Features of Time-independent Wigner Functions

arXiv:hep-th/9711183 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.58.025002

Abstract

The Wigner phase-space distribution function provides the basis for Moyal's deformation quantization alternative to the more conventional Hilbert space and path integral quantizations. General features of time-independent Wigner functions are explored here, including the functional ("star") eigenvalue equations they satisfy; their projective orthogonality spectral properties; their Darboux ("supersymmetric") isospectral potential recursions; and their canonical transformations. These features are illustrated explicitly through simple solvable potentials: the harmonic oscillator, the linear potential, the Poeschl-Teller potential, and the Liouville potential.
