In the last decade it has become clear that one of the central themes within Gabor analysis (with respect to general time-frequency lattices) is a duality theory for Gabor frames, including the Wexler-Raz biorthogonality condition, the…

A general principle says that the matrix of a Fourier integral operator with respect to wave packets is concentrated near the curve of propagation. We prove a precise version of this principle for Fourier integral operators with a smooth…

Starting from Feynman's Lagrangian description of quantum mechanics, we propose a method to construct explicitly the propagator for the Wigner distribution function of a single system. For general quadratic Lagrangians, only the classical…
Metaplectic Wigner distributions generalize the most popular time-frequency representations, such as the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) and $\tau$-Wigner distributions, using metaplectic operators. However, in order for a metaplectic…
We study the propagator of the wave equation on a closed Riemannian manifold $M$. We propose a geometric approach to the construction of the propagator as a single oscillatory integral global both in space and in time with a distinguished…

I investigate the propagator of the Wigner function for a dissipative chaotic quantum map. I show that a small amount of dissipation reduces the propagator of sufficiently smooth Wigner functions to its classical counterpart, the…

We present a time-frequency framework adapted to dispersive phase functions via a subdyadic geometry in phase space. On top of this geometry we construct stable Gabor frames with quantitative control of overlap, almost orthogonality, and…

We study heat and wave type equations on a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ by considering non-local operators in time with any positive densely defined linear operator with discrete spectrum. We show the explicit representation of the…
In the framework of statistical optics, a Wigner function represents partially coherent radiation. A Gaussian Wigner function, which is an equivalent representation of the more commonly used Gaussian Schell-model cross-spectral density, may…
We perform Wigner analysis of linear operators. Namely, the standard time-frequency representation \emph{Short-time Fourier Transform} (STFT) is replaced by the $\mathcal{A}$-\emph{Wigner distribution} defined by $W_{\mathcal A}…
The Heisenberg evolution of a given unitary operator corresponds classically to a fixed canonical transformation that is viewed through a moving coordinate system. The operators that form the bases of the Weyl representation and its Fourier…

The Wigner-Weyl transform and phase space formulation of a density matrix approach are applied to a non-Hermitian model which is quadratic in positions and momenta. We show that in the presence of a quantum environment or reservoir, mean…
The propagator which evolves the wave-function in NRQM, can be expressed as a matrix element of a time evolution operator: i.e $ G_{\rm NR}(x)= \langle{\mathbf{x}_2}|{U_{\rm NR}(t)}|{\mathbf{x}_1}\rangle$ in terms of the orthonormal…
