A quantum harmonic oscillator for this Golden calculus is derived so that its spectrum is given only by ibonacci numbers. The ratio of successive energy levels is found to be the Golden sequence, and for asymptotic states in the limit n it appears as the Golden ratio. We call this oscillator the Golden oscillator. Using double Golden bosons, the Golden angular momentum and its representation in terms of ibonacci numbers and the Golden ratio are derived. Relations of ibonacci calculus with a q-deformed fermion oscillator and entangled N-qubit states are indicated.

Introduction ibonacci numbers have been known from ancient times as nature s numbering system, and have applications to the growth of every living thing, from natural plants e.g. branches of trees, the arrangement of leaves) to human proportions and architecture the Golden section) [1]. The numbers satisfy the recursion relation 1 1 initial condition), n n 1 + n, for n recursion formula). The first few ibonacci numbers are 1, 1,, 3, 5, 8, 13,... or these numbers, starting from de Moivre, Lame and Binet, the next representation is known as the Binet formula [1]: n n n, 1) /1/ $ IOP Publishing Ltd Printed in the UK & the USA 1

These roots are explicitly 1 + 5, ) Number is known as the Golden ratio or the Golden section. There are countless works devoted to the application of the Golden ratio in many fields, from natural phenomena to architecture and music. ibonacci numbers can be considered as a particular realization of ibonacci polynomials n a): 1 a) 1, a) a n+1 a) a n a) + n 1 a), for n, when a 1: n 1) n.ora, it gives n ) the Pell numbers. The Binet representation for these polynomials is easy to see as ) n n a) qn 1 q q ) 1, 3) q where parameter a q 1 q, so that q a+ a +4 and 1 q a a +4 are roots of the quadratic equation x ax + 1. Here we note that the Binet formula can be considered as a special realization of the socalled q-numbers in q-calculus with two bases: q and Q 1. The Q, q) calculus generalizes q Jackson s q-calculus to two parameters. In the particular case when Q 1, it becomes the non-symmetrical calculus and in another case, when Q 1, it reduces to the symmetrical q q-calculus. The Q, q) two parametric quantum algebras have been introduced in connection with the generalized quantum q-harmonic oscillator [, 3]. The corresponding calculus is mentioned in a convenient form for the generalization of the q-calculus in [4]. Recently, we found that the Q, q) calculus appears naturally in the construction of the q-binomial formula for Q-commutative elements. It was inspired by non-commutative q-binomials, introduced for the description of the q-hermite polynomial solutions of the q-heat equation in [5]. Alternatively, with the operator version of this calculus [6], we constructed the AKNS hierarchy of integrable systems, where Q R is the recursion operator of the AKNS hierarchy and q is the spectral parameter. In this paper, we would like to explore the possibility of interpreting the Binet formula for ibonacci polynomials and ibonacci numbers as q-numbers, and develop the corresponding q-calculus. There are several motivations for studing this calculus Generalized q-deformed fermion algebra In addition to q-bosonic quantum algebras, several attempts were made to construct q- deformed fermionic oscillators [7, 8]. These fermionic quantum algebras were applied to several problems, as the dynamic mass generation of quarks and nuclear pairing [9, 10], and as descriptive of higher order effects in many-body interactions in nuclei [11, 1]. A non-trivial q-deformation of the fermion oscillator algebra has been proposed in [7]: f q f q + + qf q + f q q N, 4) [N, f + q ] f + q, [N, f q] f q ; f q 0. 5)

