With this concept we are forced to re-consider the cluster property which means that one event is irrelevant to another event when they are fully far away. In the recent works we showed that the quasi-degenerate states induce the violation of cluster property in antiferromagnets when the continuous symmetry breaks spontaneously. We expect that the violation of cluster property will be observed in other materials too, because the spontaneous symmetry breaking is found in many systems such as the high temperature superconductors and the superfluidity. In order to examine the cluster property for these materials, we studied a quantum nonlinear sigma model with U(1) symmetry in the previous work. There we showed that the model does have quasi-degenerate states. In this paper we study the quantum nonlinear sigma model with SU(2) symmetry. In our approach we first define the quantum system on the lattice and then adopt the representation where the kinetic term is diagonalized. Since we have no definition on the conjugate variable to the angle variable, we use the angular momentum operators instead for the kinetic term. In this representation we introduce the states with the fixed quantum numbers and carry out numerical calculations using quantum Monte Carlo methods and other methods. Through analytical and numerical studies, we conclude that the energy of the quasi-degenerate state is proportional to the squared total angular momentum as well as to the inverse of the lattice size.展开更多

The definition of higher order SU(1,1) squeezing is introduced in terms of higher order uncertainty relation. For two possible bosonic realizations of SU(1,1) Lie algebra, the second , fourth and sixth order SU(1,1) squeezing are examined in detail. It is shown that the SU(1,1) generalized coherent states can be squeezed to not only second order, but also fourth and sixth order. Hence, it follows that the higher order squeezing will occur for the fluctuations of the square of amplitude in squeezed vacuum. SU(1,1) higher order squeezing is a kind of non classical property which is independent of second order squeezing.展开更多
