To conveniently calculate the Wigner function of the optical cumulant operator and its dissipation evolution in a thermal environment, in this paper, the thermo-entangled state representation is introduced to derive the general evolution formula of the Wigner function, and its relation to Weyl correspondence is also discussed. The method of integration within the ordered product of operators is essential to our discussion.

Wigner function of coherent state of N components

In this paper, we study the Wigner function of coherent state of N components, especially two components and three components. This function consists of two terms： the Gaussian term and the interference term with the negativity. The first term comprises N Gaussian surfaces evenly centred on a circle of radius ｜β｜ = ｜α｜ with a separate angle of 2π/N, and the second term is composed of 1/2N（N - 1） Gaussian-cosine surfaces evenly centred in a circular region of radius ｜β｜ 〈 ｜α｜. Here, a is the eigenvalue of the annihilation operator α, and β is a variable in some complex space in which the Wigner function is defined. We have proved that the essential condition to eliminate the negativity of the Wigner function is that the mean photon count of the coherent state is equal to that of the Glouber coherent state.

Wigner Function：from Ensemble Average of Density Operator to Its Matrix Element in Entangled Pure States

We show that the Wigner function (an ensemble average of the density operator ρ, Δ is the Wigner operator) can be expressed as a matrix element of ρ in the entangled pure states. In doing so, converting from quantum master equations to time-evolution equation of the Wigner functions seems direct and concise. The entangled states are defined in the enlarged Fock space with a fictitious freedom.

The nonclassical properties of the PSSTS are discussed based on the negativity of the Wigner function.

Wigner functions and tomograms of the photon-depleted even and odd coherent states

Using the coherent state representation of Wigner operator and the technique of integration within an ordered product （IWOP） of operators, this paper derives the Wigner functions for the photon-depleted even and odd coherent states （PDEOCSs）. Moreover, in terms of the Wigner functions with respect to the complex parameter a the nonclassical properties of the PDEOCSs are discussed. The results show that the nonclassicality for the state ｜β, m〉o （or ｜β,m〉e） is more pronounced when m is even （or odd）. According to the marginal distributions of the Wigner functions, the physical meaning of the Wigner functions is given. Further, the tomograms of the PDEOCSs are calculated with the aid of newly introduced intermediate coordinate-momentum representation in quantum optics.

Relation between Fresnel transform of input light field and the two-parameter Radon transform of Wigner function of the field

This paper proves a new theorem on the relationship between optical field Wigner function＇s two-parameter Radon transform and optical Fresnel transform of the field, i.e., when an input field ψ （x＇） propagates through an optical [D （-B） （-C） A] system, the energy density of the output field is equal to the Radon transform of the Wigner function of the input field, where the Radon transform parameters are D, B. It prove this theorem in both spatial-domain and frequency-domain, in the latter case the Radon transform parameters are A, C.

Ideal Spin Hydrodynamics from the Wigner Function Approach

Based on the Wigner function in local equilibrium, we derive hydrodynamical quantities for a system of polarized spin-1/2 particles: the particle number current density, the energy-momentum tensor, the spin tensor, and the dipole moment tensor. Compared with ideal hydrodynamics without spin, additional terms at the first and second orders in the Knudsen number Κ_(n) and the average spin polarization Χ_(s) have been derived. The Wigner function can be expressed in terms of matrix-valued distributions, whose equilibrium forms are characterized by thermodynamical parameters in quantum statistics. The equations of motion for these parameters are derived by conservation laws at the leading and next-to-leading order Κ_(n) and Χ_(s).

Wigner function for the generalized excited pair coherent state

This paper introduces the generalized excited pair coherent state （GEPCS）. Using the entangled state 〈η〉 representation of Wigner operator, it obtains the Wigner function for the GEPCS. In the ρ-γ phase space, the variations of the Wigner function distributions with the parameters q, α, k and l are discussed. The tomogram of the GEPCS is calculated with the help of the Radon transform between the Wigner operator and the projection operator of the entangled state ｜η1, η2, τ1, τ2｜. The entangled states ｜η〉 and ｜η1, η2, τ1, τ2〉 provide two good representative space for studying the Wigner functions and tomograms of various two-mode correlated quantum states.

Moreover, the tomograms of the EOBSs are calculated by virtue of intermediate coordinate-momentum representation in quantum optics.

Scheme for direct measurement of Wigner function in two-mode cavity QED driven by classical fields

We propose a scheme for the direct measurement of Wigner function in two-mode cavity QED. The atoms are sent to resonantly interact with two orthogonally polarized cavity modes in the presence of strong classical field. The probability of measuring the atom in the ground state directly gives the useful information of the cavity field. This method can be used for quantum non-demolition measurement of the photon number.

We calculate Wigner function, tomogram of the pair coherent state by using its Sehmidt decomposition in the coherent state representation. It turns out that the Wigner function can be seen as the quantum entanglement （QE） between two two-variable Hermite polynomials （TVHP） and the tomogram is further simplified as QE of two single-variable Hermite polynomials. The Husimi function of pair coherent state is also calculated.

Theor. Phys. 41 （2002） 695], is constructed. Moreover, the Wigner function and phase probability distribution of q-analogue of the squeezed one-photon state are examined.

Atomic Interference Method for Direct Measurement of the Wigner Function of a Cavity Field

We propose a scheme for the reconstruction of a cavity field state. In the scheme the cavity field is first displaced by a microwave source, and then is placed in front of one slit of the two-slit apparatus. Ground state atoms pass through the apparatus, hitting upon the screen far away from the two-slit apparatus. The atom-field interaction is dispersive. The contrast of interference fringes is directly related to the Wigner function for the field state. The scheme can be easily generalized to measure the Wigner function of an entangled state of two spatially separated single-mode cavities.

A Note on Wigner Functions and *-Genvalue Equation

In deformation quantization, static Wigner functions obey functional ,-genvalue equation, which is equivalent to time-independent Schrodinger equation in Hilbert space operator formalism of quantum mechanics. This equivalence is proved mostly for Hamiltonian with form H^ = （1/2）p^2 ＋ V（x^） [D. Fairlie, Proc. Camb. Phil. Soc. 60 （1964） 581]. In this note we generalize this proof to a very general Hamiltonian H^（x^,p^） and give examples to support it.