3 J. Phys. A: Math. Theor ) O K Pashaev and S Nalci In this q-deformed fermionic oscillator algebra, the Pauli exclusion principle is no longer valid. The oscillator allows more than two q-fermions in a given quantum state and admits fermion boson transmutation. or such q-fermion algebra, the ock space construction requires one to introduce the fermionic q-numbers [7], [n] q q n 1) n q n. 6) q 1 + q 1 or generic q, this representation is infinite dimensional. In the limit q 1, the ock space reduces to two states: the vacuum state and one-fermion state, so that the Pauli principle gets recovered. Here, we note that this fermionic q-number 6) under substitution q 1 q becomes the Binet formula 3) for ibonacci polynomials n 1 q q), and for Golden ratio base q 1, it gives ibonacci numbers 1). This relation allows us to connect ibonacci polynomials and ibonacci numbers, considered as q-numbers, with fermionic q-numbers of [7]. Statistical properties of these q-deformed fermions were investigated in [13] fora description of fractional statistics. Later it was shown [14] that thermodynamics of these generalized fermions should involve the q-calculus with the Jackson-type q-derivative in the form of D x f x) 1 f q 1 x) f qx). 7) x q + q 1 Here, we find that with the substitution q 1, this derivative becomes the ibonacci derivative q which we introduce in 47), and for q 1, it becomes the Golden derivative 48). The above consideration indicates that the ibonacci q-calculus is a natural language for describing q-deformed fermions and their statistics. 1.. Hecke condition for the R-matrix Another connection is related to the quantum integrable systems approach to the theory of quantum groups via the solution of the Yang Baxter equation for the R-matrix [15]. If one introduces the ˆR-matrix, ˆR PR, where P is the permutation matrix, then this invertible ˆR-matrix obeys a characteristic equation. or two roots, this equation is known as the form of the Hecke condition: ˆR q) ˆR + 1 ) 0 8) q or ˆR a ˆR + I. 9) By studying representations of the braid group satisfying this quadratic relation, Jones obtained a polynomial invariant in two variables for oriented links [16]. If in calculating higher powers of matrix ˆR we repeatedly apply the Hecke condition 9), then as a result we obtain ˆR n n a) ˆR + n 1 a)i, 10) where n a) a n 1 a) + n a) are ibonacci polynomials 3) with a q 1 q Entangled N-qubit spin coherent states Another motivation comes from quantum information theory. The unit of quantum information, the qubit, in the spin coherent state representation 1 1 ψ 11) 1 + ψ ψ) 3

Theor ) O K Pashaev and S Nalci is parametrized by the complex number ψ C, given by the stereographic projection ψ tan θ eiφ, of the Bloch sphere for the qubit θ,φ cos θ 0 +sin θ eiφ 1. 1) or an arbitrary representation j of su), the scalar product of two coherent states is 1 + φψ) j φ ψ 1 + φ ) j 1 + ψ ), 13) j and the orthogonality condition φ ψ 0 implies 1 + φψ 0. This constraint relates two states: one at point φ and another at the negative-symmetric point in the unit circle φ [17]. Geometrically, these points correspond to antipodal points on the Bloch sphere, 1 ψ Mx, y, z) and M x, y, z). In accordance with these points, we have recently constructed a maximally entangled set of orthonormal two-qubit coherent states [17], P ± 1 ψ ψ ± 1 ψ 1 ψ ), 14) G ± 1 ψ 1 ψ ± 1 ψ ) ψ, 15) with concurrence C 1. These states generalize the Bell states and reduce to the last ones in the limit ψ 0 and 1 ψ. This construction can be extended to arbitrary N-qubit coherent states [18]. The first set of N-qubit entangled states expanded in the computational basis is ψ N 1 ψ N ψ + 1 ψ 1 α, β) ) 16) + α, β) ) 17) + N α, β) ) This is characterized by the set of complex ibonacci polynomials ) n n α, β) ψ n 1 ψ ψ + ψ 1, 19) with a reccurrence relation n+1 α, β) α n α, β) + β n 1 α, β), 0) where α ψ and β. Another set of entangled N-qubit coherent states is 1 ψ ψ ψ ψ N + 1 ψ N L 1 α, β) ) 1) + L α, β) ) ) +L N α, β) 111 1, 3) and it is characterized by complex Lucas polynomials L n α, β) ψ n + 1 ψ )n. In the N 3 qubit case, for particular ψ 0, 1 ψ, it gives a maximally entangled GHZ state. In the above Binet representations of complex polynomials n α, β) and L n α, β), the negativesymmetric points ψ and 1 ψ are the roots of the complex quadratic equation z αz + β. 4

