Generalized Wigner Operator and Bivariate Normal Distribution in p-q Phase Space

We introduce a kind of generalized Wigner operator, whose normally ordered form can lead to the bivariate normal distribution in p-q phase space. While this bivariate normal distribution corresponds to the pure vacuum state in the generalized Wigner function phase space, it corresponds to a mixed state in the usual Wigner function phase space.     

Bivariate averaging and the Wigner distribution function

In order to gain insight into the nature of the Wigner and related distribution functions, bivariate averaging functions of real unbounded variables with absolutely continuous marginals that are ordinary probabilities are considered. Accordingly variables are chosen to be phase space variables that are respectively eigenvalues of position and momentum operators. The impact of the condition that the marginals are squared magnitudes of amplitudes that are Fourier transforms of one another is emphasized by the delay of the introduction of this Fourier transform condition until after the form for a bivariate distribution with the given marginals is obtained. When the respective amplitudes are fourier transforms of one another, special cases of the bivariate averaging function correspond to generalized Wigner functions characterized by a parameterα. Such anα-Wigner function can be used as the basis of a consistent averaging procedure if an appropriate corresponding representation for underlying operators to be averaged is specified. Properties of theα-Wigner functions are summarized.

Wigner Function for Klein--Gordon Landau Problem

First we calculate the Wigner phase-space distribution function for the Klein-Gordan Landau problem on a commmutative space. Then we study the modifications introduced by the coordinate-coordinate noncommuting and momentum-momentum noncommuting, namely, by using a generalized Bopp's shift method we construct the Wigner function for the Klein-Gordan Landau problem both on a noncommutative space (NCS) and a noncommutative phase space (NCPS).     

Pure state condition for the semi-classical Wigner function

The Wigner function W(p,q) is a symmetrized Fourier transform of the density matrix ρ(q₁,q₂), representing quantum-mechanical states or their statistical mixture in phase space. Identification of these two alternatives in the case of density matrices depends on the projection identity ρ² = ρ; its Wigner correspondence is the pure state condition. This criterion is applied to the Wigner functions obtained from standard semiclassical wave functions, determining as pure states those whose classical invariant tori satisfy the generalized Bohr-Sommerfeld conditions. Superpositions of eigenstates are then examined and it is found that the Wigner function corresponding to Gaussian random wave functions are smoothed out in the manner of mixed-state Wigner functions. Attention is also given to the pure-state condition in the case where an angular coordinate is used.     

Weyl Ordering Symbol Method for Studying Wigner Function of the Damping Field

The symbolic method (including normal ordering. antinormal ordering and Weyl ordering symbol) is usually utilized to tackle miscellaneous operators which have different commutative relations. Considering the Weyl ordering symbol’s remarkable properties, we have efficiently and conveniently derived the Wigner distribution function for field damping in a squeezed bath and a vacuum bath respectively, and then examined the decoherence processes from the plots of Wigner function and its contour in quantum phase space. Alternatively, we can employ a general Wigner operator under phase space transform to calculate distribution function and discuss the damping process.     

Linear Amplifier and Quasiprobability Distribution Functions for the Squeezed Displaced Fock States

The nondiagonal P-function (complex andpositive) for the output field with the squeezedcoherent state as an initial state to a linear amplifieris obtained. Moments of the field operators arecalculated. The Wigner distribution function for the outputof a linear amplifier is discussed. The input lightfield of the linear amplifier is assumed to be asqueezed displaced Fock state. Investigation of theWigner distribution functions at the output fields iscarried out, where it is found that the distributionspreads out as it rotates in the phase space with timedevelopment. For the case of a squeezed displaced Fock state input it is found that thedistribution disintegrates into two subdistributions.The phase distribution for the output light is discussedthrough the phase function associated with the Wigner function for different inputs.     

Wigner function for the generalized excited pair coherent state

This paper introduces the generalized excited pair coherent state （GEPCS）. Using the entangled state 〈η〉 representation of Wigner operator, it obtains the Wigner function for the GEPCS. In the ρ-γ phase space, the variations of the Wigner function distributions with the parameters q, α, k and l are discussed. The tomogram of the GEPCS is calculated with the help of the Radon transform between the Wigner operator and the projection operator of the entangled state ｜η1, η2, τ1, τ2｜. The entangled states ｜η〉 and ｜η1, η2, τ1, τ2〉 provide two good representative space for studying the Wigner functions and tomograms of various two-mode correlated quantum states.

