A '''quasiprobability distribution''' is a mathematical object similar to a [[probability distribution]] but which relaxes some of [[probability axioms|Kolmogorov's axioms of probability theory]]. Although quasiprobabilities share many of the same general features of ordinary probabilities such as the ability to take [[expectation value]]s with respect to the weights of the distribution, they all violate the [[probability axioms#Third axiom|third probability axiom]] because regions integrated under them do not represent probabilities of mutually exclusive states. To compensate, some quasiprobability distributions also counterintuitively have regions of [[negative probability]] density, contradicting the [[probability axioms#First axiom|first axiom]]. Quasiprobability distributions arise naturally in the study of [[quantum mechanics]] when treated in the [[phase space formulation]], commonly used in [[quantum optics]], [[time-frequency analysis]],<ref>L.

In the most general form, the dynamics of a [[quantum mechanics|quantum-mechanical]] system are determined by a [[master equation]] in [[Hilbert space]]: an equation of motion for the [[density operator]] (usually written <math>\hat{\rho}</math>) of the system. The density operator is defined with respect to a ''complete'' [[orthonormal basis]]. Although it is possible to directly integrate this equation for very small systems (i.e., systems with few particles or degrees of freedom), this quickly becomes intractable for larger systems. However, it is possible to prove<ref name="Sudarshan">E. C. G. Sudarshan "Equivalence of Semiclassical and Quantum Mechanical Descriptions of Statistical Light Beams", ''Phys. Rev. Lett.'','''10''' (1963) pp. 277–279. {{doi|10.1103/PhysRevLett.10.277}}</ref> that the density can always be written in a ''[[diagonal matrix|diagonal]]'' form, provided that it is with respect to an ''[[overcompleteness|overcomplete]]'' basis. When the density operator is represented in such an overcomplete basis, then it can be written in a way more like an ordinary function, at the expense that the function has the features of a quasiprobability distribution. The evolution of the system is then completely determined by the evolution of the quasiprobability distribution function. | |||
The [[coherent states]], i.e. right [[eigenstate]]s of the [[annihilation operator]] <math>\hat{a}</math> serve as the overcomplete basis in the construction described above. By definition, the coherent states have the following property: | |||
:<math>\begin{align}\hat{a}|\alpha\rangle&=\alpha|\alpha\rangle \\ | |||
\langle\alpha|\hat{a}^{\dagger}&=\langle\alpha|\alpha^*. \end{align}</math> | |||
They also have some additional interesting properties. For example, no two coherent states are orthogonal. In fact, if |''α'' 〉 and |''β'' 〉 are a pair of coherent states, then | |||
:<math>\langle\beta|\alpha\rangle=e^{-{1\over2}(|\beta|^2+|\alpha|^2-2\beta^*\alpha)}\neq\delta(\alpha-\beta).</math> | |||
Note that these states are, however, correctly [[unit vector|normalized]] with 〈''α''|''α''〉 = 1. Owing to the completeness of the basis of [[Fock state]]s, the choice of the basis of coherent states must be overcomplete.<ref>J. R.

Integration over the complex plane can be written in terms of polar coordinates with <math>d^2\alpha=r \, dr d\theta</math>. Where [[order of integration (calculus)|exchanging sum and integral]] is allowed, we arrive at a simple integral expression of the [[gamma function]]: | |||
:<math>\begin{align}\int |\alpha\rangle\langle\alpha| \, d^2\alpha | |||
&= \int \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} e^{-{|\alpha|^2}} \cdot \frac{\alpha^n (\alpha^*)^k}{\sqrt{n!k!}} |n\rangle \langle k| \, d^2\alpha \\ | |||

Clearly we can span the Hilbert space by writing a state as | |||
:<math>|\psi\rangle = \frac{1}{\pi} \int |\alpha\rangle\langle\alpha|\psi\rangle \, d^2\alpha.</math> | |||
On the other hand, despite correct normalization of the states, the factor of π>1 proves that this basis is overcomplete. | |||

