Synopsis

This book covers the theory and applications of the Wigner phase space distribution function and its symmetry properties. The book explains why the phase space picture of quantum mechanics is needed, in addition to the conventional Schrödinger or Heisenberg picture. It is shown that the uncertainty relation can be represented more accurately in this picture. In addition, the phase space picture is shown to be the natural representation of quantum mechanics for modern optics and relativistic quantum mechanics of extended objects.

Review

"... if Casimir invariants and Lorentz groups excite you, you'll be at home in Kim and Noz's lecture notes..." P L Knight Contemporary Physics, 1992

Synopsis

Discusses the physical consequences of the symmetries of the Wigner function in phase space, for scientists and students who wish to study the basic principles of the phase-space picture of quantum mechanics and physical applications of the Wigner distribution functions, and for those who simply wish to study the physical applications of the Lorent
