Precise modeling of extended sources is a central challenge in modern optical engineering, laser physics, and computational lithography. Unlike ideal point sources or completely incoherent thermal radiation sources, real-world light sources…

In the framework of the spatial coherence wavelets, different features of the first-order spatial coherence (Young's interference) are analysed by calculating the corresponding marginal power spectrum, a close related quantity to the…

We derive a quantum version of the classical-optics Wiener-Khintchine theorem within the framework of detection of phase-space displacements with a suitably designed quantum ruler. A phase-pace based quantum mutual coherence function is…

It is well known that direct observation of interference and diffraction pattern in the intensity distribution requires a spatially coherent source. Optical waves emitted from portions beyond the coherence area possess statistically…

This note discusses the Wigner function representation from the standpoint of establishing a holography-like correspondence between the descriptions of a generic quantum system in the phase space ('bulk') picture versus its spacetime…

The representation of quantum states via phase-space functions constitutes an intuitive technique to characterize light. However, the reconstruction of such distributions is challenging as it demands specific types of detectors and detailed…

We extend shapelets for the analysis of galaxy images to be available in a phase space, introducing \textit{Wigner Function Shapelets (WFS)}. Whereas conventional shapelets expand images separately in configuration or Fourier space using…

To quantify the effect of decoherence in quantum measurements, it is desirable to measure not merely the square modulus of the spatial wavefunction, but the entire density matrix, whose phases carry information about momentum and how pure…

Analytic expressions of the spatial coherence of partially coherent fields propagating in the Fresnel regime in all but the simplest of scenarios are largely lacking and calculation of the Fresnel transform typically entails tedious…

Partially coherent light is abundant in many physical systems, and its propagation properties are well understood. Here we extend current theory of propagation of partially coherent light beams to the field of coherent diffusion. Based on a…

We present a new mathematical framework for incorporating partial coherence effects into wave optics simulations through a comprehensive surface-to-detector approach. Unlike traditional ensemble averaging methods, our dual-component…

We advance a phase-space theory of partially coherent accelerating, non-diffracting beams employing the Wigner distribution function (WDF). We derive a general expression for the WDF of any accelerating, diffraction-free beam of arbitrary…

We present Hilbert space representation for a relatively broad class of minimum-length deformed quantum mechanical models obtained by incorporating a space-time uncertainty relation into quantum mechanics. The correspondingly modified field…

Motivated by some well-known results in the phase space description of quantum optics and quantum information theory, we aim to describe the formalism of quantum field theory by explicitly considering the holomorphic representation for a…

We study the problem of measurement-induced decoherence using the phase-space approach employing the Gaussian-smoothed Wigner distribution function. Our investigation is based on the notion that measurement-induced decoherence is…

We show that radiation from complex and inherently random but correlated wave sources can be modelled efficiently by using an approach based on the Wigner distribution function. Our method exploits the connection between correlation…

We review the Weyl-Wigner formulation of quantum mechanics in phase space. We discuss the concept of Narcowich-Wigner spectrum and use it to state necessary and sufficient conditions for a phase space function to be a Wigner distribution.…

We study the equilibration and relaxation processes within the time-dependent Hartree-Fock approach using the Wigner distribution function. On the technical side we present a geometrically unrestricted framework which allows us to calculate…

The notion of brightness is efficiently conveyed in geometric optics as density of rays in phase space. Wigner has introduced his famous distribution in quantum mechanics as a quasi-probability density of a quantum system in phase space.…

We demonstrate experimentally a novel technique for characterizing transverse spatial coherence using the Wigner distribution function. The presented method is based on measuring interference between a pair of rotated and displaced replicas…