In the coherent states basis, however, it is always possible<ref name="Sudarshan" /> to express the density operator in the diagonal form | |||
:<math>\hat{\rho} = \int f(\alpha,\alpha^*) |{\alpha}\rangle \langle {\alpha}| \, d^2\alpha</math> | |||
where ''f'' is a representation of the phase space distribution. This function ''f'' is considered a quasiprobability density because it has the following properties: | |||
:*<math>\int f(\alpha,\alpha^*) \, d^2\alpha = \mathrm{tr}(\hat{\rho}) = 1 </math> (normalization) | |||
:*If <math>g_{\Omega} (\hat{a},\hat{a}^{\dagger})</math> is an operator that can be expressed as a power series of the creation and annihilation operators in an ordering Ω, then its expectation value is | |||

The function ''f'' is not unique. There exists a family of different representations, each connected to a different ordering {{mvar|Ω}}. The most popular in the general physics literature and historically first of these is the [[Wigner quasiprobability distribution]],<ref>E.P. Wigner, "On the quantum correction for thermodynamic equilibrium", ''Phys. Rev.'' '''40''' (June 1932) 749–759. {{doi|10.1103/PhysRev.40.749}}</ref> which is related to symmetric operator ordering.

In addition to the representations defined above, there are many other quasiprobability distributions that arise in alternative representations of the phase space distribution. Another popular representation is the [[Husimi Q representation]],<ref>Kôdi Husimi (1940). "Some Formal Properties of the Density Matrix", ''Proc. Phys. Math. Soc. Jpn.''

