On the Wigner transform of solutions to the Schrödinger equation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we use the Wigner transform to study properties of solutions to the Schrödinger equation. In particular, we present an elementary proof of the time decay inequalities for the free particle and harmonic oscillator. Furthermore, we estimate certain localized integral quantities in phase space, involving the Wigner transform of solutions to the Schrödinger equation.

Multi-phase computations of the semiclassical limit of the Schrödinger equation and related problems: Whitham vs Wigner
We present and compare two different techniques to obtain the multi-phase solutions for the Schrödinger equation in the semiclassical limit. The first is Whitham’s averaging method, which gives the modulation equations governing the evolution of multi-phase solutions. The second is the Wigner transform, a convenient tool to derive the semiclassical limit equation in the phase space—the Vlasov e...

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 کاملSemiclassical Models for the Schrödinger Equation with Periodic Potentials and Band Crossings∗
The Bloch decomposition plays a fundamental role in the study of quantum mechanics and wave propagation in periodic media. Most of the homogenization theory developed for the study of high frequency or semiclassical limit for these problems assumes no crossing of the Bloch bands, resulting in classical Liouville equations in the limit along each Bloch band. In this article, we derive semiclassi...

A classical theorem of Stone and von Neumann says that the Schrödinger representation is, up to unitary equivalences, the only irreducible representation of the Heisenberg group on the Hilbert space of square-integrable functions on configuration space. Using the Wigner-Moyal transform we construct an irreducible representation of the Heisenberg group on a certain Hilbert space of square-integr...
