Features of Time-independent Wigner Functions

چکیده
TheWigner phase-space distribution function provides the basis for Moyal’s deformation quantization alternative to the more conventional Hilbert space and path integral quantizations. General features of time-independent Wigner functions are explored here, including the functional (“star”) eigenvalue equations they satisfy; their projective orthogonality spectral properties; their Darboux (“supersymmetric”) isospectral potential recursions; and their canonical transformations. These features are illustrated explicitly through simple solvable potentials: the harmonic oscillator, the linear potential, the Pöschl-Teller potential, and the Liouville potential.

Pathologies cardiac discrimination using the Fast Fourir Transform (FFT) The short time Fourier transforms (STFT) and the Wigner distribution (WD)
This paper is concerned with a synthesis study of the fast Fourier transform (FFT), the short time Fourier transform (STFT and the Wigner distribution (WD) in analysing the phonocardiogram signal (PCG) or heart cardiac sounds. The FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) can provide a basic understanding of the frequency contents of the heart sounds. The STFT is obtained by calculating the Fourier tran...
متن کاملGenerating All Wigner Functions
In the context of phase-space quantization, matrix elements and observables result from integration of c-number functions over phase space, with Wigner functions serving as the quasi-probability measure. The complete sets of Wigner functions necessary to expand all phase-space functions include off-diagonal Wigner functions, which may appear technically involved. Nevertheless, it is shown here ...
متن کاملThe Quantum Statistical Mechanical Theory of Transport Processes
A new derivation of the quantum Boltzmann transport equation for the Fermion system from the quantum time evolution equation for the wigner distribution function is presented. The method exhibits the origin of the time - irreversibility of the Boltzmann equation. In the present work, the spin dependent and indistinguishibility of particles are also considered.

متن کاملIntroduction to the special issue on Wigner functions
The Wigner function was first derived by E.P. Wigner around 1931 as an exotic outcome of the wave mechanics which, being defined in the phase space, does not favor either coordinate or momentum variables. Pioneered by H.J. Groenewold and J.E.Moyal theWigner formulation of quantum mechanics evolved until the end of last century, to a fully autonomous, independent alternative to Hilbert space mec...
