Abstract

For a quantum harmonic oscillator an explicit expression that describes the energy distribution as a coordinate function is obtained. The presence of the energy function poles is shown for the quantum system in domains where the Wigner function has negative values.

Extended Wigner function for the harmonic oscillator in the phase space

E. E. Perepelkin, Б. И. Садовников, Наталья Германовна Иноземцева +1 more

New time dependent extended Wigner functions for the quantum harmonic oscillator have been obtained in this work. The Moyal equation for the harmonic oscillator has been associated with the wave equation of a 2D membrane in the phase plane. The values of the extended Wigner function are equal to the deviation values of the points on the surface of the membrane from the equilibrium state. The positive and negative values of the extended Wigner function correspond to the direction of the deviation from the equilibrium state. As an example, a time dependent extended Wigner function corresponding to the standing wave of quasi-probability density arising in the phase plane is considered.

The Wigner function of aq-deformed harmonic oscillator model

E I Jafarov, S Lievens, S M Nagiyev +1 more

The phase space representation for a q -deformed model of the quantum harmonic oscillator is constructed. We have found explicit expressions for both the Wigner and Husimi distribution functions for the stationary states of the q -oscillator model under consideration. The Wigner function is expressed as a basic hypergeometric series, related to the Al-Salam-Chihara polynomials. It is shown that, in the limit case h → 0 ( q → 1), both the Wigner and Husimi distribution functions reduce correctly to their well-known non-relativistic analogues. Surprisingly, examination of both distribution functions in the q -deformed model shows that, when q ≪ 1, their behaviour in the phase space is similar to the ground state of the ordinary quantum oscillator, but with a displacement towards negative values of the momentum. We have also computed the mean values of the position and momentum using the Wigner function. Unlike the ordinary case, the mean value of the momentum is not zero and it depends on q and n . The ground-state-like behaviour of the distribution functions for excited states in the q -deformed model opens quite new perspectives for further experimental measurements of quantum systems in the phase space.

Probabilistic aspects of the Wigner function

Constantin V. Usenko

The Wigner function of quantum systems is an effective instrument for constructing an approximate classical description of the systems for which the classical approximation is possible. In recent years, the Wigner function formalism has been applied as well to seek indications of specific quantum properties of quantum systems leading to the impossibility of constructing the classical approximation. Used most of all as such an indication is the existence of negative values in the Wigner function for specific states of the quantum system being studied. The existence of such values itself prejudices the probabilistic interpretation of the Wigner function, though for an arbitrary observable depending jointly on the coordinate and the momentum of the quantum system just the Wigner function provides an effective instrument for calculating the average value and the other statistical characteristics. In this paper, a probabilistic interpretation of the Wigner function based on coordinating a theoretical probabilistic definition of the probability density, with restrictions to a physically small domain of phase space due to the uncertainty principle, is proposed.

The Wigner function of a semiconfined harmonic oscillator model with a position-dependent effective mass

Sh. M. Nagiyev, A. M. Jafarova, E. I. Jafarov

We propose a phase-space representation concept in terms of the Wigner function for a quantum harmonic oscillator model that exhibits the semiconfinement effect through its mass varying with the position. The new method is used to compute the Wigner distribution function exactly for such a semiconfinement quantum system. This method suppresses the divergence of the integrand in the definition of the quantum distribution function and leads to the computation of its analytical expressions for the stationary states of the semiconfined oscillator model. For this quantum system, both the presence and absence of the applied external homogenous field are studied. Obtained exact expressions of the Wigner distribution function are expressed through the Bessel function of the first kind and Laguerre polynomials. Furthermore, some of the special cases and limits are discussed in detail.
