Universal density matrix for the phase space
Abstract
In this paper, a new representation of the Wigner function for a quantum system in the phase space is proposed. The new representation is of the form , where is the density matrix, and is the universal density matrix. The density matrix for each quantum system is different, and the universal matrix is the same for any quantum system. Thus, the matrix has a fundamental character. In the work, the elements of the universal matrix were found explicitly and their properties were investigated. The diagonal elements of the matrix are the Wigner functions of the harmonic oscillator, which do not introduce dissipation into the quantum system. The off-diagonal elements of the matrix contain frequency oscillations responsible for dissipations in the quantum systems.