5 J. Phys. A: Math. Theor ) O K Pashaev and S Nalci rom the polar representation of the complex numbers ψ q e iφ and z r e iφ, we obtain r ar + 1, where a q 1 q and rn r n a) + n 1 a), with ibonacci polynomials n a) 3). The complex ibonacci polynomials are related to standard ibonacci polynomials by the formula and n α, β) n a) e iφn 1) 4) L n α, β) L n a) e inφ, 5) where φ arg ψ. The complex parameter α ψ has a simple geometrical meaning as 1 ψ a complex difference between symmetrical points in a unit circle. The interesting point here is that the symmetric points under the unit circle appear in the problem of vortex images in a circular domain [19], where these points correspond to the line vortex at ψ and its image in the circle at 1 ψ. Then parameter a α, α a eiφ, in ibonacci polynomials has a geometrical meaning as the distance between the vortex and its image. In the particular case when this distance is equal to 1, a q 1 1, the position of the vortex is at the Golden ratio distance q from the origin r 1+ 5 and ibonacci polynomials turn into ibonacci numbers. In this case, the line interval connecting the vortex and the negative-symmetric point intersects the unit circle at a point which divides this interval into two parts of length and 1. The above motivations show that the ibonacci q-calculus is interesting and rich in applications to develop. In the first part of this paper, we systematically introduce basic elements of this calculus as ibonacci numbers, ibonacci derivative and ibonacci integral. Then we construct the quantum harmonic oscillator for the Golden q-calculus case, so that its spectrum is given only by ibonacci numbers and the ratio of successive energy levels is given as the Golden sequence. or asymptotic states at n, it appears as the Golden ratio. Although some results for the harmonic oscillator with generic Q q and their reductions to symmetrical and non-symmetrical cases are known [0 ], we think that the special case with negative-symmetrical and the Golden ratio bases has not been described before in the literature. Due to the importance and wide applicability of ibonacci numbers in different fields, we think that the explicit realization of them in the form of a quantum oscillator with a Golden ratio base, which we call the Golden quantum oscillator, deserves to be studied. In particular, a realization of this type of calculus could describe the Golden ratio in non-commutative geometry and q-deformed fermions with fractional statistics. inally, our Golden oscillator should not be confused with the ibonacci oscillator of [], with the generic bases q 1 and q, though it is a particular case of it. In that paper, the ibonacci calculus and its relation with the Golden ratio and Binet formula, as well as asymptotic properties of energy levels, have not been discussed.. Golden q-calculus In the Q, q) calculus we have the number [n] Q,q Qn q n Q q. 6) If Q 1, then this q-number gives ibonacci polynomials q ) n n a) qn 1 q q 1 ) [n] q, 7) q 5

The bosonic Golden oscillator is defined by three operators b +, b and N which satisfy the commutation relations: [N, b + ] b +, [N, b] b. 11) By using the definition of the Golden number operator [N] N 1 )N + 1 N, we find the following equalities: [N + 1] [N] 1 ) N 113) [N + 1] + 1 [N] N. 114) Here, the operator 1) N e iπn.

Then we have b + n n+1 n + 1, 1) b n n n 1. 13) The number operator N in terms of N is written in two different forms according to even or odd eigenstates N n n n. or n k, we obtain ) 5 5 N log N + 4 N + 1, 14) and for n k + 1, ) 5 5 N log N 4 N 1, 15) where [N] is a ibonacci number operator [N] N 1 )N 1 ) N. As a result, the ibonacci numbers are the example of q, Q) numbers with two bases, and one of the bases is the Golden ratio. This is why we call the corresponding q-oscillator a 16

The Hamiltonian for the Golden oscillator due to the operator relation 115) is written as a ibonacci number operator: H ω b+ b + bb + ) ω [N + 1] + [N] ) ω N+, where bb + [N + 1] N+1, b + b [N] N. Here we note that our Hamiltonian is different from the q-deformed fermion Hamiltonian [7]. According to our Hamiltonian, the energy spectrum of this oscillator is written in terms of the ibonacci number sequence: E n ω ) [n], 1 + [n + 1], 1 ω n + n+1 ) ω n+, or E n ω n+. The first energy eigenvalue, E 0 ω ω, is exactly the same as the ground state energy in the ordinary case. Higher energy excited states are given by the ibonacci sequence: E 1 ω 3 ω, E 3 ω, E 3 5 ω,... In figure 1, we show the quantum ibonacci tree for this oscillator. The difference between the two consecutive energy levels of our oscillator is not equidistant and is found as E n E n+1 E n ω n+1. The ratio of two successive energy levels E n+1 E n n+3 n+ gives the Golden sequence, and for the limiting case of higher excited states n, it is the Golden ratio E n+1 n+3 [n + 3] lim lim lim n E n n n+ n [n + ] This property of asymptotic energy levels to be proportional to each other by a Golden ratio leads us to call this oscillator a Golden oscillator. 17

18 J. Phys. A: Math. Theor ) O K Pashaev and S Nalci We have the following relations between Golden creation and annihilation operators and the standard creation and annihilation operators: b + a + N+1 N + 1 N N a+, 16) N+1 b N + 1 a a N N, 17) which we call nonlinear unitary transformation, where [a, a + ] 1. As a result of these relations, we can obtain the commutation relation between b + and b as [b, b + ] bb + b + b N+1 N. In [7] the Hamiltonian of the q-fermion oscillator was taken as H q 1 ωb+ b bb + ). 18) By using the previous formula, we have the representation of this Hamiltonian in terms of the ibonacci operator: H q 1 ω N N+1 ). 19) inally, using the property of ibonacci operators, we find the q-fermion Hamiltonian as a ibonacci operator: H q 1 ω N ) To compare n-particle states for Golden and standard oscillators, we consider the following relations. rom 16) and 17), we have ) n b + ) n b + N+1 N + 1 b + ) n N+n N + n... N+ N + b + ) n N+n! N! N+1 N + 1 N! N + n)!. 131) By taking the Hermitian conjugate of this result, we obtain b n q N+n! N! N! N + n)! an. 13) Our next step is to show that the same set of eigenvectors n expands the whole Hilbert space both for the standard harmonic oscillator and for the Golden one. irstly, we consider that the vacuum state 0 for an ordinary quantum harmonic oscillator satisfies a 0 0, and the vacuum state 0 for the Golden quantum harmonic oscillator satisfies b 0 0. rom 17) we have which gives b 0 a 0 0. N+1 N + 1 a 0 0, 18

