Description
Summary:In connection with the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, a review of joint works of the Lebedev Institute and the Mexican research group at UNAM is presented, especially related to solving the old problem of the state description, not only by wave functions but also by conventional probability distributions analogous to quasiprobability distributions, like the Wigner function. Also, explicit expressions of tomographic representations describing the quantum states of particles moving in known potential wells are obtained and briefly discussed. In particular, we present the examples of the tomographic distributions for the free evolution, finite and infinite potential wells, and the Morse potential. Additional to this, an extension of the Peres–Horodecki separability criteria for momentum probability distributions is presented in the case of bipartite, asymmetrical, real states.
