Recently, a new definition for a Wigner distribution function for a one-dimensional finite quantum system, in which the position and momentum operators have a finite (multiplicity-free) spectrum, was developed. This distribution function is…

The randomized quantum marginal problem asks about the joint distribution of the partial traces ("marginals") of a uniform random Hermitian operator with fixed spectrum acting on a space of tensors. We introduce a new approach to this…
Given a real-valued phase-space function, it is a nontrivial task to determine whether it corresponds to a Wigner distribution for a physically acceptable quantum state. This topic has been of fundamental interest for long, and in a modern…
It is a classical result of Wigner that for an hermitian matrix with independent entries on and above the diagonal, the mean empirical eigenvalue distribution converges weakly to the semicircle law as matrix size tends to infinity. In this…
We consider random Hermitian matrices with independent upper triangular entries. Wigner's semicircle law says that under certain additional assumptions, the empirical spectral distribution converges to the semicircle distribution. We…
In this work, we consider the phase-space picture of quantum mechanics. We then introduce non-negative Wigner-like (operational) distributions \widetilde{\mathcal W}_{rho;alpha}(x,p) corresponding to the density operator \hat{rho} and being…
Polarization quasiprobability distribution defined in the Stokes space shares many important properties with the Wigner function for the position and momentum. Most notably, they both give correct one-dimensional marginal probability…
