“…Among the possible different approaches, the Wigner function (WF) has been widely employed. This function has been succesfully used in several fields of quantum statistical physics, such as molecular, atomic, and nuclear physics, quantum optics, quantum chemistry, quantum entanglement and entropy [1,2,3,4,5,6,7] ‡. In particular, the WF has proved to be very useful for studying quantum electron transport [8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26], owing to its strong analogy with the semiclassical picture, since it explicitly refers to variables defined in an (r,p) Wigner phase space, together with a rigorous description of electron dynamics in quantum terms.…”
