Wigner-positive quantum states have the peculiarity to admit a Wigner function that is a genuine probability distribution over phase space. The Shannon differential entropy of the Wigner function of such states -- called Wigner entropy for…
The semiclassically scaled time-dependent multi-particle Schr\"odinger equation describes, inter alia, quantum dynamics of nuclei in a molecule. It poses the combined computational challenges of high oscillations and high dimensions. This…
We derive an analytical expression of a Wigner function that approximately describes the time evolution of the one-dimensional motion of a particle in a nonharmonic potential. Our method involves two exact frame transformations, accounting…
We consider the N-body Schr\"{o}dinger dynamics of bosons in the mean field limit with a bounded pair-interaction potential. According to the previous work \cite{AmNi}, the mean field limit is translated into a semiclassical problem with a…
In a publication (Nature Comm. 3711, 9 (2018)), Daniela Frauchiger and Renato Renner used a Wigner/friend gedanken experiment to argue that quantum mechanics cannot describe complex systems involving measuring agents. They were able to…

We extend the Moser-Trudinger inequality of one function to systems of orthogonal functions. Our results are asymptotically sharp when applied to the collective behavior of eigenfunctions of Schr\"odinger operators on bounded domains.
Firstly, bilinear Fourier Restriction estimates --which are well-known for free waves-- are extended to adapted spaces of functions of bounded quadratic variation, under quantitative assumptions on the phase functions. This has applications…
In the context of phase-space quantization, matrix elements and observables result from integration of c-number functions over phase space, with Wigner functions serving as the quasi-probability measure. The complete sets of Wigner…
The nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation based on slowly varying approximation is usually applied to describe the pulse propagation in nonlinear waveguides. However, for the case of the front induced transitions (FITs), the pump effect is well…
We propose a new approximate series solution of the semiclassical Wigner equation by uniformization of WKB approximations of the Schr\"odinger eigenfunctions.
We consider the nonlinear Schrodinger equation with a modified spatial dispersion, given either by an homogeneous Fourier multiplier, or by a bounded Fourier multiplier. Arguments based on ordinary differential equations yield ill-posedness…
Strong-type inhomogeneous Strichartz estimates are shown to be false for the wave equation outside the so-called acceptable region. On a critical line where the acceptability condition marginally fails, we prove substitute estimates with a…
The usefulness of time-frequency analysis methods in the study of quasicrystals was pointed out in a previous paper, where we proved that a tempered distribution $\mu$ on ${\mathbb R}^d$ whose Wigner transform is a measure supported on the…
The famous Wigner's friend experiment considers an observer -- the friend -- and a superobserver -- Wigner -- who treats the friend as a quantum system and her interaction with other quantum systems as unitary dynamics. This is at odds with…
The Schr\"odinger equation is universally accepted due to its excellent predictions aligning with observed results within its defined conditions. Nevertheless, it does not seem to possess the simplicity of fundamental laws, such as Newton's…
Recently, a new definition for a Wigner distribution function for a one-dimensional finite quantum system, in which the position and momentum operators have a finite (multiplicity-free) spectrum, was developed. This distribution function is…
In this note we aim to characterize the cylindrical Wigner measures associated to regular quantum states in the Weyl C*-algebra of canonical commutation relations. In particular, we provide conditions at the quantum level sufficient to…
Observations in Quantum Mechanics are subject to complex restrictions arising from the principle of energy conservation. Determining such restrictions, however, has been so far an elusive task, and only partial results are known. In this…
A new non-perturbative approach to quantum theory in curved spacetime and to quantum gravity, based on a generalisation of the Wigner equation, is proposed. Our definition for a Wigner equation differs from what have otherwise been…
