Wigner function and the probability representation of quantum states

Margarita A. Man’ko, Vladimir I. Man’ko

The relation of theWigner function with the fair probability distribution called tomographic distribution or quantum tomogram associated with the quantum state is reviewed. The connection of the tomographic picture of quantum mechanics with the integral Radon transform of the Wigner quasidistribution is discussed. The Wigner–Moyal equation for the Wigner function is presented in the form of kinetic equation for the tomographic probability distribution both in quantum mechanics and in the classical limit of the Liouville equation. The calculation of moments of physical observables in terms of integrals with the state tomographic probability distributions is constructed having a standard form of averaging in the probability theory. New uncertainty relations for the position and momentum are written in terms of optical tomograms suitable for directexperimental check. Some recent experiments on checking the uncertainty relations including the entropic uncertainty relations are discussed.

A Comparison between Approaches for Deriving Kinetic Equations for a Dilute Inhomogeneous Quantum Gas

Michel De Haan

The kinetic equation proposed by Nacher, Tastevin and Laloë is placed in the general framework for deriving kinetic equations by a systematic analysis of the hierarchy of equations for the time evolution of the Wigner distribution functions (Wdf). We prove that the stationary solution of their equation can be identified with the equilibrium one-particle distribution function in the grand canonical ensemble.

Inversion method approach to the quantum kinetic equation: inhomogeneous case

Jun Koide

The inversion method to derive the quantum kinetic equation is extended to the case of an inhomogeneous system. Within the closed-time-path formalism, the source is introduced to probe the (Fourier transform of the) Wigner distribution function and the equation of motion for the Wigner function is derived perturbatively by the inversion formulae. The equation of motion has the form of the generalized Boltzmann equation, which is non-local in space and time. For the obtained kinetic equation, the local conservation laws of number, energy and momentum are confirmed.
