We present an operational definition of the Wigner function. Our method relies on the Fresnel transform of measured Rabi oscillations and applies to motional states of trapped atoms as well as to field states in cavities. We illustrate this…
On the basis of the phase states, we present the correct integral expressions of the two number-phase Wigner functions discovered so far. These correct forms are derived from those defined in the extended Fock space with negative number…
We give a brief overview of the kinetic theory for spin-1/2 fermions in Wigner function formulism. The chiral and spin kinetic equations can be derived from equations for Wigner functions. A general Wigner function has 16 components which…
A single mode realization of SU(1,1) algebra is proposed. This realization makes it possible to reduce the problem of two nonlinear interacting oscillators to the problem of free moving particle.
We compute the covariant Wigner function for spin-1/2 fermions in an arbitrarily strong magnetic field by exactly solving the Dirac equation at non-zero fermion-number and chiral-charge densities. The Landau energy levels as well as a set…

The Wigner d function, which is the essential part of an irreducible representation of SU(2) and SO(3) parameterized with Euler angles, has been know to suffer from a serious numerical errors at high spins, if it is calculated by means of…
The general solution of SUSY intertwining relations of first order for two-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators with position-dependent (effective) mass is built in terms of four arbitrary functions. The procedure of separation of variables…
This dissertation serves as a general introduction to Wigner functions, phase space, and quantum metrology but also strives to be useful as a how-to guide for those who wish to delve into the realm of using continuous variables, to describe…
Using the quadrature bases that incorporate the spatiotemporal degrees of freedom, we develop a Wigner functional theory for quantum optics, as an extension of the Moyal formalism. Since the spatiotemporal quadrature bases span the complete…
We introduce kernel estimators for the semicircle law. In this first part of our general theory on the estimators, we prove the consistency and conduct simulation study to show the performance of the estimators. We also point out that…
We examine the effect of the decoherence-induced reduction of correlation length on a one-dimensional scattering problem by solving numerically the evolution equation for the Wigner function with decoherence proposed in [L. Barletti, G.…
The use of the Wigner function for the study of quantum transport in open systems present severe criticisms. Some of the problems arise from the assumption of infinite coherence length of the electron dynamics outside the system of…
We study the question under which conditions the zero set of a (cross-) Wigner distribution W (f, g) or a short-time Fourier transform is empty. This is the case when both f and g are generalized Gaussians, but we will construct less…
We pose and resolve a seeming paradox about spontaneous symmetry breaking in the quantum theory of infinite systems. For a symmetry to be spontaneously broken, it must not be implementable by a unitary operator. But Wigner's theorem…
We derive dispersion estimates for solutions of the one-dimensional discrete perturbed Schr\"odinger and wave equations. In particular, we improve upon previous works and weaken the conditions on the potentials. To this end we also provide…
Using the Wigner-Vlasov formalism, an exact 3D solution of the Schr\"odinger equation for a scalar particle in an electromagnetic field is constructed. Electric and magnetic fields are non-uniform. According to the exact expression for the…
Mutual space-frequency distribution is proposed and it is shown that Wigner and Weyl distribution functions are only particular cases of these distribution. Mutual distribution for Gaussian signal is analytically obtained. The simple…
Following a general method proposed earlier, we construct here Wigner functions defined on coadjoint orbits of a class of semidirect product groups. The groups in question are such that their unitary duals consist purely of representations…
Wigner functions generically attain negative values and hence are not probability densities. We prove an asymptotic expansion of Wigner functions in terms of Hermite spectrograms, which are probability densities. The expansion provides…
