On constructing the wave function of a quantum particle from its Wigner phase-space distribution function

摘要

For a Schrodinger wave function, the part of the phase that depends only on time disappears in the construction of the corresponding Wigner phase-space (quasi)distribution function. Despite this, it can be recovered from the Wigner function using the quantum Hamilton-Jacobi equation. This is demonstrated for three simple cases. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
