Description

In this paper, the matrix elements explicit expressions for the kernel operator in the harmonic oscillator eigenfunctions basis are obtained. The matrix elements are expressed in terms of the two complex variables new polynomials that were constructed in this paper. In the particular case, new polynomials degenerate into Laguerre polynomials. The diagonal elements of the kernel operator matrix are the Wigner functions of the harmonic oscillator, which do not introduce dissipation into the quantum system. The off-diagonal elements contain frequency oscillations responsible for dissipations in the quantum systems.

Using the explicit representation of the kernel operator matrix elements, we construct the distributions of the Wigner function in the phase space for quantum systems. (paper: quantum statistical physics, condensed matter, integrable systems)
