We present a method to find asymptotics for the evolution of coherent states (or Gaussian wavepackets with standard deviation $\sqrt{h}$) under semiclassical Schr\"odinger's equation for a given Hamiltonian. These results extend the work of…
It is demonstrated how the equilibrium semiclassical approach of Coffey et al. can be improved to describe more correctly the evolution. As a result a new semiclassical Klein-Kramers equation for the Wigner function is derived, which…
We study some fundamental issues related to the Hilbert space representation of quantum mechanics in the presence of a minimal length and maximal momentum. In this framework, the maximally localized states and quasi-position representation…
We construct a semiclassical phase-space density of Schur vectors in non-Hermitian quantum systems. Each Schur vector is associated to a single Planck cell. The Schur states are organised according to a classical norm landscape on phase…
In this work, we leverage the Hamiltonian kind structure for accurate uncertainty propagation through a nonlinear dynamical system. The developed approach utilizes the fact that the stationary probability density function is purely a…
For one dimensional non-relativistic quantum mechanical problems, we investigate the conditions for all the position dependence of the propagator to be in its phase, that is, the semi-classical approximation to be exact. For velocity…
The Schrodinger and Heisenberg evolution operators are represented in quantum phase space by their Weyl symbols. Their semiclassical approximations are constructed in the short and long time regimes. For both evolution problems, the WKB…
It is shown that the semiclassical coherent state propagator takes its simplest form when the quantum mechanical Hamiltonian is replaced by its Weyl symbol in defining the classical action, in that there is then no need of a Solari-Kochetov…
We show how sub-Planck phase-space structures in the Wigner function can be used to achieve Heisenberg-limited sensitivity in weak force measurements. Nonclassical states of harmonic oscillators, consisting of superpositions of coherent…
This paper is devoted to the construction of approximations of the propagator associated with a semi-classical matrix-valued Schr\"odinger operator with symbol presenting smooth eigenvalues crossings. Inspired by the approach of the…
The Wigner-Eckart theorem is a well known result for tensor operators of su(2) and, more generally, any compact Lie algebra. In this paper the theorem will be generalized to the particular non-compact case of sl(2,R). In order to do so,…
In this dissertation the Weyl-Wigner approach is presented as a map between functions on a real cartesian symplectic vector space and a set of operators on a Hilbert space, to analyse some aspects of the relations between quantum and…
The frozen Gaussian approximation, proposed in [Lu and Yang, [15]], is an efficient computational tool for high frequency wave propagation. We continue in this paper the development of frozen Gaussian approximation. The frozen Gaussian…
Time evolution of the expectation values of various dynamical operators of the harmonic oscillator with dissipation is analitically obtained within the framework of the Lindblad's theory for open quantum systems. We deduce the density…
We discuss an alternative version of non- relativistic Newtonian mechanics in terms of a real Hilbert space mathematical framework. It is demonstrated that the physics of this scheme correspondent with the standard formulation.…
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,…
We address nonclassicality of hybrid coherent states (HCS), i.e. states expressed as superpositions of coherent states and single-photon-added coherent (SPAC) state. In particular, we evaluate their photon statistics, squeezing, and…
We derive the steady state solution of the Fokker-Planck equation that describes the dynamics of the nondegenerate optical parametric oscillator in the truncated Wigner representation of the density operator. The adiabatic limit of strong…
We consider the Wigner equation corresponding to a nonlinear Schroedinger evolution of the Hartree type in the semiclassical limit $\hbar\to 0$. Under appropriate assumptions on the initial data and the interaction potential, we show that…
The density operator for a quantum system in thermal equilibrium with its environment depends on Planck's constant, as well as the temperature. At high temperatures, the Weyl representation, that is, the thermal Wigner function, becomes…
