In this paper we study the Strichartz estimates for the Schr\"odinger propagator in the context of Wiener amalgam spaces which, unlike the Lebesgue spaces, control the local regularity of a function and its decay at infinity separately.…
We first review the usefulness of the Wigner distribution functions (WDF), associated with Lindblad and pre-master equations, for analyzing a host of problems in Quantum Optics where dissipation plays a major role, an arena where weak…

The objective of this paper is to report on recent progress on Strichartz estimates for the Schr\"odinger equation and to present the state-of-the-art. These estimates have been obtained in Lebesgue spaces, Sobolev spaces and, recently, in…
This paper is concerned with the efficient numerical computation of solutions to the 1D stationary Schr\"odinger equation in the semiclassical limit in the highly oscillatory regime. A previous approach to this problem based on explicitly…
We examine the affine Wigner distribution from a quantization perspective with an emphasis on the underlying group structure. One of our main results expresses the scalogram as (affine) convolution of affine Wigner distributions. We strive…
The Wigner-Smith (WS) time delay matrix relates a system's scattering matrix to its frequency derivative and gives rise to so-called WS modes that experience well-defined group delays when interacting with the system. For systems composed…
Generally, the measurement process consists in coupling a system to a detector that can give a continuous output. However, it may be interesting to use as a detector a system with a discrete spectrum, especially in view of applications to…
We show that if the Wigner function of a (possibly mixed) quantum state decays toward infinity faster than any polynomial in the phase space variables $x$ and $p$, then so do all of its derivatives, i.e., it is a Schwartz function on phase…
The effects of interpreting classical phase space distributions as Wigner functions, which is common in models of multiparticle production, are discussed. The temperature for the classical description is always higher than that for its…

Metaplectic Wigner distributions are joint time-frequency representations that are parametrized by a symplectic matrix and generalize the short-time Fourier transform and the Wigner distribution. We investigate the question which…
