Quantum q-Krawtchouk polynomials

In mathematics, the quantum q-Krawtchouk polynomials are a family of basic hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials in the basic Askey scheme. Template:Harvs give a detailed list of their properties.

Definition

The polynomials are given in terms of basic hypergeometric functions by

$K_n^{qtm}(q^{-x};p,N;q)={}_2{\varphi }_1[\begin{array}{c}{q}^{-n},q^{-x}\\ q^{-N}\end{array};q;p{q}^{n+1}]n=0,1,2,...,N.$
