Wigner 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 کاملWigner function for nonparaxial wave fields.
The generalized optical transfer function and the spectral correlation function are investigated for nonparaxial two-dimensional wave fields. The angle-impact marginal of the four-dimensional Wigner function is derived directly. For focused wave fields of semiangle greater than 90 degrees, the spectral correlation function exhibits overlapping and interference. For focused wave fields for which...
متن کاملPhase Reconstruction from Two Wigner Distribution Projections
The connection between the instantaneous frequency and the angle derivative of the fractional power spectra is established. It permits to solve the signal retrieval problem if only two close fractional power spectra are known. This fact is used in the reconstruction of the Wigner distribution or the pseudo Wigner distribution from two close projections. Keywords—Wigner distribution, fractional ...
متن کاملPhase space quantization and Loop Quantum Cosmology: A Wigner function for the Bohr-compactified real line
We give a definition for the Wigner function for quantum mechanics on the Bohr compactification of the real line and prove a number of simple consequences of this definition. We then discuss how this formalism can be applied to loop quantum cosmology. As an example, we use the Wigner function to give a new quantization of an important building block of the Hamiltonian constraint.
متن کاملWigner distribution function of volume holograms.
Based on a linear systems approach, we derive the Wigner distribution function (WDF) of a 4f imager with a volume holographic three-dimensional pupil; then we obtain the WDF of the volume hologram itself by using the shearing properties of the WDF. Two common configurations, plane and spherical wave reference volume holograms, are examined in detail. The WDF elucidates the shift variant nature ...