On the basis of the review of the Wigner function in the commutative space, which is subject to the *eigenvalue equation, Hamiltonian of the spin half Landau problem in the non commutative phase space is given. Then, energy levels and Wigner functions in the form of a matrix of the spin half Landau problem in the non commutative phase space are obtained by means of the _*-eigenvalue equation (or Moyal equation).     

Correspondence rules and properties of smoothed phase space distribution functions

According to the link between phase space distribution functions and correspondence rules via an arbitrary weighting function, we show that a necessary and sufficient condition for obtaining a direct correspondence between a real phase space distribution function and the density operator of a pure state imposes the weighting function to be unimodular. The same condition is also shown to a particular case of interest for deriving a general formula from which previous known results such as orthonormality of phase space eigenfunctions, non-negativity of smoothed Wigner distributions or phase space interpretation of the scalar product are recovered as special cases.

Quantum States and Hardy’s Formulation of the Uncertainty Principle: a Symplectic Approach

We express the condition for a phase space Gaussian to be the Wigner distribution of a mixed quantum state in terms of the symplectic capacity of the associated Wigner ellipsoid. Our results are motivated by Hardy’s formulation of the uncertainty principle for a function and its Fourier transform. As a consequence we are able to state a more general form of Hardy’s theorem.

Two-Mode Excited Squeezed Vacuum State and Its Properties

In this paper, the two-mode excited squeezed vacuum state (TESVS) is studied by using the statistical method. By calculating the normalization of the TESVS, a new form of Jacobi polynomials and some new identities are obtained. The photon number distribution of the TESVS is given and it is a simple form of Jacobi polynomials. Using the entangled state representation of Wigner operator, the Wigner function of the TESVS is obtainded and the variations of the Wigner function with the parameters m, n, and r are discussed. Here from the phase space point of view the TESVS can be well interpreted and described.

Photon Statistics of Generic Two-Mode Squeezed Coherent Light

for two-mode squeezed coherent states, the photon distribution function is expressed in terms of both four-variable and two-variable Hermite polynomials depending on two squeezing parameters, the relative phase between the two oscillators, their “spatial” orientation, and a four-dimensional shift in phase space of the electromagnetic field oscillator. The oscillations of the photon distribution function are discussed. The Wigner function and Q-function of the generic two-mode squeezed vacuum and squeezed coherent state are calculated explicitly.     

Admissible states in quantum phase space

We address the question of which phase space functionals might represent a quantum state. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for both pure and mixed phase space quantum states. From the pure state quantum condition we obtain a formula for the momentum correlations of arbitrary order and derive explicit expressions for the wave functions in terms of time-dependent and independent Wigner functions. We show that the pure state quantum condition is preserved by the Moyal (but not by the classical Liouville) time evolution and is consistent with a generic stargenvalue equation. As a by-product Baker's converse construction is generalized both to an arbitrary stargenvalue equation, associated to a generic phase space symbol, as well as to the time-dependent case. These results are properly extended to the mixed state quantum condition, which is proved to imply the Heisenberg uncertainty relations. Globally, this formalism yields the complete characterization of the kinematical structure of Wigner quantum mechanics. The previous results are then succinctly generalized for various quasi-distributions. Finally, the formalism is illustrated through the simple examples of the harmonic oscillator and the free Gaussian wave packet. As a by-product, we obtain in the former example an integral representation of the Hermite polynomials.     

A Wigner-function formulation of finite-state quantum mechanics

For a non-relativistic system with only continous degrees of freedom (no spin, for example), the original Wigner function can be used as an alternative to the density matrix to represent an arbitrary quantum state. Indeed, the quantum mechanics of such systems can be formulated entirely in terms of the Wigner function and other functions on phase space, with no mention of state vectors or operators. In the present paper this Wigner-function formulation is extended to systems having only a finite number of orthogonal states. The “phase space” for such a system is taken to be not continuous but discrete. In the simplest cases it can be pictured as an N×N array of points, where N is the number of orthogonal states. The Wigner function is a real function on this phase space, defined so that its properties are closely analogous to those of the original Wigner function. In this formulation, observables, like states, are represented by real functions on the discrete phase space. The complex numbers still play an important role: they appear in an essential way in the rule for forming composite systems.
