Extension of Lorentz Group Representations for Chiral Fermions Robert Y. Levine∗ Spectral Sciences, Inc., Burlington, MA, USA James Y-K. Cho† School of Mathematical Sciences, Queen Mary, University of London, Mile End Road, London E1 4NS, UK (Dated: 18 March 2008) Abstract We derive a formulation of the Naimark extension for Dirac spinors. Non-commuting rotation (spin) and boost generators are extended by first grouping operators into left and right handed pairs and then defining ancillary spin-1/2 vacuum meters for the three space dimensions. The result is an explicit example of a recently-proposed theory, in which the extension of the Lorentz group to commuting operators is an underlying structure for three generations of elementary fermions. We suggest that the extension appears at the scale of the weak vector bosons, through the CabibboKobayashi-Maskawa matrix in the W ± couplings and SU (2)L ×U (1)-generated left-right mixing in the Z 0 coupling. PACS numbers: 03.65.BZ Keywords: entangled simultaneous quantum measurement, Naimark extension, lepton/quark generations 1 Gauge Institute Journal Volume 6, No 1, February 2010 2 INTRODUCTION The principles of quantum measurement are at the foundation of particle physics. For example, particle spin and momentum assignments are determined by quantum representations of the Lorentz group [1], and quantum electrodynamics as a local U (1) gauge theory emerges naturally from the phase invariance of quantum observables. However, this close association of particles and quantum measurement appears unconnected in the broader standard model. In particular, the existence of three fermionic generations and non-Abelian gauge theory interactions are independent of quantum representation theory. The specific generational and isospin structures in the standard model are seemingly not constrained by quantum theoretical foundations. In this paper we describe the particle states and decay patterns that arise at the scale of the weak interaction when explicit connections are made between the standard model and the theories of quantum representation and measurement. In particular, we show that quantum representation theory can be generalized to explain fermionic generations from the requirement that the Lorentz group operators are represented on distinguishable fermionic states. Quark and lepton fermionic generations create representations of the Lorentz group that extend standard particle quantum number assignments. Entanglements of particle quantum states are integral to this extended representation and involve the weak interaction bosons {Z 0 , W ± }. The Z 0 boson entangles left and right handed fermions within each generation, and the W ± bosons provide entanglements between generations. The Z 0 entanglement is directly through the SU (2)L ×U (1) fermionic current, whereas the W ± entanglement mechanism is more subtle. The latter is through the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix: right handed quark spectators, in a density matrix representation of left handed W ± -mediated decays, lead naturally to CKM quark mixings. NAIMARK EXTENSIONS Extended quantum representations and entanglements require augmenting observable operators through the introduction of vacuum ‘meter’ states, in a procedure known as Naimark extension [2–4]. The basic idea of the extension, applied to a coupled harmonic oscillator, has been first introduced by Arthurs and Kelly [5]. Non-commuting system momentum p Gauge Institute Journal Volume 6, No 1, February 2010 3 and position q operators are extended to commuting operators, θ1 = p + P θ2 = q − Q , where P and Q are the momentum and position operators of an entirely independent ‘meter’ harmonic oscillator. The meter harmonic oscillator is in the vacuum state |0i with vanishing expectation values, h0|P |0i and h0|Q|0i. The combined, system and meter, state is given by |ψi|0i; and, the fact that [θ1 , θ2 ] is