A standard method to obtain information on a quantum state is to measure marginal distributions along many different axes in phase space, which forms a basis of quantum state tomography. We theoretically propose and experimentally…

Using an extension of the H\"ormander product of distributions, we obtain an intrinsic formulation of one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators with singular potentials. This formulation is entirely defined in terms of standard {\it Schwartz}…
