Two-frequency Wigner distribution is introduced to capture the asymptotic behavior of the space-frequency correlation of paraxial waves in the radiative transfer limits. The scaling limits give rises to deterministic transport-like…
Quantum devices are preparing increasingly more complex entangled quantum states. How can one effectively study these states in light of their increasing dimensions? Phase spaces such as Wigner functions provide a suitable framework. We…
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…
The continued-fraction method to solve classical Fokker--Planck equations has been adapted to tackle quantum master equations of the Caldeira--Leggett type. This can be done taking advantage of the phase-space (Wigner) representation of the…
Following the discussion -- in state space language -- presented in a preceding paper, we work on the passage from the phase space description of a degree of freedom described by a finite number of states (without classical counterpart) to…
The extension of the phase-space Weyl-Wigner quantum mechanics to the subset of Hamiltonians in the form of $H(q,\,p) = {K}(p) + {V}(q)$ (with $K(p)$ replacing single $p^2$ contributions) is revisited. Deviations from classical and…
The Wigner function formalism has been applied to the analysis of elastic scattering processes. The new element of known formalism is the choice of the phase space on which the Wigner function is defined. This phase space is 4-dimensional…
We represent both the states and the evolution of a quantum computer in phase space using the discrete Wigner function. We study properties of the phase space representation of quantum algorithms: apart from analyzing important examples,…
We implement the so-called Weyl-Heisenberg covariant integral quantization in the case of a classical system constrained by a bounded or semi-bounded geometry. The procedure, which is free of the ordering problem of operators, is…
The physical phase space of gauge field theories on a cylindrical spacetime with an arbitrary compact simple gauge group is shown to be the quotient $ {\bf R}^{2r}/W_A, $ $ r $ a rank of the gauge group, $ W_A $ the affine Weyl group. The…
The paper develop the alternative formulation of quantum mechanics known as the phase space quantum mechanics or deformation quantization. It is shown that the quantization naturally arises as an appropriate deformation of the classical…
A general relation between the Moyal formalisms for a spin and a particle is established. Once the formalism has been set up for a spin, the phase-space description of a particle is obtained from the `contraction' of the group of rotations…
The mixed density operator for coarsegrained eigenlevels of a static Hamiltonian is represented in phase space by the spectral Wigner function, which has its peak on the corresponding classical energy shell. The action of trajectory…
In this article we try to bridge the gap between the quantum dynamical semigroup and Wigner function approaches to quantum open systems. In particular we study stationary states and the long time asymptotics for the quantum Fokker-Planck…
We propose fractional Fokker-Planck equation for the kinetic description of relaxation and superdiffusion processes in constant magnetic and random electric fields. We assume that the random electric field acting on a test charged particle…
The conventional phase space of classical physics treats space and time differently, and this difference carries over to field theories and quantum mechanics (QM). In this paper, the phase space is enhanced through two main extensions.…
Here we argue that spinor structure arises naturally if relativistic statistical mechanics is formulated directly on phase spacetime. Requiring a first-order phase-spacetime description that retains both mass-shell branches leads to a…
The Fokker-Planck equation describing the transport of energetic particles interacting with turbulence is difficult to solve analytically. Numerical solutions are of course possible but they are not always useful for applications. In the…
We study the phase-space concentration of the so-called generalized metaplectic operators whose main examples are Schr\"odinger equations with bounded perturbations. To reach this goal, we perform a so-called $\mathcal{A}$-Wigner analysis…
In quantum mechanics, systems can be described in phase space in terms of the Wigner function and the star-product operation. Quantum characteristics, which appear in the Heisenberg picture as the Weyl's symbols of operators of canonical…