zero implies that the expectations, hψ|p|ψi and hψ|q|ψi, can be obtained simultaneously in this scheme. From the standpoint of the original (p, q) system, the Naimark extension provides a realization of the phase space picture of quantum mechanics, which can be viewed as equivalent to the Schrödinger or Heisenberg pictures [6]. Theoretical constructions—such as coherent, squeezed coherent, and Bloch states—are more naturally described in the phase space picture [7]. The experimental implementation of squeezed coherent states requires the ancillary Hilbert spaces of a Naimark extension [8, 9]. Based on this more complete description of a particle state, Levine and Dannon [2] have argued that the above extension represents the correct definition of system position and momentum measurement. Examples of simultaneous measurement for non-relativistic position and momentum, as well as spin, have been derived in earlier works by Levine and Tucci [10, 11]. Here we explicitly derive the Naimark extension for Dirac spinors. We show that the extension of spin and boost operators for spin-1/2 particles falls naturally into three generations of left and right handed fermions, the starting point of the standard model for the weak interaction [12, 13]. In addition, we suggest that left-right mixing (revealed in Z 0 couplings) and CKM inter-generational mixing (revealed in W ± couplings) are together the phenomenology of a Lorentz group Naimark extension. The two-quark states used to derive CKM mixings are motivated by constructions in quantum information theory. DIRAC SPINORS AND THE LORENTZ GROUP Consider relativistic fermions described as Dirac 4-spinors. The system is uniquely prescribed by non-commuting spin operators (notation as in Ref. [13]), σi 0 Σi = , i = 1, 2, 3 , 0 σi (1) Gauge Institute Journal Volume 6, No 1, February 2010 4 [and] the generators of infinitesimal spin rotations and boosts[,] a+ Si (β) = where a± = q 1 (γ 2 a− σi a− σi a+ , i = 1, 2, 3 , (2) √ ± 1) with γ = 1/ 1 − β 2 and β = v/c. Infinitesimal boost generators are defined in the limit β ¿ 1. To first order in β, we have Si (β) = 1 − 21 β γ5 Σi , where (3) 0 1 γ5 = . 1 0 (4) The matrices γ5 Σi form a boost generator set, {γ5 Σ1 , γ5 Σ2 , γ5 Σ3 } . The total set of operators, {Σ1 , Σ2 , Σ3 , γ5 Σ1 , γ5 Σ2 , γ5 Σ3 } , generate spin rotations and boosts that uniquely prescribe the fermion state. The condition, [γ5 , Σi ] = 0 , yields commutation relations for the full operator set—given by [Σi , Σj ] = 2i²ijk Σk , (5) [Σi , γ5 Σj ] = 2i²ijk γ5 Σk , (6) [γ5 Σi , γ5 Σj ] = 2i²ijk Σk , (7) and for i, j, k ∈ {1, 2, 3}. The operators and commutation relations in Eqs. (5)–(7) define the classic spin-1/2 Lorentz group. Gauge Institute Journal Volume 6, No 1, February 2010 5 NAIMARK EXTENSION OF DIRAC SPINORS The Naimark extension of Eqs. (5)–(7) is constructed by first defining mutually commuting pairs, ½ ¾ 1 (1 2 + γ5 )Σi , 1 (1 2 − γ5 )Σi , i = 1, 2, 3 , (8) of separate left and right handed operators, and then carrying operators with different i-values on different independent fermions. In Refs. [10] and [11], for non-relativistic position/momentum and spin, a distinction is made between quantum measurements entirely on vacuum meters and measurements in which the original system participates. An example of the latter case that allows simultaneity for relativistic spin and momentum reduces to the problem of finding entangled Hilbert spaces in which non-commuting observables reside on distinguishable quarks. The spin and momentum properties of a single quark require two other vacuum quarks to act as the meters. The final Naimark extension is given by 1 (1 2 1 (1 2 + γ5 )Σ1 − γ5 )Σ1 1 (1 2 1 (1 2 + γ5 )Σ̄2 − γ5 )Σ̄2 1 (1 2 1 (1 2 ¯ + γ5 )Σ̄ 3 ¯ − γ5 )Σ̄ 3 , (9) where each component i = 1, 2, 3 is represented in a different fermionic generation. Here, the different generations are denoted by a different number of operator