19 J. Phys. A: Math. Theor ) O K Pashaev and S Nalci Alternatively, if a 0 0, it implies b 0 0. Therefore, the vacuum state 0 for the ordinary oscillator is exactly the same as for the Golden oscillator vacuum state 0 0. By applying b + ) n to the vacuum state 0 and using N n n n,wehave which implies that n n. b + ) n 0 b + ) n N+n! N! N! N + n)! 0 n! n! b+ ) n 0, 133) As a result, we find that both the standard and the Golden harmonic oscillators have the same set of eigenstates, but with different energy eigenvalues. If for the standard oscillator the eigenstates are determined by the positive integer numbers n, E n ω n + 1 ), then for the Golden oscillator they are given by the ibonacci numbers n, E n ω n+. To obtain wavefunctions in the coordinate representation, the simplest way is to represent the bosonic operators a and a + in terms of coordinate and momenta, so that the wavefunctions would just be standard bosonic oscillator wavefunctions in terms of Hermite polynomials. However, in this form, the representation of the operators b and b + is quite complicated. Another form of the wavefunction is related to the q-coordinate and q-momentum for the operators b and b +, but with a complicated structure of the wavefunctions. One more representation of the wavefunctions is the holomorphic representation of ock, which requires the application of the ibonacci derivative operator. These questions would be described in our future work Golden angular momentum The double Golden oscillator algebra su ) determines the Golden quantum angular momentum operators, defined as J+ b+ 1 b, J b+ b 1, Jz N 1 N, and satisfying the commutation relations [J+, J ] 1)N Jz 1) N 1 Jz, 134) [Jz, J ± ] ±J ±, 135) where the Binet ibonacci Golden operator is N N 1 )N + 1 [N].

We can also construct the representation of our -deformed angular momentum algebra in terms of the double Golden boson representation b 1, b. The actions of -deformed angular momentum operators to the state n 1, n are given as follows: J + n 1, n b + 1 b n 1, n n1 +1 n n 1 + 1, n 1, 14) J n 1, n b + b 1 n 1, n n1 n +1 n 1 1, n + 1, 143) J z n 1, n 1 N 1 N ) n 1, n 1 n 1 n ) n 1, n. 144) The above expressions reduce to the familiar ones 139) 141) provided we define j n 1 + n, m n 1 n and substitute n 1, n j, m, n 1 j + m, n j m. 0

22 J. Phys. A: Math. Theor ) O K Pashaev and S Nalci 5. Conclusions By interpreting the Binet formula for ibonacci polynomials and ibonacci numbers as q- numbers, we have developed a special version of q-calculus with negative-inverse points. rom one side these points are specific for the spin coherent state description of qubits in quantum information theory, providing a unique pair of one-qubit orthogonal states. In terms of these states, maximally entangled two-, three- and arbitrary N-qubit states can be derived. The expansion of these states on the computational basis is determined by ibonacci polynomials and Lucas polynomials. So the ibonacci calculus developed here can have potential application in quantum information theory. In a stereographic projection picture of these states, the argument of ibonacci polynomials has interpretation of a distance between symmetric points in a unit circle. Another potential application is related to the method of images in the problem of point vortices in circular domains, as advocated a long time ago by Poincare [4]. Here, the vortex and its image are located at symmetric points and the Kirchhoff energy of configuration depends on the distance between them. This distance is determined by the parameter a in ibonacci polynomials and is equal to 1 for a vortex at the Golden ratio distance. When this paper had already been submitted to the journal, we learned that Parthasarathy and Viswanathan in their study of the q-deformed fermion oscillator in 1991 [7] had introduced the fermion q-number, which coincides exactly with the ibonacci polynomial as a q-number in the Binet representation. According to this, we expect that our results would be useful in describing such an oscillator, the corresponding coherent states and fractional statistics. In particular, we expect that it could be a useful tool to study the entanglement of q-fermionic states.
