Semiclassical limit of Husimi function

Abstract

We will show that Liouville and quantum Liouville operators $L$ and $L_\hbar$ generate two $C_0$-groups $e^{tL}$ and $e^{tL_h}$ of isometries in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^{2n})$ and $e^{tL_h}$ converges ultraweakly to $e^{tL}$. As a consequence we show that the Gaussian mollifier of the Wigner function, called Husimi function, converges in $L^1(\mathbb{R}^{2n})$ to the solution of the Liouville equation.

ON THE PROPAGATION OF SEMICLASSICAL WIGNER FUNCTIONS

P. P. De, Pedro de M. Rios, A. M. Ozorio +1 more

Abstract. We establish the difference between the propagation of semiclassical Wigner functions and classical Liouville propagation. First we re-discuss the semiclassical limit for the propagator of Wigner functions, which on its own leads to their classical propagation. Then, via stationary phase evaluation of the full integral evolution equation, using the semiclassical expressions of Wigner functions, we provide the correct geometrical prescription for their semiclassical propagation. This is determined by the classical trajectories of the tips of the chords defined by the initial semiclassical Wigner function and centered on their arguments, in contrast to the Liouville propagation which is determined by the classical trajectories of the arguments themselves. 1. introduction The Wigner [11] function W is a representation of the quantum density operator ˆρ as a real function on phase space, for a non-relativistic dynamical system with classical-quantum correspondence and n degrees of freedom. Here, all the underlying geometry is euclidean and we can include the Wigner function within the general framework of Weyl representation of operators: Â → A ∈ Ck IR (IR2n), so W(x) = (2π�) −n ρ(x) , where x ≡ (p1,...pn, q1,...qn) denotes a point in phase space. In this context, the quantum evolution of the density operator ˆρt effected by an autonomous external hamiltonian

On the propagation of semiclassical Wigner functions

P P de M Rios, A M Ozorio de Almeida

We establish the difference between the propagation of semiclassical Wigner functions and classical Liouville propagation. First we rediscuss the semiclassical limit for the propagator of Wigner functions, which on its own leads to their classical propagation. Then, via stationary phase evaluation of the full integral evolution equation, using the semiclassical expressions of Wigner functions, we provide the correct geometrical prescription for their semiclassical propagation. This is determined by the classical trajectories of the tips of the chords defined by the initial semiclassical Wigner function and centred on their arguments, in contrast to the Liouville propagation which is determined by the classical trajectories of the arguments themselves.

Sur les mesures de Wigner

Pierre‐Louis Lions, Thierry Paul

We study the properties of the Wigner transform for arbitrary functions in L^2 for hermitian kernels like the so-called density matrices. And we introduce some limits of these transforms for sequences of functions in L^2 , limits that correspond to the semi-classical limit in Quantum Mechanics. The measures we obtain in this way, that we call Wigner measures, have various mathematical properties that we establish. In particular, we prove they satisfy, in linear situations (Schrödinger equations) or nonlinear ones (time-dependent Hartree equations), transport equations of Liouville or Vlasov type.

Mapping Wigner distribution functions into semiclassical distribution functions

Gerhard Wilhelm Bund, M.C. Tijero

A mapping that relates the Wigner phase-space distribution function of a given stationary quantum mechanical wave function, a solution of the Schr\"odinger equation, to a specific solution of the Liouville equation, both subject to the same potential, is studied. By making this mapping, bound states are described by semiclassical distribution functions still depending on Planck's constant, whereas for elastic scattering of a particle by a potential they do not depend on it, the classical limit being reached in this case. Following this method, the mapped distributions of a particle bound in the P\"oschl-Teller potential and also in a modified oscillator potential are obtained.
