Wigner Function:from Ensemble Average of Density Operator to Its One Matrix Element in Entangled Pure States

We show that the Wigner function W = Tr(△ρ) (an ensemble average of the density operator ρ, △ is theWigner operator) can be expressed as a matrix element of ρ in the entangled pure states. In doing so, converting fromquantum master equations to time-evolution equation of the Wigner functions seems direct and concise. The entangledstates are defined in the enlarged Fock space with a fictitious freedom.

Some New Properties of Wigner Function Studied in Entangled State Representation

Based on the Wigner operator in the entangled state representation we study some new important properties of Wigner function for bipartite entangled systems, such as size of an entangled state, upper bound of Wigner functions, etc. These discussions demonstrate the beauty and elegance of the entangled state representation.     

Tomography of Nonclassical States

A review of the symplectic tomography method is presented. Superpositions of different types of photon states are considered within the framework of the tomography approach. Such nonclassical photon states as even and odd coherent states, crystallized Schrödinger cat states, and other superposition states are studied using the construction of symplectic tomograms (tomographic symbols) and the star-product formalism for tomograms.     

The probability representation of quantum states and integral relations for Hermite and Laguerre polynomials

Some integral relations for orthogonal polynomials are elucidated. We review the generic scheme of the star-product construction and study in detail the star-product scheme based on the tomographic map. The dual star-product operator symbols are also considered and studied. Some integral kernels related to the star-product are calculated and new integral formulas for special functions are derived.     

Quasiprobability and Probability Distributions for Spin-1/2 States

States in the Hilbert space formulation and in the phase space formulation of quantum mechanics

We consider the problem of testing whether a given matrix in the Hilbert space formulation of quantum mechanics or a function considered in the phase space formulation of quantum theory represents a quantum state. We propose several practical criteria for recognising states in these two versions of quantum physics. After minor modifications, they can be applied to check positivity of any operators acting in a Hilbert space or positivity of any functions from an algebra with a ∗$\ast$-product of Weyl type.

Metric of States

Metric of quantum states plays an important role in quantum information theory. In this letter, we find the deep connection between quantum logic theory and quantum information theory. Using the method of quantum logic, we can get a famous inequality in quantum information theory, and we answer a question raised by S. Gudder.     

Wigner Distribution Function for the Time-Dependent Quadratic-Hamiltonian Quantum System using the Lewis–Riesenfeld Invariant Operator

We investigate the Wigner distribution function of the general time-dependent quadratic-Hamiltonian quantum system with the Lewis–Riesenfeld invariant operator method. The Wigner distribution function of the system in Fock state, coherent state, squeezed state, and thermal state are derived. We apply our study to the one-dimensional motion of a Brownian particle and to the driven oscillator with strongly pulsating mass.PACS: 03.65.-w, 03.65.Ca

The Fourier slice transformation of the Wigner operator and the quantum tomogram of the density operator

Using the Weyl quantization scheme and based on the Fourier slice transformation(FST) of the Wigner operator,we construct a new expansion formula of the density operator ρ,with the expansion coefficient being the FST of ρ’s classical Weyl correspondence,and the latter the Fourier transformation of ρ’s quantum tomogram.The coordinate-momentum intermediate representation is used as the Radon transformation of the Wigner operator.
