Wigner distributions for finite state systems without redundant phase point operators
S. Chaturvedi, N. Mukunda, R. Simon
We set up Wigner distributions for state quantum systems following a Dirac inspired approach. In contrast to much of the work on this case, requiring a phase spac…
The Hamilton--Jacobi Theory and the Analogy between Classical and Quantum Mechanics
G. Marmo, G. Morandi, N. Mukunda
We review here some conventional as well as less conventional aspects of the time-independent and time-dependent Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) theory and of its connections with Quantum Mec…
Non-quantum entanglement and a complete characterization of pre-Mueller and Mueller matrices in polarization optics
B. Neethi Simon, Sudhavathani Simon, N. Mukunda +4
The Mueller-Stokes formalism which governs conventional polarization optics is formulated for plane waves, and thus the only qualification one could demand of a real ma…
Non-quantum entanglement resolves a fundamental issue in Polarization optics
B. Neethi Simon, Sudhavathani Simon, F. Gori +4
The issue raised in this paper is classical in the sense of being ancient: which subset of 4X4 matrices should be accepted as physical Mueller matrices in polarization optics? Non-…
Hamilton's theory of turns revisited
N. Mukunda, S. Chaturvedi, R. Simon
We present a new approach to Hamilton's theory of turns for the groups SO(3) and SU(2) which renders their properties, in particular their composition law, nearly trivial and immed…
