We derive simple formulas connecting the generalized Wigner functions for s-ordering with the density matrix, and vice versa. These formulas proved very useful for quantum-mechanical applications, as, for example, for connecting master equations with Fokker-Planck equations, or for evaluating the quantum state from Monte Carlo simulations of Fokker-Planck equations, and finally for studying positivity of the generalized Wigner functions in the complex plane.

Abstract
We derive simple formulas connecting the generalized Wigner functions for s-ordering with the density matrix, and vice versa. These formulas proved very useful for quantum-mechanical applications, as, for example, for connecting master equations with Fokker-Planck equations, or for evaluating the quantum state from Monte Carlo simulations of Fokker-Planck equations, and finally for studying positivity of the generalized Wigner functions in the complex plane.File in questo prodotto:
