The Weyl-Wigner-Moyal formalism for spin

Published Jun 1, 2013• 17 citations

Abstract

The Weyl-Wigner-Moyal formalism is developed for spin by means of a correspondence between spherical harmonics and spherical-harmonic tensor operators. The exact asymptotic relation among the P , Q , and Weyl symbols is found, and the analogue of the Moyal expansion is developed for the Weyl symbol of the product of two operators in terms of the symbols for the individual operators. It is shown that in the classical limit, the Weyl symbol for a commutator equals i times the Poisson bracket of the corresponding Weyl symbols.

The Weyl‐Wigner‐Moyal Formalism on a Discrete Phase Space. I. A Wigner Function for a Nonrelativistic Particle with Spin

Maciej Przanowski, Jaromir Tosiek, Francisco J. Turrubiates

Abstract The Weyl‐Wigner‐Moyal formalism for quantum particle with discrete internal degrees of freedom is developed. A one to one correspondence between operators in the Hilbert space and functions on the phase space is found. The expressions for the Stratonovich‐Weyl quantiser, star product and Wigner functions of such systems for arbitrary values of spin are obtained in detail. As examples the Landau levels and the corresponding Wigner functions for a spin nonrelativistic particle as well as the magnetic resonance for a spin nonrelativistic uncharged particle are analysed.

Torus as phase space: Weyl quantization, dequantization, and Wigner formalism

Marilena Ligabò

The Weyl quantization of classical observables on the torus (as phase space) without regularity assumptions is explicitly computed. The equivalence class of symbols yielding the same Weyl operator is characterized. The Heisenberg equation for the dynamics of general quantum observables is written through the Moyal brackets on the torus and the support of the Wigner transform is characterized. Finally, a dequantization procedure is introduced that applies, for instance, to the Pauli matrices. As a result we obtain the corresponding classical symbols.

Wigner Transforms and Weyl Transforms

Man Wah Wong

The Fourier–Wigner transform of two functions is first defined and is given an alternative expression. The Wigner transform is then defined to be the Fourier transform of the Fourier–Wigner transform. The Moyal identity, which is an analog of the Plancherel formula, is then proved for the Wigner transform. The Weyl transform with a given symbol is then defined in terms of the Wigner transform. Another formula for the Weyl transform with a given symbol is then proved and used to establish the fact that the product of two Weyl transforms is also a Weyl transform with symbol given by a twisted convolution of the two given symbols.

Covariant Weyl quantization, symbolic calculus, and the product formula

Kamil Serkan Gunturk

A covariant Wigner-Weyl quantization formalism on the manifold that uses\npseudo-differential operators is proposed. The asymptotic product formula that leads\nto the symbol calculus in the presence of gauge and gravitational fields is presented.\nThe new definition is used to get covariant differential operators from momentum\npolynomial symbols. A covariant Wigner function is defined and shown to give\ngauge-invariant results for the Landau problem. An example of the covariant Wigner\nfunction on the 2-sphere is also included.
