We prove that smooth Wigner-Weyl spectral sums at an energy level $E$ exhibit Airy scaling asymptotics across the classical energy surface $\Sigma_E$. This was proved earlier by the authors for the isotropic harmonic oscillator and the…

Wigner's theorem asserts that an isometric (probability conserving) transformation on a quantum state space must be generated by a Hamiltonian that is Hermitian. It is shown that when the Hermiticity condition on the Hamiltonian is relaxed,…

Assuming that both a function and its Fourier transform are dominated by a Gaussian of large variance, it is shown that the Hermite coefficients of the function decay exponentially. A sharp estimate for the rate of exponential decay is…

Non-Gaussian correlations in a pure state are inextricably linked with non-classical features, such as a non positive-definite Wigner function. In a commonly used simulation technique in ultracold atoms and quantum optics, known as the…

We extend balloon and sample-smoothing estimators, two types of variable-bandwidth kernel density estimators, by a shift parameter and derive their asymptotic properties. Our approach facilitates the unified study of a wide range of density…
In this paper, we provide new formulas for determining the coefficients appearing in the asymptotic expansion for the Barnes $G$-function as $n$ tends to infinity for certain classes of asymptotic expansion for the Barnes $G$-function. We…
We estimate the density and its derivatives using a local polynomial approximation to the logarithm of an unknown density $f$. The estimator is guaranteed to be nonnegative and achieves the same optimal rate of convergence in the interior…
