Phase Space

The two key features of the phase space formulation are that the quantum state is described by a quasiprobability distribution instead of a wave function state vector or density matrix and operator multiplication is replaced by a star product.

Phase space. To envision the concept imagine a swarm of bees that are localized to the yard in which the bee hive is located. If the phase space is known as a phase plane. See phasespace in action. The term phase space refers to coordinates of a dynamic system in which the state of the system is recorded over time.

Fixed points are easily found to lie at y 0 and x kπ k integer. Dx dt y dy dt sin x. They say we need to forget about the home einstein invented for us. In dynamical system theory a phase space is a space in which all possible states of a system are represented with each possible state corresponding to one unique point in the phase space.

The phase space formulation of quantum mechanics places the position and momentum variables on equal footing in phase space. For a system of first order ordinary differential equations or more generally pfaffian forms the dimensional space consisting of the possible values of is known as its phase space. For mechanical systems the phase space usually consists of all possible values of position and momentum variables. In the theory of stochastic processes the phase space is the measurable space often with an additional topological differentiable or vector structure in which the process takes values.

The concept of phase space was developed in the late 19th century by ludwig boltzmann henri poincaré and josiah willard gibbs. If this radical claim is true it could solve a troubling paradox. In contrast the schrödinger picture uses the position or momentum representations see also position and momentum space. We live instead in a place called phase space.

They are alternatively centers k even especially the origin for k 0 and saddles k odd. In classical mechanics the phase space is the space of all possible states of a physical system. For virtual reality games previz robotics and more. By state we do not simply mean the positions qof all the objects in the system which would occupy physical space or configuration space but also their velocities or momenta p which would occupy momentum space.
