Quasi-Hermitian quantum mechanics in phase space

  • 1. Department of Physics, University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida 33124 (United States)

Description

We investigate quasi-Hermitian quantum mechanics in phase space using standard deformation quantization methods: Groenewold star products and Wigner transforms. We focus on imaginary Liouville theory as a representative example where exact results are easily obtained. We emphasize spatially periodic solutions, compute various distribution functions and phase-space metrics, and explore the relationships between them
