The Wigner-Weyl-Moyal Formalism on Algebraic Structures
We first introduce the Wigner-Weyl-Moyal formalism for a theory whose phase-space is an arbitrary Lie algebra. We also generalize to quantum Lie algebras and to supersymmetric theories. It turns out that the non-commutativity leads to a deformation of the classical phase-space: instead of being a vector space it becomes a manifold, the topology of which is given by the commutator relations. It ...
متن کاملWigner function for discrete phase space: exorcising ghost images
We construct, using simple geometrical arguments, a Wigner function defined on a discrete phase space of arbitrary integer Hilbert-space dimension that is free of redundancies. “Ghost images” plaguing other Wigner functions for discrete phase spaces are thus revealed as artifacts. It allows to devise a corresponding phase-space propagator in an unambiguous manner. We apply our definitions to ei...
متن کاملDecoherence effects in the Wigner function formalism
We demonstrate the ability of the phase space formulation of quantum mechanics to provide convenient means and intuitive notions for exploring the process of transition from a quantum to a classical state known as decoherence. The Wigner equation, which is usually relevant for electron transport in nanostructures, augmented by the Boltzmann scattering operator is now applied to the time depende...
متن کاملMoyal Brackets, Star Products and the Generalised Wigner Function
The Wigner-WeylMoyal approach to Quantum Mechanics is recalled, and similarities to classical probability theory emphasised. The Wigner distribution function is generalised and viewed as a construction of a bosonic object, a target space co-ordinate, for example, in terms of a bilinear convolution of two fermionic objects, e.g. a quark antiquark pair. This construction is essentially non-local,...
متن کاملNanoelectronic Device Simulation Based on the Wigner Function Formalism
Coherent transport in mesoscopic devices is well described by the Schrödinger equation supplemented by open boundary conditions. When electronic devices are operated at room temperature, however, a realistic transport model needs to include carrier scattering. In this work the kinetic equation for the Wigner function is employed as a model for dissipative quantum transport. Carrier scattering i...
