Semiclassical Analysis of Wave Dynamics via Wigner Transforms: Applications to the Quantum Harmonic, Anharmonic, and Dirac Oscillator
In this Master's thesis, we give a pedagogical introduction to the semiclassical analysis of wave dynamics in single-band and multi-band systems. We show how the semiclassical evolutions of Wigner functions can approximate the dynamics of wave packet centers and wave packet deformations. Three systems of increasing com...
