In this work we consider the inverse problem of determining the properties of a Wigner function from the set of its zeros (the nodal set). The previous state of the art of the problem is Hudson's theorem, which shows that an empty nodal set…
The cross-Wigner distribution $W(f,g)$ of two functions or temperate distributions $f,g$ is a fundamental tool in quantum mechanics and in signal analysis. Usually, in applications in time-frequency analysis $f$ and $g$ belong to some…
Metaplectic Wigner distributions are joint time-frequency representations that are parametrized by a symplectic matrix and generalize the short-time Fourier transform and the Wigner distribution. We investigate the question which…
In this paper we study how zeros of the Fourier transform of a function $f: \mathbb{Z}_p^d \to \mathbb{C}$ are related to the structure of the function itself. In particular, we introduce a notion of bandwidth of such functions and discuss…
We have studied statistical properties of the values of the Wigner function W(x) of 1D quantum maps on compact 2D phase space of finite area V. For this purpose we have defined a Wigner function probability distribution P(w) = (1/V) int…
The celebrated Hudson theorem states that the Gaussian functions in $\mathbb{R}^d$ are the only functions whose Wigner distribution is everywhere positive. Motivated by quantum information theory, D. Gross proved an analogous result on the…
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…
We study Gaussian random functions on the complex plane whose stochastics are invariant under the Weyl-Heisenberg group (twisted stationarity). The theory is modeled on translation invariant Gaussian entire functions, but allows for…
We link together three themes which had remained separated so far: the Hilbert space properties of the Riemann zeros, the ``dual Poisson formula'' of Duffin-Weinberger (also named by us co-Poisson formula), and the ``Sonine spaces'' of…
This paper aims to explore the inherent connection among Heisenberg groups, quantum Fourier transform and (quasiprobability) distribution functions. Distribution functions for continuous and finite quantum systems are examined first as a…
We study the conditional distribution of zeros of a Gaussian system of random polynomials (and more generally, holomorphic sections), given that the polynomials or sections vanish at a point p (or a fixed finite set of points). The…
We study the properties of the discrete Wigner distribution for two qubits introduced by Wotters. In particular, we analyze the entanglement properties within the Wigner distribution picture by considering the negativity of the Wigner…
We define a Wigner distribution function for a one-dimensional finite quantum system, in which the position and momentum operators have a finite (multiplicity-free) spectrum. The distribution function is thus defined on discrete…
Given a function $f\in L^2(\mathbb R)$, we consider means and variances associated to $f$ and its Fourier transform $\hat{f}$, and explore their relations with the Wigner transform $W(f)$, obtaining a simple new proof of Shapiro's…
Let $W$ be a random variable with mean zero and variance $\sigma^2$. The distribution of a variate $W^*$, satisfying $EWf(W)=\sigma ^2 Ef'(W^*)$ for smooth functions $f$, exists uniquely and defines the zero bias transformation on the…
Let $Z$ and $W$ be a pair of point distributions of finite upper density on the complex plane $\mathbb C$ with the real axis $\mathbb R$. We give several variants of necessary and at the same time sufficient conditions for their…
We consider Schr\"{o}dinger equations with real quadratic Hamiltonians, for which the Wigner distribution of the solution at a given time equals, up to a linear coordinate transformation, the Wigner distribution of the initial condition.…
We study the distribution (w.r.t. the vacuum state) of family of partial sums Sm of position operators on weakly monotone Fock space. We show that any single operator has the Wigner law, and an arbitrary family of them (with the index set…
Wigner phase space quasi-probability distribution function is a Fourier transform related to a given quantum mechanical wave function. It is shown that for the wave functions of type $\psi (q)=e^{-aq^2}\phi (q)$, the Wigner function can be…
We construct a semiclassical expression for the Husimi function of autonomous systems in one degree of freedom, by smoothing with a Gaussian function an expression that captures the essential features of the Wigner function in the…
