Quantum Harmonic Analysis of the Density Matrix

We will study rigorously the notion of mixed states and their density matrices. We will also discuss the quantum-mechanical consequences of possible variations of Planck's constant h. This review has been written having in mind two readerships: mathematical physicists and quantum physicists. T...

Description
Summary:We will study rigorously the notion of mixed states and their density matrices. We will also discuss the quantum-mechanical consequences of possible variations of Planck's constant h. This review has been written having in mind two readerships: mathematical physicists and quantum physicists. The mathematical rigor is maximal, but the language and notation we use throughout should be familiar to physicists. Quanta 2018; 7: 74–110.
