Description/Abstract

After a general introduction to Wigner Quantum Systems, we define the three-dimensional n-particle Wigner Quantum Oscillator, and its relation to the Lie superalgebra sl(1|3n). In this framework, coordinates, momentum and the angular momentum of the particles are defined and investigated. This investigation is done in state spaces, using representation theory of sl(1|3n). For the case of n=1, the main properties are listed, with an emphasis on the non-commutative coordinates of the particle and its unconventional consequences. For general n, we study energy spectra, angular momentum, and in particular the particle configuration and its interpretation. Throughout, a comparison with the canonical oscillator solution is given.
