Wigner current in multidimensional quantum billiards

Abstract

In the present paper we derive the Wigner current of the particle in a multidimensional billiard -- the compact region of space in which the particle moves freely. The calculation is based on proposed by us previously method of imposing boundary conditions by convolution of the free particle Wigner function with some time independent function, defined by the shape of the billiard. This method allowed to greatly simplify the general expression for the Wigner current, representing its $\mathbf{p}$-component as a surface integral of the product of the shifted particles wave functions. The results are also connected to an alternative approach, which takes into account the boundary conditions by adding the $\propto {\delta }^{\prime }(x)$ term to the Hamiltonian. The latter is also generalized to the multidimensional case.
