The Weyl-Wigner representation of quantum mechanics allows one to map the density operator in a function in phase space - the Wigner function - which acts like a probability distribution. In the context of statistical mechanics, this…
We introduce Quantum Time-Frequency Analysis, which expands the approach of Quantum Harmonic Analysis to include modulations of operators in addition to translations. This is done by a projective representation of double-phase space, and we…
We study the Moyal quantization for the constrained system. One of the purposes is to give a proper definition of the Wigner-Weyl(WW) correspondence, which connects the Weyl symbols with the corresponding quantum operators. A Hamiltonian in…
We study the covariance property of quadratic time-frequency distributions with respect to the action of the extended symplectic group. We show how covariance is related, and in fact in competition, with the possibility of damping the…
Time-symmetric quantum mechanics can be described in the usual Weyl--Wigner--Moyal formalism (WWM) by using the properties of the Wigner distribution, and its generalization, the cross-Wigner distribution. The use of the latter makes clear…
We perform Wigner analysis of linear operators. Namely, the standard time-frequency representation \emph{Short-time Fourier Transform} (STFT) is replaced by the $\mathcal{A}$-\emph{Wigner distribution} defined by $W_{\mathcal A}…
The quantum analogs of the derivatives with respect to coordinates q_k and momenta p_k are commutators with operators P_k and $Q_k. We consider quantum analogs of fractional Riemann-Liouville and Liouville derivatives. To obtain the quantum…
We construct a general quantization procedure for square integrable functions on well-behaved connected exponential Lie groups. The Lie groups in question should admit at least one co-adjoint orbit of maximal possible dimension. The…
In this work, we present straightforward and concrete computations of the unitary irreducible representations of the Euclidean motion group $M(2)$ employing the methods of deformation quantization. Deformation quantization is a quantization…
Wigner's quasi-probability distribution function in phase-space is a special (Weyl) representation of the density matrix. It has been useful in describing quantum transport in quantum optics; nuclear physics; decoherence (eg, quantum…
A new pseudoclassical model to describe Weyl particles is proposed. Different ways of its quantization are presented. They all lead to the theory of Weyl particle; namely, the massless Dirac equation and the Weyl condition are reproduced.…
We develop a geometric framework for Weyl quantization on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds, in which pseudodifferential operators act on sections of vector bundles equipped with arbitrary connections. We construct the associated star product and…
We study nonlinear concentration problems for time-frequency distributions in the Cohen class. Using recent techniques from quantum harmonic analysis (QHA) we provide both positive and negative results, such as sufficient conditions for the…
The concern of this article is a semiclassical Weyl calculus on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space $H$. If $(i, H, B)$ is a Wiener triplet associated to $H$, the quantum state space will be the space of $L^2$ functions on $B$ with…
We reformulate time evolution of systems in mixed states in terms of the classical observables of correlators using the Weyl correspondence rule. The resulting equation of motion for the Wigner functional of the density matrix is found to…
The usefulness of time-frequency analysis methods in the study of quasicrystals was pointed out in a previous paper, where we proved that a tempered distribution $\mu$ on ${\mathbb R}^d$ whose Wigner transform is a measure supported on the…
In this note we study the properties of a sequence of approximate propagators for the Schr\"odinger equation, in the spirit of Feynman's path integrals. Precisely, we consider Hamiltonian operators arising as the Weyl quantization of a…
To overcome the impossibility of representing the energy of a signal simultaneously in time and frequency, many time-frequency representations have been introduced in the literature. Some of these are recalled in the Introduction. In this…
