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…
For each $f\!:\!\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{C}$ that is Henstock--Kurzweil integrable on the real line, or is a distribution in the completion of the space of Henstock--Kurzweil integrable functions in the Alexiewicz norm, it is shown that the…
Just as a coherent state may be considered as a quantum point, its restriction to a factor space of the full Hilbert space can be interpreted as a quantum plane. The overlap of such a factor coherent state with a full pure state is akin to…
Recent years have seen the Kirkwood-Dirac (KD) distribution come to the forefront as a powerful quasi-probability distribution for analysing quantum mechanics. The KD distribution allows tools from statistics and probability theory to be…
The quantum state of a light beam can be represented as an infinite dimensional density matrix or equivalently as a density on the plane called the Wigner function. We describe quantum tomography as an inverse statistical problem in which…

We study continuous variable systems, in which quantum and classical degrees of freedom are combined and treated on the same footing. Thus all systems, including the inputs or outputs to a channel, may be quantum-classical hybrids. This…

Usually in quantum mechanics the Heisenberg algebra is generated by operators of position and momentum. The algebra is then represented on an Hilbert space of square integrable functions. Alternatively one generates the Heisenberg algebra…
In this article, the two-parameter quantum Heisenberg enveloping algebra, which serves as a model for certain quantum generalized Heisenberg algebras, have been studied at roots of unity. In this context, the quantum Heisenberg enveloping…
The representation of quantum states via phase-space functions constitutes an intuitive technique to characterize light. However, the reconstruction of such distributions is challenging as it demands specific types of detectors and detailed…

We investigate and review how Fourier transform is involved in the analysis of a twisted group algebra $L^1(G, \sigma)$ for $G=\widehat{\Gamma}\times \Gamma$ and $\sigma:G\times G \to \mathbb{T}$ 2- cocycle where $\Gamma$ is a locally…
We introduce a quantum phase space representation for the orientation state of extended quantum objects, using the Euler angles and their conjugate momenta as phase space coordinates. It exhibits the same properties as the standard Wigner…

We study the possibility of reconstructing the quantum state of light in a cavity subject to dissipation. We pass atoms, also subject to decay, through the cavity and surprisingly show that both decays allow the measurement of…