More recently, the positive {{mvar|P}} representation and a wider class of generalized {{mvar|P}} representations have been used to solve complex problems in quantum optics. These are all equivalent and interconvertible to each other, viz. [[Cohen's class distribution function]]. | |||
==Characteristic functions== | |||
Analogous to probability theory, quantum quasiprobability distributions | |||
can be written in terms of [[Characteristic function (probability theory)|characteristic function]]s, | |||
from which all operator expectation values can be derived. The characteristic | |||
functions for the Wigner, [[Glauber-Sudarshan P-representation|Glauber P]] and Q distributions of an ''N'' mode system | |||
are as follows: | |||
* <math>\chi_W(\mathbf{z},\mathbf{z}^*)= \operatorname{tr}(\rho e^{i\mathbf{z}\cdot\widehat{\mathbf{a}}+i\mathbf{z}^*\cdot\widehat{\mathbf{a}}^{\dagger}})</math> | |||
* <math>\chi_P(\mathbf{z},\mathbf{z}^*)=\operatorname{tr}(\rho e^{i\mathbf{z}\cdot\widehat{\mathbf{a}}}e^{i\mathbf{z}^*\cdot\widehat{\mathbf{a}}^{\dagger}})</math> | |||
* <math>\chi_Q(\mathbf{z},\mathbf{z}^*)= \operatorname{tr}(\rho e^{i\mathbf{z}^*\cdot\widehat{\mathbf{a}}^{\dagger}}e^{i\mathbf{z}\cdot\widehat{\mathbf{a}}})</math> | |||
Here <math>\widehat{\mathbf{a}}</math> and <math>\widehat{\mathbf{a}}^{\dagger}</math> are vectors containing the [[annihilation and creation operators]] for each mode | |||
of the system. These characteristic functions can be used to directly evaluate expectation values of operator moments. The ordering of the annihilation and creation operators in these moments is specific to the particular characteristic function. For instance, [[normal order|normally ordered]] (annihilation operators preceding creation operators) moments can be evaluated in the following way from <math>\chi_P\,</math>: | |||
: <math>\langle\widehat{a}_j^{\dagger m}\widehat{a}_k^n\rangle = \frac{\partial^{m+n}}{\partial(iz_j^*)^m\partial(iz_k^*)^n}\chi_P(\mathbf{z},\mathbf{z}^*)\Big|_{\mathbf{z}=\mathbf{z}^*=0}</math> | |||
In the same way, expectation values of anti-normally ordered and symmetrically ordered combinations of annihilation and creation operators can be evaluated from the characteristic functions for the Q and Wigner distributions, respectively. The quasiprobability functions themselves are defined as [[Fourier transform]]s of the above characteristic functions. That is, | |||
: <math>\{W|P|Q\}(\mathbf{\alpha},\mathbf{\alpha}^*)=\frac{1}{\pi^{2N}}\int \chi_{\{W|P|Q\}}(\mathbf{z},\mathbf{z}^*)e^{-i\mathbf{z}^*\cdot\mathbf{\alpha}^*}e^{-i\mathbf{z}\cdot\mathbf{\alpha}} \, d^{2N}\mathbf{z}.</math> | |||
Here <math>\alpha_j\,</math> and <math>\alpha^*_k</math> may be identified as [[coherent state]] amplitudes in the case of the Glauber P and Q distributions, but simply [[c-number]]s for the Wigner function. Since differentiation in normal space becomes multiplication in fourier space, moments can be calculated from these functions in the following way: | |||
* <math>\langle\widehat{\mathbf{a}}_j^{\dagger m}\widehat{\mathbf{a}}_k^n\rangle=\int P(\mathbf{\alpha},\mathbf{\alpha}^*)\alpha_j^n\alpha_k^{*m} \, d^{2N}\mathbf{\alpha}</math> | |||
* <math>\langle\widehat{\mathbf{a}}_j^m\widehat{\mathbf{a}}_k^{\dagger n}\rangle=\int Q(\mathbf{\alpha},\mathbf{\alpha}^*)\alpha_j^m\alpha_k^{*n} \, d^{2N}\mathbf{\alpha}</math> | |||
* <math>\langle(\widehat{\mathbf{a}}_j^{\dagger m}\widehat{\mathbf{a}}_k^n)_S\rangle=\int W(\mathbf{\alpha},\mathbf{\alpha}^*)\alpha_j^m\alpha_k^{*n} \, d^{2N}\mathbf{\alpha}</math> | |||
Here <math>(\ldots)_S</math> denotes symmetric ordering. | |||
These representations are all interrelated through [[convolution]] by [[Gaussian function]]s: | |||
*<math>W(\alpha,\alpha^*)= \frac{2}{\pi} \int P(\beta,\beta^*) e^{-2|\alpha-\beta|^2} \, d^2\beta</math> | |||
*<math>Q(\alpha,\alpha^*)= \frac{2}{\pi} \int W(\beta,\beta^*) e^{-2|\alpha-\beta|^2} \, d^2\beta</math> | |||
or using the property that convolution is [[associative]] | |||
*<math>Q(\alpha,\alpha^*)= \frac{1}{\pi} \int P(\beta,\beta^*) e^{-|\alpha-\beta|^2} \, d^2\beta.</math> | |||
==Time evolution and operator correspondences== | |||
Since each of the above transformations from {{mvar|ρ}} to the distribution functions is [[linear]], the equation of motion for each distribution can be obtained by performing the same transformations to <math>\dot{\rho}</math>. Furthermore, as any [[master equation]] which can be expressed in [[lindblad equation|Lindblad form]] is completely described by the action of combinations of [[creation and annihilation operators|annihilation and creation operators]] on the density operator, it is useful to consider the effect such operations have on each of the quasiprobability functions.<ref>H. J. Carmichael, ''Statistical Methods in Quantum Optics I: Master Equations and Fokker-Planck Equations'', Springer-Verlag (2002).</ref> | |||
