When is a bosonic operator a Hamiltonian?

Kavli Affiliate: Felix Fischer | Summary:Hermitian polynomials in the quadrature operators $x$ and $p$ are the basic ingredients of continuous-variable quantum information, and increasingly exotic ones are now routinely engineered in superconducting circuits and trapped ions. However, such a polynomial need not define unique quantum dynamics: it may define exactly one, none, or an infinite […]
