Abstract

For the continuous Wigner function and for certain discrete Wigner functions, permuting the values of the Wigner function in accordance with a symplectic linear transformation is equivalent to performing a certain unitary transformation on the state. That is, performing this unitary transformation is simply a matter of moving Wigner-function values around in phase space. This result holds in particular for the simplest discrete Wigner function defined on a d×d phase space when the Hilbert-space dimension d is odd. It does not hold for a d×d phase space if the dimension is even. Here we show, though, that a generalized version of this correspondence does apply in the case of a two-qubit phase space. In this case, a symplectic linear permutation of the points of the phase space, together with a certain reinterpretation of the Wigner function, is equivalent to a unitary transformation.

解读双量子比特相空间中的交映线性变换
对于连续维格纳函数和某些离散维格纳函数来说,按照交映线性变换对维格纳函数值进行排列,就等同于对状态进行某种单元变换。也就是说,进行这种单位变换只是在相空间中移动维格纳函数值。当希尔伯特空间维数 d 为奇数时,这一结果尤其适用于定义在 d×d 相空间上的最简单离散维格纳函数。如果维数为偶数,则 d×d 相空间不成立。不过,我们在这里证明,这种对应关系的广义版本确实适用于双量子比特相空间。在这种情况下,相空间各点的交折线性排列,再加上对维格纳函数的某种重新解释,就等同于单位变换。
