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 derive an equation for the current of particles in energy space; particles are subject to a mean field effective potential that may represent quantum effects. From the assumption that non-interacting particles imply a free diffusion…
Active matter is driven out of equilibrium by a local influx of energy. While classical active matter has been extensively studied, the extension of active matter concepts to quantum systems has been explored far less. In this work we…
