Quantum Dynamics in Phase Space Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • After a brief summary of recently derived general results relating to the mapping of functions of noncommuting operators on functions of c numbers, equations are given which describe the time evolution of the c-number equivalents (phase-space representations) of the density operator and of a Heisenberg operator. The evaluation of time-ordered functions of operators by c-number techniques is also briefly discussed. 1968 The American Physical Society.
