Quantum distribution functions for radial observables

Abstract

For quantum systems with two dimensional configuration space we construct a physical radial momentum observable. Rescaling the radius we find the dilatonic degrees of freedom form a Weyl algebra. With this we construct the radial Wigner quasi-probability distribution function.
