SU(3) phase states and finite Fourier transform
arXiv:1110.5393 · doi:10.1088/0031-8949/2012/T147/014032
Abstract
We describe the construction of SU(3) phase operators using Fourier-like transform on a hexagonal lattice. The advantages and disadvantages of this approach are contrasted with other results, in particular with the more traditional approach based on polar decomposition of operators.
