Wigner distributions for non Abelian finite groups of odd order

Quantum Physics 2009-11-10 v2

Abstract

Wigner distributions for quantum mechanical systems whose configuration space is a finite group of odd order are defined so that they correctly reproduce the marginals and have desirable transformation properties under left and right translations. While for the Abelian case we recover known results, though from a different perspective, for the non Abelian case, our results appear to be new.