overbars. Note that the expectation values of 1 (1 2 ± γ5 )Σi = 1 (1 2 ± γ5 ) Σi 12 (1 ± γ5 ) (10) for i = 1, 2, 3 are equivalent to a two-step process in which the state |ψi is projected onto left (L) or right (R) components, |ψiL = 1 (1 2 − γ5 ) |ψi |ψiR = 1 (1 2 + γ5 ) |ψi, and the expectation value of the spin operator follows. FERMIONIC REPRESENTATIONS OF LORENTZ NAIMARK EXTENSION AND ENTANGLEMENTS DUE TO VECTOR BOSONS The pattern in Eq. (9), a Naimark extension of the Lorentz group of spin and boost operators, suggests an underlying representational structure for known massive fermions Gauge Institute Journal Volume 6, No 1, February 2010 given by eR µR τR , eL µL τL (11) uR cR tR , uL cL tL and 6 (12) dR sR bR , dL sL bL (13) with a similar pattern for left handed (massless) neutrinos. In addition to mutual commutativity via ancillary Hilbert spaces, observable simultaneity requires entanglement with vacuum meters. The mixings among the patterns in Eqs. (11)– (13) are an indication that this extended quantum representation appears at the time-space scale of the weak interaction. As described in Ref. [14], entanglement for quarks arises from the diagonalization of the couplings to Higgs particles expressed as rotations, f~R0 = Wu(d) · f~R (14) f~L0 = Uu(d) · f~L , (15) and where u(d) corresponds to up(down) quarks and f~ = (f 1 , f 2 , f 3 ) T corresponds to triplets (u, c, t) and (d, s, b). The CKM matrix, Uu† Ud , is the only observable mixing across generations in the standard model—as revealed in W ± -mediated left handed processes. This inter-generational mixing is not observable in neutral currents coupled to Z 0 . However, in the standard model hypercharge provides a mixing of left and right handed fermions that is observable in Z 0 coupling—but not observable in the left-isospin coupled W ± bosons. The Z 0 boson couples to the neutral fermionic current, j0µ = f¯γ µ (Cv − Ca γ 5 )f, (16) where Cv and Ca are dependent on the fermion type, and Cv further depends on the weak angle θw ≈ 28.7o (Note that, for left handed neutrinos, there is no left-right mixing via Cv Gauge Institute Journal Volume 6, No 1, February 2010 7 and Ca ). The expression in Eq. (16) can be written as a pure vector current F̄ γ µ F , where F = η1 fL + η2 fR (17) with 1q Cv + Ca , X 1q = Cv − Ca , X η1 = η2 and q X = |Cv + Ca |2 + |Cv − Ca |2 . Equation (17) demonstrates that Z 0 coupling involves an entanglement between left and right handed quarks. Accordingly, without Z 0 interaction, right handed quarks exist as spectators to W ± -mediated isospin-changing transitions in a left handed quark Hilbert space. This condition leads to the observed Cabibbo-like entanglement. For example, considering only the first two generations of up-type (up, charm) and down-type (down, strange) quarks, a two-quark input state to W ± and Z 0 decays is given by |ψi = βd |dL d0R 0i + βs |sL s0R 0i + βu |uL u0R 0i + βc |cL c0R 0i , (18) where βd2 + βs2 + βu2 + βc2 = 1, and |0i represents the vacuum in a boson Hilbert space E given by { |Z 0 i, |W + i, |W − i, |0i }. If we assume that the W ± decays are described by a unitary operator V , then the output state is given by |ψ 0 i = V |ψi = βd hdL d0R 0|V |dL d0R 0i |dL d0R 0i + βd hdL d0R Z 0 |V |dL d0R 0i|dL d0R Z 0 i + βs hsL s0R 0|V |sL s0R 0i |sL s0R 0i + βs hsL s0R Z 0 |V |sL s0R 0i |sL s0R Z 0 i + βu huL u0R 0|V |uL u0R 0i |uL u0R 0i + βu huL u0R Z 0 |V |uL u0R 0i |uL u0R Z 0 i + βc hcL c0R 0|V |cL c0R 0i |cL c0R 0i + βc hcL c0R Z 0 |V |cL c0R 0i |cL c0R Z 0 i + βd ( huL W − |V |dL 0i |uL i + hcL W − |V |dL 0i |cL i ) |d0R W − i + βs ( huL W − |V |sL 0i |uL i + hcL W − |V |sL 0i |cL i ) |s0R W − i + βu ( hdL W + |V |uL 0i |dL i + hsL W + |V |uL 0i |sL i ) |u0R W + i + βc ( hdL W + |V |cL 0i |dL i + hsL W + |V |cL 0i |sL i ) |c0R W + i , Gauge Institute Journal Volume 6, No 1, February 2010 8 where the Z 0 boson couples to either qL or qR0 and the W ± couples