چکیده
We define the Wigner entropy of a quantum state as differential Shannon function state. This quantity is properly defined only for states that possess positive function, which we name Wigner-positive states, but argue it proper measure uncertainty in phase space. It invariant under symplectic transformations (displacements, rotations, and squeezing) conjecture lower bounded by $ln\ensuremath{\pi}+1$ within convex set states. reaches this bound Gaussian pure are natural minimum-uncertainty bears resemblance with Wehrl-Lieb conjecture, prove over subset passive harmonic oscillator particular relevance thermodynamics.

Finally, Wigner-R\'enyi extended reached

Wigner separability entropy and complexity of quantum dynamics.
We propose the Wigner separability entropy as a measure of complexity of a quantum state. This quantity measures the number of terms that effectively contribute to the Schmidt decomposition of the Wigner function with respect to a chosen phase-space decomposition. We prove that the Wigner separability entropy is equal to the operator space entanglement entropy, measuring entanglement in the spa...
متن کاملEntropy and wigner functions
The properties of an alternative definition of quantum entropy, based on Wigner functions, are discussed. Such a definition emerges naturally from the Wigner representation of quantum mechanics, and can easily quantify the amount of entanglement of a quantum state. It is shown that smoothing of the Wigner function induces an increase in entropy. This fact is used to derive some simple rules to ...
متن کاملWigner distributions in quantum mechanics
The Weyl-Wigner description of quantum mechanical operators and states in classical phase-space language is well known for Cartesian systems. We describe a new approach based on ideas of Dirac which leads to the same results but with interesting additional insights. A way to set up Wigner distributions in an interesting non-Cartesian case, when the configuration space is a compact connected Lie...
متن کاملWigner Modelling of Quantum Wires
Aggressively scaled More Moore devices such as FDSOI FETs, FinFETs, and nanowire transistors are designed around the concept of spatial confinement, which challenges basic notions of electron transport, originally derived under the assumption of a bulk crystal. Confined electrons do not have a well-defined three-dimensional momentum and a continuous energy spectrum. Physical models with confine...
متن کاملQuantum maximum entropy principle and the moments of the generalized wigner function
By introducing a quantum entropy functional of the reduced density matrix, we construct a rigorous scheme to develop quantum hydrodynamic models. The principle of quantum maximum entropy permits to solve the closure problem for a quantum hydrodynamic set of balance equations corresponding to an arbitrary number of moments in the framework of extended thermodynamics. Quantum contributions are ex...
