Nonstatistical quantum-classical correspondence in phase space

  • Published:
Foundations of Physics Letters

Abstract

We study the properties of a causal quantum theory in phase space for which phase space classical mechanics is obtained as a limit. The causal quantum theory is obtained from a generalized coherent state representation. The behavior for the one particle case and the manyparticle case are illustrated for the harmonic oscillator. We also answer to the arguments against the possibility of constructing causal theories in phase space.
