Orbital angular momentum in phase space
arXiv:1011.6184 · doi:10.1016/j.aop.2010.11.016
Abstract
A comprehensive theory of the Weyl-Wigner formalism for the canonical pair angle-angular momentum is presented. Special attention is paid to the problems linked to rotational periodicity and angular-momentum discreteness.
