Abstract
We develop quantum mechanical Dirac ket-bra operator’s integration theory in \(\mathfrak{Q}\)-ordering or \(\mathfrak{P}\)-ordering to multimode case, where \(\mathfrak{Q}\)-ordering means all Qs are to the left of all Ps and \(\mathfrak{P}\)-ordering means all Ps are to the left of all Qs. As their applications, we derive \(\mathfrak{Q}\)-ordered and \(\mathfrak{P}\)-ordered expansion formulas of multimode exponential operator \(e^{ - iP_l \Lambda _{lk} Q_k } \). Application of the new formula in finding new general squeezing operators is demonstrated. The general exponential operator for coordinate representation transformation \(\left| {\left. {\left( {_{q_2 }^{q_1 } } \right)} \right\rangle \to } \right|\left. {\left( {_{CD}^{AB} } \right)\left( {_{q_2 }^{q_1 } } \right)} \right\rangle \) is also derived. In this way, much more correpondence relations between classical coordinate transformations and their quantum mechanical images can be revealed.
