• Title: Distinguishing quantum features in classical propagation
• Authors: Kelvin Titimbo, Gabriel M. Lando and Alfredo M. Ozorio de Almeida
• Abstract summary: We show that the truncated chord approximation coincides with the full semiclassical approximation to the evolved quantum characteristic function (or chord function) in a narrow neighbourhood of the origin of the dual chord phase space. Surprisingly, this small region accounts for purely quantum features, such as blind spots and local wave function correlations, as well as the expectation of observables with a close classical correspondence.

• Abstract: The strictly classical propagation of an initial Wigner function, referred to as TWA or LSC-IVR, is considered to provide approximate averages, despite not being a true Wigner function: it does not represent a positive operator. We here show that its symplectic Fourier transform, the truncated chord approximation (TCA), coincides with the full semiclassical approximation to the evolved quantum characteristic function (or chord function) in a narrow neighbourhood of the origin of the dual chord phase space. Surprisingly, this small region accounts for purely quantum features, such as blind spots and local wave function correlations, as well as the expectation of observables with a close classical correspondence. Direct numerical comparison of the TCA with exact quantum results verifies the semiclassical predictions for an initial coherent state evolving under the Kerr Hamiltonian. The resulting clear criterion for any further features, which may be estimated by classical propagation, is that, within the chord representation, they are concentrated near the origin.

• Semiclassical approximation of the Wigner function for the canonical ensemble [0.0]
  Weyl-Wigner representation of quantum mechanics allows one to map the density operator in a function in phase space. We approximate this quantum phase space representation of the canonical density operator for general temperatures. A numerical scheme which allows us to apply the approximation for a broad class of systems is also developed.

  In quadratic fermionic models we determine a quantum correction to the work statistics after a sudden and a time-dependent driving. Such a correction lies in the non-commutativity of the initial quantum state and the time-dependent Hamiltonian. Thanks to the latter, one can assess the onset of non-classical signatures in the KDQ distribution of work.

• Decoherence and classicalization of continuous-time quantum walks on graphs [0.0]
  We show that the dynamics arising from decoherence, i.e. dephasing in the energy basis, do not fully classicalize the walker. On the other hand, dephasing in the position basis, as described by the Haken-Strobl master equation or by the quantum walk (QSW) model, induceally destroys the quantumness of the walker. We also investigate the speed of the classicalization process, and observe a faster convergence of the QC-distance to its value for intrinsic decoherence and the QSW models.

• Emergence of classical behavior in the early universe [68.8204255655161]
  Three notions are often assumed to be essentially equivalent, representing different facets of the same phenomenon. We analyze them in general Friedmann-Lemaitre- Robertson-Walker space-times through the lens of geometric structures on the classical phase space. The analysis shows that: (i) inflation does not play an essential role; classical behavior can emerge much more generally; (ii) the three notions are conceptually distinct; classicality can emerge in one sense but not in another.
