like F^{\dagger} and a^{\dagger}
  • Basic concepts of wavefunctions in quantum mechanics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the application of multidimensional discrete Fourier transforms in quantum mechanics
  • Study the wavefunction representations in direct space as described in Schrieffer's "Superconductivity"
  • Explore the implications of BCS theory on superconducting states and their transformations
  • Investigate alternative methods for state transformation in quantum field theory
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, quantum mechanics students, and researchers working on superconductivity and BCS theory who seek to understand state transformations in quantum systems.

What is the most straightforward way of transforming a BCS type state, \left| \Phi \right\rangle = \prod(u_k + v_k F^{\dagger}_{k} F^{\dagger}_{-k}) \left| vac \right\rangle, to real space?

Would it be valid to transform states of the form

F^{\dagger}_k F^{\dagger}_{-k} \longrightarrow a^{\dagger}_{n} a^{\dagger}_{m},~~~~F^{\dagger}_{k_1} F^{\dagger}_{-k_1} F^{\dagger}_{k_2} F^{\dagger}_{-k_2} \longrightarrow a^{\dagger}_{n} a^{\dagger}_{m} a^{\dagger}_{p} a^{\dagger}_{q}, ~~ etc.,

separately using multidimensional discrete FT? Is there an easier/more efficient way? Thanks for your help!
