Wigner Analysis of Particle Dynamics and Decoherence in Wide Nonharmonic Potentials

We derive an analytical expression of a Wigner function that approximately describes the time evolution of the one-dimensional motion of a particle in a nonharmonic potential. Our method involves two exact frame transformations, accounting for both the classical dynamics of the centroid of the initi...
