We prove a formula expressing the gradient of the phase function of a function $f: \mathbb R^d \mapsto \mathbb C$ as a normalized first frequency moment of the Wigner distribution for fixed time. The formula holds when $f$ is the Fourier…
Generalised Hagedorn wave packets appear as exact solutions of Schr\"odinger equations with quadratic, possibly complex, potential, and are given by a polynomial times a Gaussian. We show that the Wigner transform of generalised Hagedorn…

The Wigner function shares several properties with classical distribution functions on phase space, but is not positive-definite. The integral of the Wigner function over a given region of phase space can therefore lie outside the interval…
