Intermediate-statistics quantum bracket, coherent state, oscillator, and representation of angular momentum (su(2)) algebra

Abstract

In this paper, we first discuss the general properties of an intermediate-statistics quantum bracket, $[u,v{]}_n=uv-e^{i2\pi /(n+1)}vu$, which corresponds to intermediate statistics in which the maximum occupation number of one quantum state is an arbitrary integer, $n$. A further study of the operator realization of intermediate statistics is given. We construct the intermediate-statistics coherent state. An intermediate-statistics oscillator is constructed, which returns to bosonic and fermionic oscillators respectively when $n\to \infty$ and $n=1$. The energy spectrum of such an intermediate-statistics oscillator is calculated. Finally, we discuss the intermediate-statistics representation of angular momentum ($su(2)$) algebra. Moreover, a further study of the operator realization of intermediate statistics is given in the Appendix.
