Area of overlap and interference in phase space versus Wigner pseudoprobabilities

Wolfgang P. Schleich, Daniel F. Walls, JOHN ARCHIBALD WHEELER

In the semiclassical approximation, the quantum-mechanical scalar product between two quantum states is governed by (1) the areas of overlap in phase space of these states and (2) interference between the probability amplitudes contributed by these areas. We compare and contrast this principle with Wigner's concept of pseudoprobabilities in phase space and illustrate the essential points of both treatments by the oscillations in the photon distribution of a highly squeezed state.

Bifurcation in the phase probability distribution of a highly squeezed state

Wolfgang P. Schleich, R. J. Horowicz, Sándor Varró

We calculate the phase distribution of a highly squeezed state using both a definition of a phase eigenstate and the area-of-overlap principle. This probability curve undergoes a transition from a single- to a double-peaked distribution when we decrease the product of squeeze and displacement parameters.

Partial revivals of wave packets: An action-angle phase-space description

Quanlin Jie, Shun-Jin Wang, Lian-Fu Wei

Partial revivals of wave packets are investigated by means of the action-angle Wigner function, which is formulated in terms of action quantum numbers and angle variables. In the eigenbasis of the Hamiltonian, the phase shifts of the expansion coefficients of the wave packet are approximated by a quadratic function of action quantum numbers. Under this approximation, the evolution of the action-angle Wigner function of the wave packet, similarly to the classical Liouville density, can be viewed as a result of each phase-space point moving along a classical orbit. The partial and full revivals of wave packets are direct consequences of two facts: (i) The action-angle Wigner function is distributed only on discrete tori of the phase space and (ii) phase-space points of nearby tori move against each other with a constant speed.
