Quantum mechanics with space-time noncommutativity

Abstract

We construct an effective commutative Schr\"odinger equation in Moyal space-time in (1+1)-dimension where both t and x are operator-valued and satisfy [ t, x ] = i θ. Beginning with a time-reparametrised form of an action we identify the actions of various space-time coordinates and their conjugate momenta on quantum states, represented by Hilbert-Schmidt operators. Since time is also regarded as a configuration space variable, we show how an `induced' inner product can be extracted, so that an appropriate quantum mechanical interpretation is obtained. We then discuss several other applications of the formalism developed so far.