<ref>C. W. Gardiner, ''Quantum Noise'', Springer-Verlag (1991).</ref> | |||
For instance, consider the annihilation operator <math>\widehat{a}_j\,</math> acting on {{mvar|ρ}}. For the characteristic function of the P distribution we have | |||
: <math>\operatorname{tr}(\widehat{a}_j\rho e^{i\mathbf{z}\cdot\widehat{\mathbf{a}}}e^{i\mathbf{z}^*\cdot\widehat{\mathbf{a}}^{\dagger}}) = \frac{\partial}{\partial(iz_j)}\chi_P(\mathbf{z},\mathbf{z}^*).</math> | |||
Taking the [[Fourier transform]] with respect to <math>\mathbf{z}\,</math> to find the | |||
action corresponding action on the Glauber P function, we find | |||
<math>\widehat{a}_j\rho \rightarrow \alpha_j P(\mathbf{\alpha},\mathbf{\alpha}^*).</math> | |||
By following this procedure for each of the above distributions, the following | |||
''operator correspondences'' can be identified: | |||
* <math>\widehat{a}_j\rho \rightarrow \left(\alpha_j + \kappa\frac{\partial}{\partial\alpha_j^*}\right)\{W|P|Q\}(\mathbf{\alpha},\mathbf{\alpha}^*)</math> | |||
* <math>\rho\widehat{a}^{\dagger}_j \rightarrow \left(\alpha_j^* + \kappa\frac{\partial}{\partial\alpha_j}\right)\{W|P|Q\}(\mathbf{\alpha},\mathbf{\alpha}^*)</math> | |||
* <math>\widehat{a}^{\dagger}_j\rho \rightarrow \left(\alpha_j^* - (1-\kappa)\frac{\partial}{\partial\alpha_j}\right)\{W|P|Q\}(\mathbf{\alpha},\mathbf{\alpha}^*)</math> | |||
* <math>\rho\widehat{a}_j \rightarrow \left(\alpha_j - (1-\kappa)\frac{\partial}{\partial\alpha_j^*}\right)\{W|P|Q\}(\mathbf{\alpha},\mathbf{\alpha}^*)</math> | |||
Here {{math|κ {{=}} 0, 1/2}} or 1 for P, Wigner, and Q distributions, respectively. In this way, [[master equation]]s can be expressed as an equations of | |||
motion of quasiprobability functions. | |||
==Examples== | |||
===Coherent state=== | |||
By construction, ''P'' for a coherent state <math>|\alpha_0\rangle</math> is simply a delta function: | |||
:<math>P(\alpha,\alpha^*)=\delta^2(\alpha-\alpha_0).</math> | |||
The Wigner and ''Q'' representations follows immediately from the Gaussian convolution formulas above: | |||
:<math>W(\alpha,\alpha^*)=\frac{2}{\pi} \int \delta^2(\beta-\alpha_0) e^{-2|\alpha-\beta|^2} \, d^2\beta=\frac{2}{\pi}e^{-2|\alpha-\alpha_0|^2}</math> | |||
:<math>Q(\alpha,\alpha^*)=\frac{1}{\pi} \int \delta^2(\beta-\alpha_0) e^{-|\alpha-\beta|^2} \, d^2\beta=\frac{1}{\pi}e^{-|\alpha-\alpha_0|^2}.</math> | |||
The Husimi representation can also be found using the formula above for the inner product of two coherent states: | |||
:<math>Q(\alpha,\alpha^*)=\frac{1}{\pi}\langle \alpha|\hat{\rho}|\alpha\rangle =\frac{1}{\pi}|\langle \alpha_0|\alpha\rangle|^2 = \frac{1}{\pi}e^{-|\alpha-\alpha_0|^2}</math> | |||
===Fock state=== | |||
The ''P'' representation of a Fock state <math>|n\rangle</math> is | |||
:<math>P(\alpha,\alpha^*)=\frac{e^{|\alpha|^2}}{n!} \frac{\partial^{2n}}{\partial\alpha^{*n}\partial\alpha^n} \delta^2(\alpha).</math> | |||
Since for n>0 this is more singular than a delta function, a Fock state has no classical analog. The non-classicality is less transparent as one proceeds with the Gaussian convolutions. If ''L<sub>n</sub>'' is the nth [[Laguerre polynomial]], ''W'' is | |||
:<math>W(\alpha,\alpha^*) = (-1)^n\frac{2}{\pi} e^{-2|\alpha|^2} L_n\left(4|\alpha|^2\right) ~,</math> | |||
which can go negative but is bounded. ''Q'' always remains positive and bounded: | |||
:<math>Q(\alpha,\alpha^*)=\frac{1}{\pi}\langle \alpha|\hat{\rho}|\alpha\rangle =\frac{1}{\pi}|\langle n|\alpha\rangle|^2 =\frac{1}{\pi n!}|\langle 0|\hat{a}^n|\alpha\rangle|^2 = \frac{|\alpha|^{2n}}{\pi n!}e^{-|\alpha|^2}</math> | |||
===Damped quantum harmonic oscillator=== | |||
Consider the damped quantum harmonic oscillator with the following master equation: | |||
: <math>\frac{d\hat{\rho}}{dt} = i\omega_0 [\hat{\rho},\hat{a}^{\dagger}\hat{a}] + \frac{\gamma}{2} (2\hat{a}\hat{\rho}\hat{a}^{\dagger} - \hat{a}^{\dagger}\hat{a}\hat{\rho} - \rho\hat{a}^{\dagger}\hat{a}) + \gamma \langle n \rangle (\hat{a}\hat{\rho}\hat{a}^{\dagger} + \hat{a}^{\dagger}\hat{\rho}\hat{a} - \hat{a}^{\dagger}\hat{a}\hat{\rho}-\hat{\rho}\hat{a}\hat{a}^{\dagger}).</math> | |||
This results in the [[Fokker–Planck equation]] | |||
:<math>\frac{\partial}{\partial t} \{W|P|Q\}(\alpha,\alpha^*,t) = \left[(\gamma+i\omega_0)\frac{\partial}{\partial \alpha}\alpha + (\gamma-i\omega_0)\frac{\partial}{\partial \alpha^*}\alpha^* + \frac{\gamma}{2}(\langle n \rangle + \kappa)\frac{\partial^2}{\partial\alpha\partial\alpha^*}\right]\{W|P|Q\}(\alpha,\alpha^*,t)</math> | |||
where κ=0, 1/2, 1 for the ''P'', ''W'', and ''Q'' representations, respectively. If the system is initially in the coherent state <math>|\alpha_0\rangle</math>, then this has the solution | |||
:<math>\{W|P|Q\}(\alpha,\alpha^*,t) = \frac{1}{\pi \left[\kappa + \langle n \rangle\left(1-e^{-2\gamma t}\right)\right]} \exp{\left(-\frac{\left|\alpha-\alpha_0 e^{-(\gamma +i\omega_0) t}\right|^2}{\kappa + \langle n \rangle\left(1-e^{-2\gamma t}\right)}\right)}</math> | |||

