We show that classicality emerges during quantum phase transitions due to parametric interactions without coupling to environments. The Wigner functions are explicitly calculated for the Gaussian vacuum, number, and thermal states of a free…
Canonical quantization may be approached from several different starting points. The usual approaches involve promotion of c-numbers to q-numbers, or path integral constructs, each of which generally succeeds only in Cartesian coordinates.…
A unified approach to the analysis of quantum phase transitions in some different Curie-Weiss models is proposed such that they are treated and analyzed under the same general scheme. This approach takes three steps: balancing the quantum…

The canonical commutation relation, $[Q,P] = i\hbar$, stands at the foundation of quantum theory and the original Hilbert space. The interpretation of $P$ & $Q$ as observables has always relied on the analogies that exist between the…
In this work we present the formal background used to develop the methods used in earlier works to extend the truncated Wigner representation of quantum and atom optics in order to address multi-time problems. The truncated Wigner…

The Weyl-Wigner representation of quantum mechanics allows one to map the density operator in a function in phase space - the Wigner function - which acts like a probability distribution. In the context of statistical mechanics, this…
