Hypercomplex Fock states for discrete electromagnetic Schrödinger operators: A Bayesian probability perspective

We present and study a new class of Fock states underlying to discrete electromagnetic Schrödinger operators from a multivector calculus perspective. This naturally lead to hypercomplex versions of Poisson–Charlier polynomials, Meixner polynomials, among other ones. The foundations of this work are...

Description
Summary:We present and study a new class of Fock states underlying to discrete electromagnetic Schrödinger operators from a multivector calculus perspective. This naturally lead to hypercomplex versions of Poisson–Charlier polynomials, Meixner polynomials, among other ones. The foundations of this work are based on the exploitation of the quantum probability formulation ‘à la Dirac’ to the setting of Bayesian probabilities, on which the Fock states arise as discrete quasi-probability distributions carrying a set of independent and identically distributed (i.i.d) random variables. By employing Mellin–Barnes integrals in the complex plane we obtain counterparts for the well-known multidimensional Poisson and hypergeometric distributions, as well as quasi-probability distributions that may take negative or complex values on the lattice hZn.