A quasiprobability distribution is a mathematical object similar to a probability distribution but which relaxes some of Kolmogorov's axioms of probability theory. Although quasiprobabilities share many of the same general features of ordinary probabilities such as the ability to take expectation values with respect to the weights of the distribution, they all violate the third probability axiom because regions integrated under them do not represent probabilities of mutually exclusive states. To compensate, some quasiprobability distributions also counterintuitively have regions of negative probability density, contradicting the first axiom. Quasiprobability distributions arise naturally in the study of quantum mechanics when treated in the phase space formulation, commonly used in quantum optics, time-frequency analysis,[1] and elsewhere.

Recently had a family visit to Urnes Stave Church. In the most general form, the dynamics of a quantum-mechanical system are determined by a master equation in Hilbert space: an equation of motion for the density operator (usually written ) of the system. The density operator is defined with respect to a complete orthonormal basis. Although it is possible to directly integrate this equation for very small systems (i.e., systems with few particles or degrees of freedom), this quickly becomes intractable for larger systems. However, it is possible to prove[2] that the density can always be written in a diagonal form, provided that it is with respect to an overcomplete basis. When the density operator is represented in such an overcomplete basis, then it can be written in a way more like an ordinary function, at the expense that the function has the features of a quasiprobability distribution. The evolution of the system is then completely determined by the evolution of the quasiprobability distribution function.
The coherent states, i.e. right eigenstates of the annihilation operator serve as the overcomplete basis in the construction described above. By definition, the coherent states have the following property:
They also have some additional interesting properties. For example, no two coherent states are orthogonal. In fact, if |α 〉 and |β 〉 are a pair of coherent states, then
Note that these states are, however, correctly normalized with 〈α|α〉 = 1. Owing to the completeness of the basis of Fock states, the choice of the basis of coherent states must be overcomplete.[3] Click to show an informal proof.

