In this study, we compare the Wigner function $W$, its modulus, and the Husimi distribution $H$ in a one-dimensional quantum system exhibiting a transition from a single-well to a double-well configuration, using the quasi-exactly solvable…

We propose a Wigner quasiprobability distribution function for Hamiltonian systems in spaces of constant curvature --in this paper on hyperboloids--, which returns the correct marginals and has the covariance of the Shapiro functions under…

We consider semiclassically scaled, weakly nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations with external confining potentials and additional angular-momentum rotation term. This type of model arises in the Gross-Pitaevskii theory of trapped, rotating…

It is shown that, while Wigner and Liouville functions transform in an identical way under linear symplectic maps, in general they do not transform identically for nonlinear symplectic maps. Instead there are ``quantum corrections'' whose…

We propose to study the $L^2$-norm distance between classical and quantum phase space distributions, where for the latter we choose the Wigner function, as a global phase space indicator of quantum-classical correspondence. For example,…
