Geometry and dynamics in the fractional discrete Fourier transform

Abstract

The N×N Fourier matrix is one distinguished element within the group U(N) of all N×N unitary matrices. It has the geometric property of being a fourth root of unity and is close to the dynamics of harmonic oscillators. The dynamical correspondence is exact only in the N contraction limit for the integral Fourier transform and its fractional powers. In the finite-N case, several options have been considered in the literature. We compare their fidelity in reproducing the classical harmonic motion of discrete coherent states.
