Negativity of the Coarse Grained Wigner Function as a Measure of Quantal Behavior

Tyler Keating, Adam T. C. Steege, Arjendu K. Pattanayak

The negativity of a given state's Wigner function has been proposed as a measure of quantumness of that state in a unipartite system. This otherwise physically intuitive and useful phase-space measure however does not yield the right correspondence principle limit, and also turns out to yield infinite values for the infinite square well. We show that both these issues can be sensibly resolved using coarse-graining of the Wigner function.

Evolution law of Wigner function in laser process

Rui He, Junhua Chen, Hong-Yi Fan

Based on the density operator’s operator-sum representation recently obtained by Fan and Hu for a laser process (Opt. Commun., 2008, 281: 5571; Opt. Commun., 2009, 282: 932; Phys. Lett. B, 2008, 22: 2435), we derive the evolution law of Wigner operator, the law is concisely expressed in the normally ordered form $\Delta (\alpha ,\alpha ^* ,t) = \tfrac{T} {\pi }:\exp [ - 2T(a^\dag e^{ - (\kappa - g)t} - \alpha ^* )(ae^{ - (\kappa - g)t} - \alpha )] $ :, where g and κ are the cavity gain and the loss, respectively, and T ≡ (κ − g)(κ + g − 2ge−2(κ−g)t )−1:, When $t = 0,\Delta (\alpha ,\alpha ^* ,t) \to \tfrac{1} {\pi }:\exp [ - 2(a^\dag - \alpha ^* )(a - \alpha )] $ ;, which is the initial Wigner operator. Using this formalism the evolution law of Wigner functions in laser process can be directly obtained.