only to qL . For notational clarity we have dropped the qR0 dependence in W ± -mediated decays—i.e., hqL qR0 W ± |V |q̃L qR0 0i −→ hqL W ± |V |q̃L 0i. Unitarity of V implies the following conditions: | huL W − |V |dL 0i |2 + | hcL W − |V |dL 0i |2 + | hdL d0R Z 0 |V |dL d0R 0i |2 + | hdL d0R 0|V |dL d0R 0i |2 = | huL W − |V |sL 0i |2 + | hcL W − |V |sL 0i |2 + | hsL s0R Z 0 |V |sL s0R 0i |2 + | hsL s0R 0|V |sL s0R 0i |2 = | hdL W + |V |uL 0i |2 + | hsL W + |V |uL 0i |2 + | huL u0R Z 0 |V |uL u0R 0i |2 + | huL u0R 0|V |uL u0R 0i |2 = | hdL W + |V |cL 0i |2 + | hsL W + |V |cL 0i |2 + | hcL c0R Z 0 |V |cL c0R 0i |2 + | hcL c0R 0|V |cL c0R 0i |2 = 1.0, (19) huL W − |V |dL 0i∗ huL W − |V |sL 0i + hcL W − |V |dL 0i∗ hcL W − |V |sL 0i = 0 , (20) hdL W + |V |uL 0i∗ hdL W + |V |cL 0i + hsL W + |V |wL )i∗ hsL W + |V |cL 0i = 0 . (21) and The output density matrix ρ0 for the left handed system is obtained by taking the trace of the right handed quark and vector boson Hilbert spaces, R and E, respectively. This gives the result, ρ0 = T rRE ( |ψ 0 ihψ 0 | ) (22) = βd2 A2d |dL ihdL | + βs2 A2s |sL ihsL | + βu2 (1 − A2u ) |ψu ihψu | + βc2 (1 − A2c ) |ψc ihψc | + βu2 A2u |uL ihuL | + βc2 A2c |cL ihcL | + βd2 (1 − A2d ) |ψd ihψd | + βs2 (1 − A2s ) |ψs ihψs | , (23) where A2q = | hqL qR0 0|V |qL qR0 0i |2 + | hqL qR0 Z 0 |V |qL qR0 0i |2 , q = d, s, u, c , (24) and |ψd i = q 1 1− A2d ( huL W − |V |dL 0i|uL i + hcL W − |V |dL 0i|cL i ) , (25) Gauge Institute Journal Volume 6, No 1, February 2010 |ψs i = q |ψu i = q |ψc i = q 1 1− 1 A2s 1 − A2u 1 1− A2c 9 ( huL W − |V |sL 0i|uL i + hcL W − |V |sL 0i|cL i ) , (26) ( hdL W + |V |uL 0i|dL i + hsL W + |V |uL 0i|sL i ) , (27) ( hdL W + |V |cL 0i|dL i + hsL W + |V |cL 0i|sL i ) . (28) From the unitarity conditions in Eqs. (20) and (21), we have hψd |ψs i = 0 and hψu |ψc i = 0. By considering the W ± -mediated decays of left handed quarks with right handed quark spectators, orthogonal bases { |ψd i, |ψs i } and { |ψu i, |ψc i } emerge that are rotated relative to sets { |uL i, |cL i } and { |dL i, |sL i }, respectively. It should be emphasized that Z 0 left-right mixing does not appear in the current F̄ γµ F . Consequently, although the right handed spectators and left handed system quarks in Eq. (18) both interact with the Z 0 boson, they do not mix handedness. Furthermore, the W ± channel is isolated to left handed inputs. Even without the Z 0 boson, quark mass is a left-right mixing parameter for the Naimark extension in Eq. (9). However, we are motivated by the idea that the weak bosons represent a dynamical entangling mechanism for a Lorentz group Naimark extension. The left-right mixing in Eq. (17) combine with the CKM matrix for a full Naimark extension of the Lorentz group of spin and boost operators. The mixing involves the weak angle θw and the CKM matrix parameter set (most prominently the Cabibbo angle θC ≈ 13.1o ). QUANTUM INFORMATION In quantum information theory the state |ψi in Eq. (18) is known as a purification of the input density matrix ρ = T raceRE (|ψi hψ|) [15]. The concept of purification is at the center of definitions of entanglement fidelity and entropy exchange for transmission through noisy quantum channels [16–18]. In a follow-on paper we evaluate the entanglement in Eqs. (25)– (28) by considering the W ± -mediated weak decay as a noisy quantum information channel [19]. Weak decays of the four left handed fermions (u, d, c, s) are interpreted as a single quantum information channel, which we denote the W ± channel. The noise in the channel results from weak boson interactions. This interpretation of particle decays as information Gauge Institute Journal Volume 6, No 1, February 2010 10 channels also extends the theory of quantum measurement. A generalization of quantum statistical counting to accessibly distinguishable particles results in an entropic criterion for quark mixing angles equivalent to the GIM mechanism [20].
