Recently, a new definition for a Wigner distribution function for a one-dimensional finite quantum system, in which the position and momentum operators have a finite (multiplicity-free) spectrum, was developed. This distribution function is…
We show that the cross Wigner function can be written in the form $W(\psi, \phi)= \hat S (\psi \otimes \overline{\hat\phi})$ where ${\hat\phi}$ is the Fourier transform of $\phi$ and $\hat S$ is a metaplectic operator that projects onto a…
We present a new approach, based on graphon theory, to finding the limiting spectral distributions of general Wigner-type matrices. This approach determines the moments of the limiting measures and the equations of their Stieltjes…
The Wigner-Smith (WS) time delay matrix relates a system's scattering matrix to its frequency derivative and gives rise to so-called WS modes that experience well-defined group delays when interacting with the system. For systems composed…
The second part of the article is devoted to field transfers by diffraction that are represented by fractional Fourier transformations whose orders are complex numbers. The corresponding effects on the Wigner distributions associated with…
We consider measurable and topological dynamical systems over locally compact abelian groups. Our main observation relates convergence of Wiener-Wintner type averages to eigenvalues of the dynamical system in question. As a consequence we…
The scaled standard Wigner matrix (symmetric with mean zero, variance one i.i.d. entries), and its limiting eigenvalue distribution, namely the semi-circular distribution, has attracted much attention. The $2k$th moment of the limit equals…
The main objective of the present paper is to establish a new uncertainty principle (UP) for the two-sided quaternion Fourier transform (QFT). This result is an extension of a result of Benedicks, Amrein and Berthier, which states that a…
We consider a multichannel wire with a disordered region of length $L$ and a reflecting boundary. The reflection of a wave of frequency $\omega$ is described by the scattering matrix $\mathcal{S}(\omega)$, encoding the probability…
A novel statistical approach based on the Wigner transform is proposed for the description of partially incoherent optical wave dynamics in nonlinear media. An evolution equation for the Wigner transform is derived from a nonlinear…
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 demonstrate that the Wigner function of a pure quantum state is a wave function in a specially tuned Dirac bra-ket formalism and argue that the Wigner function is in fact a probability amplitude for the quantum particle to be at a…
Gabor transform is one of the performed tools for time-frequency signal analysis. The principal aim of this paper is to generalize the Gabor Fourier transform to the quaternion linear canonical transform. Actually, this transform gives us…
We revisit the uncertainty principle from the point of view suggested by A. Wigderson and Y. Wigderson. This approach is based on a primary uncertainty principle from which one can derive several inequalities expressing the impossibility of…
The Friedrichs model~\cite{Friedrichs} is revisited to obtain precise results about the asymptotic behaviour (the so-called Breit-Wigner formula~\cite{Breit}) of a resonance near an embedded eigenvalue and the ``spectral concentration"…
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…
We develop a systematic analysis of the metaplectic semigroup $\mathrm{Mp}_+(d,\mathbb{C})$ associated with positive complex symplectic matrices, a notion introduced almost simultaneously and independently by H\"ormander, Brunet, Kramer,…
The free metaplectic transformation (FMT) has gained much popularity in recent times because of its various application in signal processing, paraxial optical systems, digital algorithms, optical encryption and so on. However, the FMT is…
In non-stationary signal processing, prior work has incorporated the quadratic-phase Fourier transform (QPFT) into the ambiguity function (AF) and Wigner distribution (WD) to enhance their performance. This paper introduces an advanced…
In this survey, we present various forms of the uncertainty principle (Hardy, Heisenberg, Benedicks). We further give a new interpretation of the uncertainty principles as a statement about the time-frequency localization of elements of an…
