We are concerned with an information-theoretic measure of uncertainty for quantum systems. Precisely, the Wehrl entropy of the phase-space probability $Q^{(m)}_{\hat{\rho}}=\left\langle z,m|\hat{\rho}|z,m\right\rangle $ which is known as…

In this Letter, we interpret the Husimi function as the conditional probability density of continuously measuring a stream of constant position and momentum outcomes, indefinitely. This gives rise to an alternative definition that naturally…

The Husimi distribution is proposed for a phase space analysis of quantum phase transitions in the two-dimensional $U(3)$ vibron model for $N$-size molecules. We show that the inverse participation ratio and Wehrl's entropy of the Husimi…

We investigate possible entropy production in Yang-Mills (YM) field theory by using a quantum distribution function called Husimi function $f_{\rm H}(A, E, t)$ for YM field, which is given by a coarse graining of Wigner function and…

The Wehrl entropy of a quantum state is the Shannon entropy of its coherent-state distribution function, and remains non-zero even for pure states. We investigate the relationship between this entropy and the many-particle quantum…

We discuss a phase space description of the photon number distribution of non classical states which is based on Husimi's $Q(\alpha)$ function and does not rely in the WKB approximation. We illustrate this approach using the examples of…