In the coherent states basis, however, it is always possible[2] to express the density operator in the diagonal form
where f is a representation of the phase space distribution. This function f is considered a quasiprobability density because it has the following properties:
The function f is not unique. There exists a family of different representations, each connected to a different ordering Template:Mvar. The most popular in the general physics literature and historically first of these is the Wigner quasiprobability distribution,[4] which is related to symmetric operator ordering. In quantum optics specifically, often the operators of interest, especially the particle number operator, is naturally expressed in normal order. In that case, the corresponding representation of the phase space distribution is the Glauber–Sudarshan P representation.[5] The quasiprobabilistic nature of these phase space distributions is best understood in the Template:Mvar representation because of the following key statement:[6]
36 year-old Diving Instructor (Open water ) Vancamp from Kuujjuaq, spends time with pursuits for instance gardening, public listed property developers in singapore developers in singapore and cigar smoking. Of late took some time to go China Danxia.
This sweeping statement is unavailable in other representations. For example, the Wigner function of the EPR state is positive definite but has no classical analog.[7][8]
In addition to the representations defined above, there are many other quasiprobability distributions that arise in alternative representations of the phase space distribution. Another popular representation is the Husimi Q representation,[9] which is useful when operators are in anti-normal order. More recently, the positive Template:Mvar representation and a wider class of generalized Template:Mvar representations have been used to solve complex problems in quantum optics. These are all equivalent and interconvertible to each other, viz. Cohen's class distribution function.
Characteristic functions
Analogous to probability theory, quantum quasiprobability distributions can be written in terms of characteristic functions, from which all operator expectation values can be derived. The characteristic functions for the Wigner, Glauber P and Q distributions of an N mode system are as follows:
Here and are vectors containing the annihilation and creation operators for each mode of the system. These characteristic functions can be used to directly evaluate expectation values of operator moments. The ordering of the annihilation and creation operators in these moments is specific to the particular characteristic function. For instance, normally ordered (annihilation operators preceding creation operators) moments can be evaluated in the following way from :
In the same way, expectation values of anti-normally ordered and symmetrically ordered combinations of annihilation and creation operators can be evaluated from the characteristic functions for the Q and Wigner distributions, respectively. The quasiprobability functions themselves are defined as Fourier transforms of the above characteristic functions. That is,
Here and may be identified as coherent state amplitudes in the case of the Glauber P and Q distributions, but simply c-numbers for the Wigner function. Since differentiation in normal space becomes multiplication in fourier space, moments can be calculated from these functions in the following way:
Here denotes symmetric ordering.
These representations are all interrelated through convolution by Gaussian functions:
or using the property that convolution is associative
Time evolution and operator correspondences
Since each of the above transformations from Template:Mvar to the distribution functions is linear, the equation of motion for each distribution can be obtained by performing the same transformations to . Furthermore, as any master equation which can be expressed in Lindblad form is completely described by the action of combinations of annihilation and creation operators on the density operator, it is useful to consider the effect such operations have on each of the quasiprobability functions.[10] [11]
For instance, consider the annihilation operator acting on Template:Mvar. For the characteristic function of the P distribution we have
Taking the Fourier transform with respect to to find the action corresponding action on the Glauber P function, we find
By following this procedure for each of the above distributions, the following operator correspondences can be identified:

Although you are not required to engage a real property salesperson (generally often known as a "public listed property developers In singapore agent") to complete these property transactions, chances are you'll think about partaking one if you are not accustomed to the processes concerned.
Professional agents are readily available once you need to discover an condominium for hire in singapore In some cases, landlords will take into account you more favourably in case your agent comes to them than for those who tried to method them by yourself. You need to be careful, nevertheless, as you resolve in your agent. Ensure that the agent you are contemplating working with is registered with the IEA – Institute of Estate Brokers. Whereas it might sound a hassle to you, will probably be worth it in the end. The IEA works by an ordinary algorithm and regulations, so you'll protect yourself in opposition to probably going with a rogue agent who prices you more than they should for his or her service in finding you an residence for lease in singapore.
There isn't any deal too small. Property agents who are keen to find time for any deal even if the commission is small are the ones you want on your aspect. Additionally they present humbleness and might relate with the typical Singaporean higher. Relentlessly pursuing any deal, calling prospects even without being prompted.

In this way, master equations can be expressed as an equations of
motion of quasiprobability functions.
Examples
Coherent state
By construction, P for a coherent state is simply a delta function:
The Wigner and Q representations follows immediately from the Gaussian convolution formulas above:
The Husimi representation can also be found using the formula above for the inner product of two coherent states:
Fock state
The P representation of a Fock state is
Since for n>0 this is more singular than a delta function, a Fock state has no classical analog. The non-classicality is less transparent as one proceeds with the Gaussian convolutions. If Ln is the nth Laguerre polynomial, W is
which can go negative but is bounded. Q always remains positive and bounded:
Damped quantum harmonic oscillator
Consider the damped quantum harmonic oscillator with the following master equation:
This results in the Fokker–Planck equation
where κ=0, 1/2, 1 for the P, W, and Q representations, respectively. If the system is initially in the coherent state , then this has the solution
